The code for wrapping subquery output expressions in PlaceHolderVars
believed that if the expression already was a PlaceHolderVar, it was
never necessary to wrap that in another one. That's wrong if the
expression is underneath an outer join and involves a lateral
reference to outside that scope: failing to add an additional PHV
risks evaluating the expression at the wrong place and hence not
forcing it to null when the outer join should do so. This is an
oversight in commit 9e7e29c75, which added logic to forcibly wrap
lateral-reference Vars in PlaceHolderVars, but didn't see that the
adjacent case for PlaceHolderVars needed the same treatment.
The test case we have for this doesn't fail before 4be058fe9, but now
that I see the problem I wonder if it is possible to demonstrate
related errors before that. That's moot though, since all such
branches are out of support.

pg_combinebackup had various problems:
* strncpy was used in various places where strlcpy should be used
instead, to avoid any possibility of the result not being
\0-terminated.
* scan_for_existing_tablespaces() failed to close the directory,
and an error when opening the directory was reported with the
wrong pathname.
* write_reconstructed_file() contained some redundant and therefore
dead code.
* flush_manifest() didn't check the result of pg_checksum_update()
as we do in other places, and misused a local pathname variable
that shouldn't exist at all.
In pg_basebackup, the wrong variable name was used in one place,
due to a copy and paste that was not properly adjusted.
In blkreftable.c, the loop incorrectly doubled chunkno instead of
max_chunks. Fix that. Also remove a nearby assertion per repeated

During upgrade, when pg_restore performs CREATE DATABASE, bgwriter or
checkpointer may flush buffers and hold a file handle for pg_largeobject,
so later TRUNCATE pg_largeobject command will fail if OS (such as older
Windows versions) doesn't remove an unlinked file completely till it's

because we use wal_level as logical via allows_streaming => 'logical'

In commit 3e51b278d I (tgl) caused initdb to leave lc_messages and
other lc_xxx GUCs commented-out in the installed postgresql.conf file
if they were going to be set to 'C'. This was a hack for cosmetic
purposes, and it was buggy because lc_messages' wired-in default is
not 'C' but '' (empty string). That led to --no-locale not having
the expected effect, since the postmaster would then obtain
lc_messages from its startup environment.
Let's just revert to the prior behavior of always de-commenting the
lc_xxx entries; the argument for changing that longstanding behavior
was weak in the first place.
Also, fix postgresql.conf.sample's erroneous claim that the default
value of lc_messages is 'C'. I suspect that was what misled me into

These were not testing the same thing as the comparable Assert

Essentially this moves the non-interactive part of psql's "\password"
command into an exported client function. The password is not sent to the
server in cleartext because it is "encrypted" (in the case of scram and md5
it is actually hashed, but we have called these encrypted passwords for a
long time now) on the client side. This is good because it ensures the
cleartext password is never known by the server, and therefore won't end up
in logs, pg_stat displays, etc.
In other words, it exists for the same reason as PQencryptPasswordConn(), but
is more convenient as it both builds and runs the "ALTER USER" command for
you. PQchangePassword() uses PQencryptPasswordConn() to do the password
encryption. PQencryptPasswordConn() is passed a NULL for the algorithm
argument, hence encryption is done according to the server's
password_encryption setting.
Also modify the psql client to use the new function. That provides a builtin
test case. Ultimately drivers built on top of libpq should expose this
function and its use should be generally encouraged over doing ALTER USER
directly for password changes.

This replaces dblink's blocking libpq calls, allowing cancellation and
allowing DROP DATABASE (of a database not involved in the query). Apart
from explicit dblink_cancel_query() calls, dblink still doesn't cancel
the remote side. The replacement for the blocking calls consists of
new, general-purpose query execution wrappers in the libpqsrv facility.
Out-of-tree extensions should adopt these. Use them in postgres_fdw,
replacing a local implementation from which the libpqsrv implementation
derives. This is a bug fix for dblink. Code inspection identified the
bug at least thirteen years ago, but user complaints have not appeared.

Since commit 599b33b94, this function assumed that every RTE_RELATION
RangeTblEntry would have an associated RelOptInfo. But that's not so:
we only build RelOptInfos for relations that are scanned by the query.
In particular the target of an INSERT won't have one, so that Vars
appearing in an INSERT ... RETURNING list will not have an associated
RelOptInfo. This apparently wasn't a problem before commit f7816aec2
taught examine_simple_variable() to drill down into CTEs containing
INSERT RETURNING, but it is now.
To fix, add a fallback code path that gets the userid to use directly
from the RTEPermissionInfo associated with the RTE. (Sadly, we must
have two code paths, because not every RTE has a RTEPermissionInfo
either.)

When the SJE code handles the transfer of qual clauses from the removed
relation to the remaining one, it replaces the Vars of the removed
relation with the Vars of the remaining relation for each clause, and
then reintegrates these clauses into the appropriate restriction or join
clause lists, while attempting to avoid duplicates.
However, the code compares RestrictInfo->clause to determine if two
clauses are duplicates. This is just flat wrong. Two RestrictInfos
with the same clause can have different required_relids,
incompatible_relids, is_pushed_down, and so on. This can cause qual
clauses to be mistakenly omitted, leading to wrong results.
This patch fixes it by comparing the entire RestrictInfos not just their
clauses ignoring 'rinfo_serial' field (otherwise almost all RestrictInfos will
be unique). Making 'rinfo_serial' equal_ignore would break other code. This
is why this commit implements our own comparison function for checking the
equality of RestrictInfos.

If we have DECHIST statistics about the argument expression, use
the average number of distinct elements as the array length estimate.
(It'd be better to use the average total number of elements, but
that is not currently calculated by compute_array_stats(), and
it's unclear that it'd be worth extra effort to get.)
To do this, we have to change the signature of estimate_array_length
to pass the "root" pointer. While at it, also change its result
type to "double". That's probably not really necessary, but it
avoids any risk of overflow of the value extracted from DECHIST.
All existing callers are going to use the result in a "double"

Many foreach loops only use the ListCell pointer to retrieve the

ListCell *lc;
foreach(lc, mylist)
{
int myint = lfirst_int(lc);

This commit adds a few convenience macros that automatically
declare the loop variable and retrieve the current cell's contents.
This allows us to rewrite the previous loop like this:
foreach_int(myint, mylist)
{
...
}
This commit also adjusts a few existing loops in order to add
coverage for the new/adjusted macros. There is presently no plan
to bulk update all foreach loops, as that could introduce a
significant amount of back-patching pain. Instead, these macros
are primarily intended for use in new code.
