Fix incorrect pruning of NULL partition when a table is partitioned

NOT</literal> clause (David Rowley)
</para>
<para>
A NULL value satisfies a clause such
as <literal><replaceable>boolcol</replaceable> IS NOT
FALSE</literal>, so pruning away a partition containing NULLs

Make <command>ALTER FOREIGN TABLE SET SCHEMA</command> move any

</para>
<para>
Moving a regular table to a new schema causes any sequences owned by
the table to be moved to that schema too (along with indexes and
constraints). This was overlooked for foreign tables, however.

<para>
Avoid deadlock during removal of orphaned temporary tables
(Mikhail Zhilin)
</para>
<para>
If the session that creates a temporary table crashes without
removing the table, autovacuum will eventually try to remove the
orphaned table. However, an incoming session that's been assigned
the same temporary namespace will do that too. If a temporary table
has a dependency (such as an owned sequence) then a deadlock could
result between these two cleanup attempts.

Ensure that join conditions generated from equivalence classes are
applied at the correct plan level (Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
In versions before <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> 16, it was
possible for generated conditions to be evaluated below outer joins
when they should be evaluated above (after) the outer join, leading
to incorrect query results. All versions have a similar hazard when
considering joins to <command>UNION ALL</command> trees that have
constant outputs for the join column in
some <command>SELECT </command> arms.

Avoid unnecessary use of moving-aggregate mode with a non-moving
window frame (Vallimaharajan G)
</para>
<para>
When a plain aggregate is used as a window function, and the window
frame start is specified as <literal>UNBOUNDED PRECEDING</literal>,
the frame's head cannot move so we do not need to use the special
(and more expensive) moving-aggregate mode. This optimization was
intended all along, but due to a coding error it never triggered.

Be more careful with <type>RECORD</type>-returning functions
in <literal>FROM</literal> (Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
The output columns of such a function call must be defined by
an <literal>AS</literal> clause that specifies the column names and
data types. If the actual function output value doesn't match that,
an error is supposed to be thrown at runtime. However, some code
paths would examine the actual value prematurely, and potentially
issue strange errors or suffer assertion failures if it doesn't
match expectations.
