The --tablespace-mapping option was specified with required_argument
rather than no_argument, which is wrong. Since the actual argument
string passed to getopt_long() included "T:", the single-character
form of the option still worked, but the long form did not. Repair.
The call to getopt_long() erroneously included "P", which doesn't
correspond to any supported option. Remove.
The help message used "do not" in one place and "don't" in another.
Standardize on "do not".
The documentation erroneously stated that the tablespace mappings
would be applied relative to the pathnames in the first backup
specified on the command line, rather than the final one. Fix.
Thanks to Tomas Vondra and Daniel Gustafsson for alerting me to
these mistakes.

If not all backups have the same checksum status, but the final backup
has checksums enabled, then the output directory may include pages
with invalid checksums. Document this limitation and explain how to
work around it.
In a future release, we may want to teach pg_combinebackup to
recompute page checksums when required, but as feature freeze has come
and gone, it seems a bit too late to do that for this release.

Allow pg_sync_replication_slots() to error out during promotion of standby.
This makes the behavior of the SQL function consistent with the slot sync
worker. We also ensured that pg_sync_replication_slots() cannot be
executed if sync_replication_slots is enabled and the slotsync worker is
already running to perform the synchronization of slots. Previously, it
would have succeeded in cases when the worker is idle and failed when it
is performing sync which could confuse users.
This patch fixes another issue in the slot sync worker where
SignalHandlerForShutdownRequest() needs to be registered *before* setting
SlotSyncCtx->pid, otherwise, the slotsync worker could miss handling
SIGINT sent by the startup process(ShutDownSlotSync) if it is sent before
worker could register SignalHandlerForShutdownRequest(). To be consistent,
all signal handlers' registration is moved to a prior location before we
set the worker's pid.
Ensure that we clean up synced temp slots at the end of
pg_sync_replication_slots() to avoid such slots being left over after
promotion.
Ensure that ShutDownSlotSync() captures SlotSyncCtx->pid under spinlock to
avoid accessing invalid value as it can be reset by concurrent slot sync
exit due to an error.

The optimization for inserts into BRIN indexes added by c1ec02be1d79
relies on a cache that needs to be explicitly released after calling
index_insert(). The commit however failed to invoke the cleanup in
validate_index(), which calls index_insert() indirectly through
table_index_validate_scan().
After inspecting index_insert() callers, it seems unique_key_recheck()
is missing the call too.
Fixed by adding the two missing index_insert_cleanup() calls.
The commit does two additional improvements. The aminsertcleanup()
signature is modified to have the index as the first argument, to make
it more like the other AM callbacks. And the aminsertcleanup() callback
is invoked even if the ii_AmCache is NULL, so that it can decide if the
cleanup is necessary.

The code associated with EXEC SQL DEFINE was unreadable and full of
bugs, notably:
* It'd attempt to free a non-malloced string if the ecpg program
tries to redefine a macro that was defined on the command line.
* Possible memory stomp if user writes "-D=foo".
* Undef'ing or redefining a macro defined on the command line would
change the state visible to the next file, when multiple files are
specified on the command line. (While possibly that could have been
an intentional choice, the code clearly intends to revert to the
original macro state; it's just failing to consider this interaction.)
* Missing "break" in defining a new macro meant that redefinition
of an existing name would cause an extra entry to be added to the
definition list. While not immediately harmful, a subsequent undef
would result in the prior entry becoming visible again.
* The interactions with input buffering are subtle and were entirely
undocumented.
It's not that surprising that we hadn't noticed these bugs,
because there was no test coverage at all of either the -D
command line switch or multiple input files. This patch adds
such coverage (in a rather hacky way I guess).
In addition to the code bugs, the user documentation was confused
about whether the -D switch defines a C macro or an ecpg one, and
it failed to mention that you can write "-Dsymbol=value".
These problems are old, so back-patch to all supported branches.

The documentation for SET ROLE states that superusers who switch to
a non-superuser role lose their superuser privileges. While this
is true for most commands, there are exceptions such as SET ROLE
and SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION, which continue to use the current
session user and the authenticated user, respectively.
Furthermore, the description of this command already describes its
effect, so it is arguably unnecessary to include this special case.
This commit removes the note about the superuser case and adds a
sentence about the aforementioned exceptions to the description.

This addresses a few problems with commit e5da0fe3c22 ("Catalog domain
not-null constraints").
In CREATE DOMAIN, a NOT NULL constraint looks like
CREATE DOMAIN d1 AS int [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL
(Before e5da0fe3c22, the constraint name was accepted but ignored.)
But in ALTER DOMAIN, a NOT NULL constraint looks like
ALTER DOMAIN d1 ADD [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL VALUE
where VALUE is where for a table constraint the column name would be.
(This works as of e5da0fe3c22. Before e5da0fe3c22, this syntax
resulted in an internal error.)
But for domains, this latter syntax is confusing and needlessly
inconsistent between CREATE and ALTER. So this changes it to just
ALTER DOMAIN d1 ADD [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL
(None of these syntaxes are per SQL standard; we are just living with
the bits of inconsistency that have built up over time.)
In passing, this also changes the psql \dD output to not show not-null
constraints in the column "Check", since it's already shown in the
column "Nullable". This has also been off since e5da0fe3c22.

A NESTED path allows to extract data from nested levels of JSON
objects given by the parent path expression, which are projected as
columns specified using a nested COLUMNS clause, just like the parent
COLUMNS clause. Rows comprised from a NESTED columns are "joined"
to the row comprised from the parent columns. If a particular NESTED
path evaluates to 0 rows, then the nested COLUMNS will emit NULLs,
making it an OUTER join.
NESTED columns themselves may include NESTED paths to allow
extracting data from arbitrary nesting levels, which are likewise
joined against the rows at the parent level.
Multiple NESTED paths at a given level are called "sibling" paths
and their rows are combined by UNIONing them, that is, after being
joined against the parent row as described above.

When testing buffer pool logic, it is useful to be able to evict
arbitrary blocks. This function can be used in SQL queries over the
pg_buffercache view to set up a wide range of buffer pool states. Of
course, buffer mappings might change concurrently so you might evict a
block other than the one you had in mind, and another session might
bring it back in at any time. That's OK for the intended purpose of
setting up developer testing scenarios, and more complicated interlocking
schemes to give stronger guararantees about that would likely be less
flexible for actual testing work anyway. Superuser-only.

libpq now always tries to send ALPN. With the traditional negotiated
SSL connections, the server accepts the ALPN, and refuses the
connection if it's not what we expect, but connecting without ALPN is
still OK. With the new direct SSL connections, ALPN is mandatory.

By skipping SSLRequest, you can eliminate one round-trip when
establishing a TLS connection. It is also more friendly to generic TLS
proxies that don't understand the PostgreSQL protocol.
This is disabled by default in libpq, because the direct TLS handshake
will fail with old server versions. It can be enabled with the
sslnegotation=direct option. It will still fall back to the negotiated
TLS handshake if the server rejects the direct attempt, either because
it is an older version or the server doesn't support TLS at all, but
the fallback can be disabled with the sslnegotiation=requiredirect
option.

Replace (expr op C1) OR (expr op C2) ... with expr op ANY(ARRAY[C1, C2, ...])
on the preliminary stage of optimization when we are still working with the
expression tree.
Here Cn is a n-th constant expression, 'expr' is non-constant expression, 'op'
is an operator which returns boolean result and has a commuter (for the case
of reverse order of constant and non-constant parts of the expression,
like 'Cn op expr').
Sometimes it can lead to not optimal plan. This is why there is a
or_to_any_transform_limit GUC. It specifies a threshold value of length of
arguments in an OR expression that triggers the OR-to-ANY transformation.
Generally, more groupable OR arguments mean that transformation will be more
likely to win than to lose.

This patch generalizes libpq's existing single-row mode to allow
individual partial-result PGresults to contain up to N rows, rather
than always one row. This reduces malloc overhead compared to plain
single-row mode, and it is very useful for psql's FETCH_COUNT feature,
since otherwise we'd have to add code (and cycles) to either merge
single-row PGresults into a bigger one or teach psql's
results-printing logic to accept arrays of PGresults.
To avoid API breakage, PQsetSingleRowMode() remains the same, and we
add a new function PQsetChunkedRowsMode() to invoke the more general
case. Also, PGresults obtained the old way continue to carry the
PGRES_SINGLE_TUPLE status code, while if PQsetChunkedRowsMode() is
used then their status code is PGRES_TUPLES_CHUNK. The underlying
logic is the same either way, though.

Just like ALTER TABLE ... MERGE PARTITIONS ... command, new patitions are
created using createPartitionTable() function with parent partition as the
template.
This commit comprises quite naive implementation which works in single process
and holds the ACCESS EXCLUSIVE LOCK on the parent table during all the
operations including the tuple routing. This is why this new DDL command
can't be recommended for large partitioned tables under a high load. However,
this implementation come in handy in certain cases even as is.
Also, it could be used as a foundation for future implementations with lesser
locking and possibly parallel.
