SPI_connect/SPI_connect_ext have not returned any value other than
SPI_OK_CONNECT since commit 1833f1a1c in v10; any errors are thrown
via ereport. (The most likely failure is out-of-memory, which has
always been thrown that way, so callers had better be prepared for
such errors.) This makes it somewhat pointless to check these
functions' result, and some callers within our code haven't been
bothering; indeed, the only usage example within spi.sgml doesn't
bother. So it's likely that the omission has propagated into
extensions too.
Hence, let's standardize on not checking, and document the return
value as historical, while not actually changing these functions'
behavior. (The original proposal was to change their return type
to "void", but that would needlessly break extensions that are
conforming to the old practice.) This saves a small amount of
boilerplate code in a lot of places.

confl_update_origin_differs:
Number of times an update was performed on a row that was
previously modified by another origin.
confl_update_exists:
Number of times that the updated value of a row violates a

Currently, only unnamed prepared statement are supported by psql with
the meta-command \bind. With only this command, it is not possible to
test named statement creation, execution or close through the extended
protocol.
This commit introduces three additional commands:
* \parse creates a prepared statement using the extended protocol,
acting as a wrapper of libpq's PQsendPrepare().
* \bind_named binds and executes an existing prepared statement using
the extended protocol, for PQsendQueryPrepared().
* \close closes an existing prepared statement using the extended
protocol, for PQsendClosePrepared().
This is going to be useful to add regression tests for the extended
query protocol, and I have some plans for that on separate threads.
Note that \bind relies on PQsendQueryParams().
The code of psql is refactored so as bind_flag is replaced by an enum in
_psqlSettings that tracks the type of libpq routine to execute, based on
the meta-command involved, with the default being PQsendQuery(). This
refactoring piece has been written by me, while Anthonin has implemented
the rest.

insert_exists: Inserting a row that violates a NOT DEFERRABLE unique constraint.
update_differ: Updating a row that was previously modified by another origin.
update_exists: The updated row value violates a NOT DEFERRABLE unique constraint.
update_missing: The tuple to be updated is missing.
delete_differ: Deleting a row that was previously modified by another origin.
delete_missing: The tuple to be deleted is missing.
For insert_exists and update_exists conflicts, the log can include the origin
and commit timestamp details of the conflicting key with track_commit_timestamp
enabled.
update_differ and delete_differ conflicts can only be detected when
track_commit_timestamp is enabled on the subscriber.
We do not offer additional logging for exclusion constraint violations because
these constraints can specify rules that are more complex than simple equality
checks. Resolving such conflicts won't be straightforward. This area can be

32d3ed816 added the "path" column to pg_backend_memory_contexts to allow
a stable method of obtaining the parent MemoryContext of a given row in
the view. Using the "path" column is now the preferred method of
obtaining the parent row.
Previously, any queries which were self-joining to this view using the
"name" and "parent" columns could get incorrect results due to the fact
that names are not unique. Here we aim to explicitly break such queries
so that they can be corrected and use the "path" column instead.
It is possible that there are more innocent users of the parent column
that just need an indication of the parent and having to write out a
self-joining CTE may be an unnecessary hassle for those cases. Let's
remove the column for now and see if anyone comes back with any
complaints. This does seem like a good time to attempt to get rid of
the column as we still have around 1 year to revert this if someone comes
back with a valid complaint. Plus this view is new to v14 and is quite
niche, so perhaps not many people will be affected.

When pg_dump retrieves the list of database objects and performs the
data dump, there was possibility that objects are replaced with others
of the same name, such as views, and access them. This vulnerability
could result in code execution with superuser privileges during the
pg_dump process.
This issue can arise when dumping data of sequences, foreign
tables (only 13 or later), or tables registered with a WHERE clause in
the extension configuration table.
To address this, pg_dump now utilizes the newly introduced
restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind GUC parameter to restrict the
accesses to non-system views and foreign tables during the dump
process. This new GUC parameter is added to back branches too, but
these changes do not require cluster recreation.

This acts as a template of what can be achieved with the pluggable
cumulative stats APIs introduced in 7949d95945 for the
variable-numbered case where stats entries are stored in the pgstats
dshash, while being potentially useful on its own for injection points,
say to add starting and/or stopping conditions based on the statistics
(want to trigger a callback after N calls, for example?).
Currently, the only data gathered is the number of times an injection
point is run. More fields can always be added as required. All the
routines related to the stats are located in their own file, called
injection_stats.c in the test module injection_points, for clarity.
The stats can be used only if the test module is loaded through
shared_preload_libraries. The key of the dshash uses InvalidOid for the
database, and an int4 hash of the injection point name as object ID.
A TAP test is added to provide coverage for the new custom cumulative
stats APIs, showing the persistency of the data across restarts, for
example.

This commit adds support in the backend for $subject, allowing
out-of-core extensions to plug their own custom kinds of cumulative
statistics. This feature has come up a few times into the lists, and
the first, original, suggestion came from Andres Freund, about
pg_stat_statements to use the cumulative statistics APIs in shared
memory rather than its own less efficient internals. The advantage of
this implementation is that this can be extended to any kind of
statistics.
The stats kinds are divided into two parts:
- The in-core "builtin" stats kinds, with designated initializers, able
to use IDs up to 128.
- The "custom" stats kinds, able to use a range of IDs from 128 to 256
(128 slots available as of this patch), with information saved in
TopMemoryContext. This can be made larger, if necessary.
There are two types of cumulative statistics in the backend:
- For fixed-numbered objects (like WAL, archiver, etc.). These are
attached to the snapshot and pgstats shmem control structures for
efficiency, and built-in stats kinds still do that to avoid any
redirection penalty. The data of custom kinds is stored in a first
array in snapshot structure and a second array in the shmem control
structure, both indexed by their ID, acting as an equivalent of the
builtin stats.
- For variable-numbered objects (like tables, functions, etc.). These
are stored in a dshash using the stats kind ID in the hash lookup key.
Internally, the handling of the builtin stats is unchanged, and both
fixed and variabled-numbered objects are supported. Structure
definitions for builtin stats kinds are renamed to reflect better the
differences with custom kinds.
Like custom RMGRs, custom cumulative statistics can only be loaded with
shared_preload_libraries at startup, and must allocate a unique ID
shared across all the PostgreSQL extension ecosystem with the following
wiki page to avoid conflicts:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/CustomCumulativeStats
This makes the detection of the stats kinds and their handling when
reading and writing stats much easier than, say, allocating IDs for
stats kinds from a shared memory counter, that may change the ID used by
a stats kind across restarts. When under development, extensions can
use PGSTAT_KIND_EXPERIMENTAL.
Two examples that can be used as templates for fixed-numbered and
variable-numbered stats kinds will be added in some follow-up commits,
with tests to provide coverage.
Some documentation is added to explain how to use this plugin facility.

pg_wal_replay_wait() is to be used on standby and specifies waiting for
the specific WAL location to be replayed. This option is useful when
the user makes some data changes on primary and needs a guarantee to see
these changes are on standby.
The queue of waiters is stored in the shared memory as an LSN-ordered pairing
heap, where the waiter with the nearest LSN stays on the top. During
the replay of WAL, waiters whose LSNs have already been replayed are deleted
from the shared memory pairing heap and woken up by setting their latches.
pg_wal_replay_wait() needs to wait without any snapshot held. Otherwise,
the snapshot could prevent the replay of WAL records, implying a kind of
self-deadlock. This is why it is only possible to implement
pg_wal_replay_wait() as a procedure working without an active snapshot,
not a function.
