Per buildfarm, the output order of \dx+ isn't consistent across  
locales.  Apply NO_LOCALE to force C locale.  There might be a  
more localized way, but I'm not seeing it offhand, and anyway  
there is nothing in this test module that particularly cares  
about locales.

In extensions, don't replace objects not belonging to the extension.

Previously, if an extension script did CREATE OR REPLACE and there was  
an existing object not belonging to the extension, it would overwrite  
the object and adopt it into the extension.  This is problematic, first  
because the overwrite is probably unintentional, and second because we  
didn't change the object's ownership.  Thus a hostile user could create  
an object in advance of an expected CREATE EXTENSION command, and would  
then have ownership rights on an extension object, which could be  
modified for trojan-horse-type attacks.  
  
Hence, forbid CREATE OR REPLACE of an existing object unless it already  
belongs to the extension.  (Note that we've always forbidden replacing  
an object that belongs to some other extension; only the behavior for  
previously-free-standing objects changes here.)  
  
For the same reason, also fail CREATE IF NOT EXISTS when there is  
an existing object that doesn't belong to the extension.  
  
Our thanks to Sven Klemm for reporting this problem.

Commit 59be1c942a47 already tried to make  
src/test/recovery/t/033_replay_tsp_drops more reliable, but it wasn't  
enough.  Try to improve on that by making this use of a replication slot  
to be more like others.  Also, don't drop the slot.  
  
Make a few other stylistic changes while at it.  It's still quite slow,  
which is another thing that we need to fix in this script.

This makes it more convenient for git config to contain the  
blame.ignoreRevsFile setting; otherwise current git versions complain if  
the file is not present.  
  
I constructed the file for each branch by scraping the file in branch  
master for commits that appear in that branch.  Because a few additional  
pgindent commits have been added to the list in master since the list  
was first created, this also propagates those to branches 14 and 15  
where the file already existed.  Also, some entries appear to have been  
made using author-date rather than committer-date in the format string,  
so some timestamps are changed.  Also remove bogus whitespace in the  
suggested `git log` format string.  
  
Backpatch to all supported branches.

That bit is unlogged and therefore it's wrong to consider it in WAL page  
comparison.  
  
Add a test that tickles the case, as branch testing technology allows.

Ordinarily the functions called in this loop ought to have plenty  
of CFIs themselves; but we've now seen a case where no such CFI is  
reached, making the loop uninterruptible.  Even though that's from  
a recently-introduced bug, it seems prudent to install a CFI at  
the loop level in all branches.

The sto_using_cursor and sto_using_select tests were coded to exercise  
every permutation of their test steps, but AFAICS there is no value in  
exercising more than one.  This matters because each permutation costs  
about six seconds, thanks to the "pg_sleep(6)".  Perhaps we could  
reduce that, but the useless permutations seem worth getting rid of  
in any case.  (Note that sto_using_hash_index got it right already.)  
  
While here, clean up some other sloppiness such as an unused table.  
  
This doesn't make too much difference in interactive testing, since the  
wasted time is typically masked by parallelization with other tests.  
However, the buildfarm runs this as a serial step, which means we can  
expect to shave ~40 seconds from every buildfarm run.  That makes it  
worth back-patching.

Be more wary about 32-bit integer overflow in pg_stat_statements.

We've heard a couple of reports of people having trouble with  
multi-gigabyte-sized query-texts files.  It occurred to me that on  
32-bit platforms, there could be an issue with integer overflow  
of calculations associated with the total query text size.  
Address that with several changes:  
  
1. Limit pg_stat_statements.max to INT_MAX / 2 not INT_MAX.  
The hashtable code will bound it to that anyway unless "long"  
is 64 bits.  We still need overflow guards on its use, but  
this helps.  
  
2. Add a check to prevent extending the query-texts file to  
more than MaxAllocHugeSize.  If it got that big, qtext_load_file  
would certainly fail, so there's not much point in allowing it.  
Without this, we'd need to consider whether extent, query_offset,  
and related variables shouldn't be off_t not size_t.  
  
3. Adjust the comparisons in need_gc_qtexts() to be done in 64-bit  
arithmetic on all platforms.  It appears possible that under duress  
those multiplications could overflow 32 bits, yielding a false  
conclusion that we need to garbage-collect the texts file, which  
could lead to repeatedly garbage-collecting after every hash table  
insertion.  
  
Per report from Bruno da Silva.  I'm not convinced that these  
issues fully explain his problem; there may be some other bug that's  
contributing to the query-texts file becoming so large in the first  
place.  But it did get that big, so #2 is a reasonable defense,  
and #3 could explain the reported performance difficulties.  
  
(See also commit 8bbe4cbd9, which addressed some related bugs.  
The second Discussion: link is the thread that led up to that.)  
  
This issue is old, and is primarily a problem for old platforms,  
so back-patch.

I thought commit fd96d14d9 had plugged all the holes of this sort,  
but no, function RTEs could produce oversize tuples too, either  
via long coldeflists or just from multiple functions in one RTE.  
(I'm pretty sure the other variants of base RTEs aren't a problem,  
because they ultimately refer to either a table or a sub-SELECT,  
whose widths are enforced elsewhere.  But we explicitly allow join  
RTEs to be overwidth, as long as you don't try to form their  
tuple result.)

A RowExpr with more than MaxTupleAttributeNumber columns would fail at  
execution anyway, since we cannot form a tuple datum with more than that  
many columns.  While heap_form_tuple() has a check for too many columns,  
it emerges that there are some intermediate bits of code that don't  
check and can be driven to failure with sufficiently many columns.  
Checking this at parse time seems like the most appropriate place to  
install a defense, since we already check SELECT list length there.  
  
While at it, make the SELECT-list-length error use the same errcode  
(TOO_MANY_COLUMNS) as heap_form_tuple does, rather than the generic  
PROGRAM_LIMIT_EXCEEDED.  
  
Per bug #17561 from Egor Chindyaskin.  The given test case crashes  
in all supported branches (and probably a lot further back),  
so patch all.

Fix replay of create database records on standby

Crash recovery on standby may encounter missing directories  
when replaying database-creation WAL records.  Prior to this  
patch, the standby would fail to recover in such a case;  
however, the directories could be legitimately missing.  
Consider the following sequence of commands:  
  
    CREATE DATABASE  
    DROP DATABASE  
    DROP TABLESPACE  
  
If, after replaying the last WAL record and removing the  
tablespace directory, the standby crashes and has to replay the  
create database record again, crash recovery must be able to continue.  
  
A fix for this problem was already attempted in 49d9cfc68bf4, but it  
was reverted because of design issues.  This new version is based  
on Robert Haas' proposal: any missing tablespaces are created  
during recovery before reaching consistency.  Tablespaces  
are created as real directories, and should be deleted  
by later replay.  CheckRecoveryConsistency ensures  
they have disappeared.  
  
The problems detected by this new code are reported as PANIC,  
except when allow_in_place_tablespaces is set to ON, in which  
case they are WARNING.  Apart from making tests possible, this  
gives users an escape hatch in case things don't go as planned.

We have a few commands that "can't run in a transaction block",  
meaning that if they complete their processing but then we fail  
to COMMIT, we'll be left with inconsistent on-disk state.  
However, the existing defenses for this are only watertight for  
simple query protocol.  In extended protocol, we didn't commit  
until receiving a Sync message.  Since the client is allowed to  
issue another command instead of Sync, we're in trouble if that  
command fails or is an explicit ROLLBACK.  In any case, sitting  
in an inconsistent state while waiting for a client message  
that might not come seems pretty risky.  
  
This case wasn't reachable via libpq before we introduced pipeline  
mode, but it's always been an intended aspect of extended query  
protocol, and likely there are other clients that could reach it  
before.  
  
To fix, set a flag in PreventInTransactionBlock that tells  
exec_execute_message to force an immediate commit.  This seems  
to be the approach that does least damage to existing working  
cases while still preventing the undesirable outcomes.  
  
While here, add some documentation to protocol.sgml that explicitly  
says how to use pipelining.  That's latent in the existing docs if  
you know what to look for, but it's better to spell it out; and it  
provides a place to document this new behavior.

Fix ruleutils issues with dropped cols in functions-returning-composite.

Due to lack of concern for the case in the dependency code, it's  
possible to drop a column of a composite type even though stored  
queries have references to the dropped column via functions-in-FROM  
that return the composite type.  There are "soft" references,  
namely FROM-clause aliases for such columns, and "hard" references,  
that is actual Vars referring to them.  The right fix for hard  
references is to add dependencies preventing the drop; something  
we've known for many years and not done (and this commit still doesn't  
address it).  A "soft" reference shouldn't prevent a drop though.  
We've been around on this before (cf. 9b35ddce9, 2c4debbd0), but  
nobody had noticed that the current behavior can result in dump/reload  
failures, because ruleutils.c can print more column aliases than the  
underlying composite type now has.  So we need to rejigger the  
column-alias-handling code to treat such columns as dropped and not  
print aliases for them.  
  
Rather than writing new code for this, I used expandRTE() which already  
knows how to figure out which function result columns are dropped.  
I'd initially thought maybe we could use expandRTE() in all cases, but  
that fails for EXPLAIN's purposes, because the planner strips a lot of  
RTE infrastructure that expandRTE() needs.  So this patch just uses it  
for unplanned function RTEs and otherwise does things the old way.  
  
If there is a hard reference (Var), then removing the column alias  
causes us to fail to print the Var, since there's no longer a name  
to print.  Failing seems less desirable than printing a made-up  
name, so I made it print "?dropped?column?" instead.

When a non-exclusive backup is canceled, do_pg_abort_backup() is called  
and resets some variables set by pg_backup_start (pg_start_backup in v14  
or before). But previously it forgot to reset the session state indicating  
whether a non-exclusive backup is in progress or not in this session.  
  
This issue could cause an assertion failure when the session running  
BASE_BACKUP is terminated after it executed pg_backup_start and  
pg_backup_stop (pg_stop_backup in v14 or before). Also it could cause  
a segmentation fault when pg_backup_stop is called after BASE_BACKUP  
in the same session is canceled.  
  
This commit fixes the issue by making do_pg_abort_backup reset  
that session state.

Prevent BASE_BACKUP in the middle of another backup in the same session.

Multiple non-exclusive backups are able to be run conrrently in different  
sessions. But, in the same session, only one non-exclusive backup can be  
run at the same moment. If pg_backup_start (pg_start_backup in v14 or before)  
is called in the middle of another non-exclusive backup in the same session,  
an error is thrown.  
  
However, previously, in logical replication walsender mode, even if that  
walsender session had already called pg_backup_start and started  
a non-exclusive backup, it could execute BASE_BACKUP command and  
start another non-exclusive backup. Which caused subsequent pg_backup_stop  
to throw an error because BASE_BACKUP unexpectedly reset the session state  
marked by pg_backup_start.  
  
This commit prevents BASE_BACKUP command in the middle of another  
non-exclusive backup in the same session.

The motivation for this is to ensure successful transmission of the  
values of constants of regconfig and other reg* types.  The remote  
will be reading them with search_path = 'pg_catalog', so schema  
qualification is necessary when referencing objects in other schemas.

Commit 4518c798 blocks signals for a short region of code, but it  
assumed that whatever called it had the signal mask set to UnBlockSig on  
entry.  That may be true today (or may even not be, in extensions in the  
wild), but it would be better not to make that assumption.  We should  
save-and-restore the caller's signal mask.  
  
The PG_SETMASK() portability macro couldn't be used for that, which is  
why it wasn't done before.  But... considering that commit a65e0864  
established back in 9.6 that supported POSIX systems have sigprocmask(),  
and that this is POSIX-only code, there is no reason not to use standard  
sigprocmask() directly to achieve that.

On Linux, we call posix_fallocate() on shm_open()'d memory to avoid  
later potential SIGBUS (see commit 899bd785).  
  
Based on field reports of systems stuck in an EINTR retry loop there,  
there, we made it possible to break out of that loop via slightly odd  
coding where the CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() call was somewhat removed from  
the loop (see commit 422952ee).  
  
On further reflection, that was not a great choice for at least two  
reasons:  
  
1.  If interrupts were held, the CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() would do nothing  
and the EINTR error would be surfaced to the user.  
  
2.  If EINTR was reported but neither QueryCancelPending nor  
ProcDiePending was set, then we'd dutifully retry, but with a bit more  
understanding of how posix_fallocate() works, it's now clear that you  
can get into a loop that never terminates.  posix_fallocate() is not a  
function that can do some of the job and tell you about progress if it's  
interrupted, it has to undo what it's done so far and report EINTR, and  
if signals keep arriving faster than it can complete (cf recovery  
conflict signals), you're stuck.  
  
Therefore, for now, we'll simply block most signals to guarantee  
progress.  SIGQUIT is not blocked (see InitPostmasterChild()), because  
its expected handler doesn't return, and unblockable signals like  
SIGCONT are not expected to arrive at a high rate.  For good measure,  
we'll include the ftruncate() call in the blocked region, and add a  
retry loop.

When you hit ^C, the terminal driver in Unix-like systems echoes "^C" as  
well as sending an interrupt signal (depending on stty settings).  At  
least libedit (but maybe also libreadline) is then confused about the  
current cursor location, and corrupts the display if you try to scroll  
back.  Fix, by moving to a new line before the next prompt is displayed.

When locking a specific named relation for a FOR [KEY] UPDATE/SHARE  
clause, transformLockingClause() finds the relation to lock by  
scanning the rangetable for an RTE with a matching eref->aliasname.  
However, it failed to account for the visibility rules of a join RTE.  
  
If a join RTE doesn't have a user-supplied alias, it will have a  
generated eref->aliasname of "unnamed_join" that is not visible as a  
relation name in the parse namespace. Such an RTE needs to be skipped,  
otherwise it might be found in preference to a regular base relation  
with a user-supplied alias of "unnamed_join", preventing it from being  
locked.  
  
In addition, if a join RTE doesn't have a user-supplied alias, but  
does have a join_using_alias, then the RTE needs to be matched using  
that alias rather than the generated eref->aliasname, otherwise a  
misleading "relation not found" error will be reported rather than a  
"join cannot be locked" error.  
  
Backpatch all the way, except for the second part which only goes back

ecpglib: call newlocale() once per process.

ecpglib has been calling it once per SQL query and once per EXEC SQL GET  
DESCRIPTOR.  Instead, if newlocale() has not succeeded before, call it  
while establishing a connection.  This mitigates three problems:  
- If newlocale() failed in EXEC SQL GET DESCRIPTOR, the command silently  
  proceeded without the intended locale change.  
- On AIX, each newlocale()+freelocale() cycle leaked memory.  
- newlocale() CPU usage may have been nontrivial.  
  
Fail the connection attempt if newlocale() fails.  Rearrange  
ecpg_do_prologue() to validate the connection before its uselocale().  
  
The sort of program that may regress is one running in an environment  
where newlocale() fails.  If that program establishes connections  
without running SQL statements, it will stop working in response to this  
change.  I'm betting against the importance of such an ECPG use case.  
Most SQL execution (any using ECPGdo()) has long required newlocale()  
success, so there's little a connection could do without newlocale().  
  
Back-patch to v10 (all supported versions).

Previously, we trusted the OS not to report EEXIST unless we'd passed in  
IPC_CREAT | IPC_EXCL or O_CREAT | O_EXCL, as appropriate.  Solaris's  
shm_open() can in fact do that, causing us to crash because we didn't  
ereport and then we blithely assumed the mapping was successful.  
  
Let's treat EEXIST just like any other error, unless we're actually  
trying to create a new segment.  This applies to shm_open(), where this  
behavior has been seen, and also to the equivalent operations for our  
sysv and mmap modes just on principle.  
  
Based on the underlying reason for the error, namely contention on a  
lock file managed by Solaris librt for each distinct name, this problem  
is only likely to happen on 15 and later, because the new shared memory  
stats system produces shm_open() calls for the same path from  
potentially large numbers of backends concurrently during  
authentication.  Earlier releases only shared memory segments between a  
small number of parallel workers under one Gather node.  You could  
probably hit it if you tried hard enough though, and we should have been  
more defensive in the first place.  Therefore, back-patch to all  
supported releases.  
  
Per build farm animal margay.  This isn't the end of the story, though,  
it just changes random crashes into random "File exists" errors; more  
work needed for a green build farm.

Fix visibility check when XID is committed in CLOG but not in procarray.

TransactionIdIsInProgress had a fast path to return 'false' if the  
single-item CLOG cache said that the transaction was known to be  
committed. However, that was wrong, because a transaction is first  
marked as committed in the CLOG but doesn't become visible to others  
until it has removed its XID from the proc array. That could lead to an  
error:  
  
    ERROR:  t_xmin is uncommitted in tuple to be updated  
  
or for an UPDATE to go ahead without blocking, before the previous  
UPDATE on the same row was made visible.  
  
The window is usually very short, but synchronous replication makes it  
much wider, because the wait for synchronous replica happens in that  
window.  
  
Another thing that makes it hard to hit is that it's hard to get such  
a commit-in-progress transaction into the single item CLOG cache.  
Normally, if you call TransactionIdIsInProgress on such a transaction,  
it determines that the XID is in progress without checking the CLOG  
and without populating the cache. One way to prime the cache is to  
explicitly call pg_xact_status() on the XID. Another way is to use a  
lot of subtransactions, so that the subxid cache in the proc array is  
overflown, making TransactionIdIsInProgress rely on pg_subtrans and  
CLOG checks.  
  
This has been broken ever since it was introduced in 2008, but the race  
condition is very hard to hit, especially without synchronous  
replication. There were a couple of reports of the error starting from  
summer 2021, but no one was able to find the root cause then.  
  
TransactionIdIsKnownCompleted() is now unused. In 'master', remove it,  
but I left it in place in backbranches in case it's used by extensions.  
  
Also change pg_xact_status() to check TransactionIdIsInProgress().  
Previously, it only checked the CLOG, and returned "committed" before  
the transaction was actually made visible to other queries. Note that  
this also means that you cannot use pg_xact_status() to reproduce the  
bug anymore, even if the code wasn't fixed.

If an application executed operations like EXEC SQL PREPARE  
without having first established a database connection, it could  
get a core dump instead of the expected clean failure.  This  
occurred because we did "pthread_getspecific(actual_connection_key)"  
without ever having initialized the TSD key actual_connection_key.  
The results of that are probably platform-specific, but at least  
on Linux it often leads to a crash.  
  
To fix, add calls to ecpg_pthreads_init() in the code paths that  
might use actual_connection_key uninitialized.  It's harmless  
(and hopefully inexpensive) to do that more than once.

pg_stat_get_subscription scanned one more LogicalRepWorker array entry  
than is really allocated.  In the worst case this could lead to SIGSEGV,  
if the LogicalRepCtx data structure is near the end of shared memory.  
That seems quite unlikely though (thanks to the ordering of calls in  
CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores) and we've heard no field reports of it.  
A more likely misbehavior is one row of garbage data in the function's  
result, but even that is not real likely because of the check that the  
pid field matches some live backend.

psql --single-transaction is able to handle multiple -c and -f switches  
in a single transaction since d5563d7d, but this had the surprising  
behavior of forcing a transaction COMMIT even if psql failed with an  
error in the client (for example incorrect path given to \copy), which  
would generate an error, but still commit any changes that were already  
applied in the backend.  This commit makes the behavior more consistent,  
by enforcing a transaction ROLLBACK if any commands fail, both  
client-side and backend-side, so as no changes are applied if one error  
happens in any of them.  
  
Some tests are added on HEAD to provide some coverage about all that.  
Backend-side errors are unreliable as IPC::Run can complain on SIGPIPE  
if psql quits before reading a query result, but that should work  
properly in the case where any errors come from psql itself, which is  
what the original report is about.

If you have a publication that specifies FOR ALL TABLES clause, a REFRESH  
MATERIALIZED VIEW can break your setup with the following message  
  
ERROR: logical replication target relation "public.pg_temp_NNN" does not exist  
  
Commit 1a499c2520 introduces a heuristic to skip table writes that look  
like they are from a heap rewrite for a FOR ALL TABLES publication.  
However, it forgot to exclude materialized views (heap rewrites occur when  
you execute REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW). Since materialized views are not  
supported in logical decoding, it is appropriate to filter them too.  
  
As explained in the commit 1a499c2520, a more robust solution was included  
in version 11 (commit 325f2ec555), hence only version 10 is affected.

Since a117cebd6, some older gcc versions issue "variable may be used  
uninitialized in this function" complaints for brin_summarize_range.  
Silence that using the same coding pattern as in bt_index_check_internal;  
arguably, a117cebd6 had too narrow a view of which compilers might give  
trouble.

Fix pl/perl test case so it will still work under Perl 5.36.

Perl 5.36 has reclassified the warning condition that this test  
case used, so that the expected error fails to appear.  Tweak  
the test so it instead exercises a case that's handled the same  
way in all Perl versions of interest.  
  
This appears to meet our standards for back-patching into  
out-of-support branches: it changes no user-visible behavior  
but enables testing of old branches with newer tools.  
Hence, back-patch as far as 9.2.

We hadn't noticed this because (a) few people feed invalid  
timezone abbreviation files to the server, and (b) in typical  
scenarios guc.c would throw ereport(ERROR) and then transaction  
abort handling would silently clean up the leaked file reference.  
However, it was possible to observe file leakage warnings if one  
breaks an already-active abbreviation file, because guc.c does  
not throw ERROR when loading supposedly-validated settings during  
session start or SIGHUP processing.

runtime.sgml contains a passing reference to the minimum server  
version that pg_dump[all] can dump from.  That was 7.0 for many  
years, but when 64f3524e2 raised it to 8.0, we missed updating this  
bit.  Then when 30e7c175b raised it to 9.2, we missed it again.  
  
Given that track record, I'm not too hopeful that we'll remember  
to fix this in future changes ... but for now, make the docs match  
reality in each branch.

If a short description is specified as NULL in one of the various  
DefineCustomXXXVariable() functions available to external modules to  
define a custom parameter, SHOW ALL would crash.  This change teaches  
SHOW ALL to properly handle NULL short descriptions, as well as any code  
paths that manipulate it, to gain in flexibility.  Note that  
help_config.c was already able to do that, when describing a set of GUCs  
for postgres --describe-config.

Remove misguided SSL key file ownership check in libpq.

Commits a59c79564 et al. tried to sync libpq's SSL key file  
permissions checks with what we've used for years in the backend.  
We did not intend to create any new failure cases, but it turns out  
we did: restricting the key file's ownership breaks cases where the  
client is allowed to read a key file despite not having the identical  
UID.  In particular a client running as root used to be able to read  
someone else's key file; and having seen that I suspect that there are  
other, less-dubious use cases that this restriction breaks on some  
platforms.  
  
We don't really need an ownership check, since if we can read the key  
file despite its having restricted permissions, it must have the right  
ownership --- under normal conditions anyway, and the point of this  
patch is that any additional corner cases where that works should be  
deemed allowable, as they have been historically.  Hence, just drop  
the ownership check, and rearrange the permissions check to get rid  
of its faulty assumption that geteuid() can't be zero.  (Note that the  
comparable backend-side code doesn't have to cater for geteuid() == 0,  
since the server rejects that very early on.)  
  
This does have the end result that the permissions safety check used  
for a root user's private key file is weaker than that used for  
anyone else's.  While odd, root really ought to know what she's doing  
with file permissions, so I think this is acceptable.  
  
Per report from Yogendra Suralkar.  Like the previous patch,

Show 'AS "?column?"' explicitly when it's important.

ruleutils.c was coded to suppress the AS label for a SELECT output  
expression if the column name is "?column?", which is the parser's  
fallback if it can't think of something better.  This is fine, and  
avoids ugly clutter, so long as (1) nothing further up in the parse  
tree relies on that column name or (2) the same fallback would be  
assigned when the rule or view definition is reloaded.  Unfortunately  
(2) is far from certain, both because ruleutils.c might print the  
expression in a different form from how it was originally written  
and because FigureColname's rules might change in future releases.  
So we shouldn't rely on that.  
  
Detecting exactly whether there is any outer-level use of a SELECT  
column name would be rather expensive.  This patch takes the simpler  
approach of just passing down a flag indicating whether there *could*  
be any outer use; for example, the output column names of a SubLink  
are not referenceable, and we also do not care about the names exposed  
by the right-hand side of a setop.  This is sufficient to suppress  
unwanted clutter in all but one case in the regression tests.  That  
seems like reasonable evidence that it won't be too much in users'  
faces, while still fixing the cases we need to fix.

The documentation didn't specify the name of the per-user service file  
on Windows, and extrapolating from the pattern used for other config  
files gave the wrong answer.  The fact that it isn't consistent with the  
others sure seems like a bug, but it's far too late to change that now;  
we'd just penalize people who worked it out in the past.  So, simply  
document the true state of affairs.  
  
In passing, fix some gratuitous differences between the discussions

We weren't checking the length of the column list in the alias clause of  
an XMLTABLE or JSON_TABLE function (a "tablefunc" RTE), and it was  
possible to make the server crash by passing an overly long one.  Fix it  
by throwing an error in that case, like the other places that deal with  
alias lists.  
  
In passing, modify the equivalent test used for join RTEs to look like  
the other ones, which was different for no apparent reason.

If a cluster is promoted (aka the control file shows a state different  
than DB_IN_ARCHIVE_RECOVERY) while CreateRestartPoint() is still  
processing, this function could miss an update of the control file for  
"checkPoint" and "checkPointCopy" but still do the recycling and/or  
removal of the past WAL segments, assuming that the to-be-updated LSN  
values should be used as reference points for the cleanup.  This causes  
a follow-up restart attempting crash recovery to fail with a PANIC on a  
missing checkpoint record if the end-of-recovery checkpoint triggered by  
the promotion did not complete while the cluster abruptly stopped or  
crashed before the completion of this checkpoint.  The PANIC would be  
caused by the redo LSN referred in the control file as located in a  
segment already gone, recycled by the previous restartpoint with  
"checkPoint" out-of-sync in the control file.  
  
This commit fixes the update of the control file during restartpoints so  
as "checkPoint" and "checkPointCopy" are updated even if the cluster has  
been promoted while a restartpoint is running, to be on par with the set  
of WAL segments actually recycled in the end of CreateRestartPoint().  
  
7863ee4 has fixed this problem already on master, but the release timing  
of the latest point versions did not let me enough time to study and fix  
that on all the stable branches.

we don't intend to execute the argument expression(s) at runtime, but  
we still have to process any Vars appearing within them, or we risk  
failure at setrefs.c time (or more fundamentally, in EXPLAIN trying

The problem is that we don't send keep-alive messages for a long time  
while processing large transactions during logical replication where we  
don't send any data of such transactions. This can happen when the table  
modified in the transaction is not published or because all the changes  
got filtered. We do try to send the keep_alive if necessary at the end of  
the transaction (via WalSndWriteData()) but by that time the  
subscriber-side can timeout and exit.  
  
To fix this we try to send the keepalive message if required after  
processing certain threshold of changes.

The current setup assumes that commands for lz4, zstd and gzip always  
exist by default if not enforced by a user's environment.  However,  
vcpkg, as one example, installs libraries but no binaries, so this  
default setup to assume that a command should always be present would  
cause failures.  This commit improves the detection of such external  
commands as follows:  
* If a ENV value is available, trust the environment/user and use it.  
* If a ENV value is not available, check its execution by looking in the  
current PATH, by launching a simple "$command --version" (that should be  
portable enough).  
** On execution failure, ignore ENV{command}.  
** On execution success, set ENV{command} = "$command".  
  
Note that this new rule applies to gzip, lz4 and zstd but not tar that  
we assume will always exist.  Those commands are set up in the  
environment only when using bincheck and taptest.  The CI includes all  
those commands and I have checked that their setup is correct there.  I  
have also tested this change in a MSVC environment where we have none of  
those commands.  
  
While on it, remove the references to lz4 from the documentation and  
vcregress.pl in ~v13.  --with-lz4 has been added in v14~ so there is no  
point to have this information in these older branches.

configure: don't probe for libldap_r if libldap is 2.5 or newer.

In OpenLDAP 2.5 and later, libldap itself is always thread-safe and  
there's never a libldap_r.  Our existing coding dealt with that  
by assuming it wouldn't find libldap_r if libldap is thread-safe.  
But that rule fails to cope if there are multiple OpenLDAP versions  
visible, as is likely to be the case on macOS in particular.  We'd  
end up using shiny new libldap in the backend and a hoary libldap_r  
in libpq.  
  
Instead, once we've found libldap, check if it's >= 2.5 (by  
probing for a function introduced then) and don't bother looking  
for libldap_r if so.  While one can imagine library setups that  
this'd still give the wrong answer for, they seem unlikely to  
occur in practice.  
  
Per report from Peter Eisentraut.  Back-patch to all supported branches.
