Up to now, psql's tab-complete.c has had exactly no regression test
coverage. This patch is an experimental attempt to add some.
This needs Perl's IO::Pty module, which isn't installed everywhere,
so the test script just skips all tests if that's not present.
There may be other portability gotchas too, so I await buildfarm
results with interest.
So far this just covers a few very basic keyword-completion and
query-driven-completion scenarios, which should be enough to let us
get a feel for whether this is practical at all from a portability
standpoint. If it is, there's lots more that can be done.

src/test/kerberos and src/test/ldap need to run a private authentication
server of the relevant type, for which they need a free TCP port.
They were just picking a random port number in 48K-64K, which works
except when something's already using the particular port. Notably,
the probability of failure rises dramatically if one simply runs those
tests in a tight loop, because each test cycle leaves behind a bunch of
high ports that are transiently in TIME_WAIT state.
To fix, split out the code that PostgresNode.pm already had for
identifying a free TCP port number, so that it can be invoked to choose
a port for the KDC or LDAP server. This isn't 100% bulletproof, since
conceivably something else on the machine could grab the port between
the time we check and the time we actually start the server. But that's
a pretty short window, so in practice this should be good enough.

Up to now the tests of pg_rewind have been using a superuser for all its
tests (which is the default of many tests actually, and something that
ought to be reviewed) when involving an online source server, still it
is possible to use a non-superuser role to do that as long as this role
is granted permissions to execute all the source-side functions used for
the rewind. This is possible since v11, and was already documented as
of bfc8068.
PostgresNode::init is extended so as callers of this routine can add
extra options to configure the authentication of a new node, which gets
used by this commit, and allows the tests to work properly on Windows
where SSPI is used.
This will allow to catch up easily any change in pg_rewind if the tool
begins to use more backend-side functions, so as the properties
introduced by v11 are kept.

When libpq is loaded in the server (for instance, by
libpqwalreceiver), it may use libpq environment variables set in the
postmaster environment for connection parameter defaults. This has
some confusing effects in our test suites. For example, the TAP test
infrastructure sets PGAPPNAME to allow identifying clients in the
server log. But this environment variable is also inherited by
temporary servers started with pg_ctl and is then in turn used by
libpqwalreceiver as the application_name for connecting to remote
servers where it then shows up in pg_stat_replication and is relevant
for things like synchronous_standby_names. Replication already has a
suitable default for application_name, and overriding that
accidentally then requires the individual test cases to re-override
that, which is all very confusing and unnecessary.
To fix, unset PGAPPNAME temporarily before running pg_ctl start or
restart in the tests.
More comprehensive approaches like unsetting all environment variables
in pg_ctl were considered but might be too complicated to achieve
portably.
The now unnecessary re-overriding of application_name by test cases is
also removed.

WAL senders sending logically-decoded data fail to properly report in
"streaming" state when starting up, hence as long as one extra record is
not replayed, such WAL senders would remain in a "catchup" state, which
is inconsistent with the physical cousin.
This can be easily reproduced by for example using pg_recvlogical and
restarting the upstream server. The TAP tests have been slightly
modified to detect the failure and strengthened so as future tests also
make sure that a node is in streaming state when waiting for its
catchup.

The vertical tightness settings collapse vertical whitespace between
opening and closing brackets (parentheses, square brakets and braces).
This can make data structures in particular harder to read, and is not
very consistent with our style in non-Perl code. This patch restricts
that setting to parentheses only, and reformats all the perl code
accordingly. Not applying this to parentheses has some unfortunate
effects, so the consensus is to keep the setting for parentheses and not
for the others.
The diff for this patch does highlight some places where structures
should have trailing commas. They can be added manually, as there is no
automatic tool to do so.

Allow the cluster to be optionally init'd with read access for the
group.
This means a relatively non-privileged user can perform a backup of the
cluster without requiring write privileges, which enhances security.
The mode of PGDATA is used to determine whether group permissions are
enabled for directory and file creates. This method was chosen as it's
simple and works well for the various utilities that write into PGDATA.
Changing the mode of PGDATA manually will not automatically change the
mode of all the files contained therein. If the user would like to
enable group access on an existing cluster then changing the mode of all
the existing files will be required. Note that pg_upgrade will
automatically change the mode of all migrated files if the new cluster
is init'd with the -g option.
Tests are included for the backend and all the utilities which operate
on the PG data directory to ensure that the correct mode is set based on
the data directory permissions.

a handwritten polling loop in recovery/t/007_sync_rep.pl with use of

loop in our TAP tests.
Change poll_query_until() to probe ten times per second not once per
second. Like some similar changes I've been making recently, the
one-second interval seems to be rooted in ancient traditions rather
than the actual likely wait duration on modern machines. I'd consider
reducing it further if there were a convenient way to spawn just one

Several callers of PostgresNode::poll_query_until() neglected to check

that had reinvented poll_query_until() for no very good reason.
By default, wal_retrieve_retry_interval is five seconds, which is far
more than is needed in any of our TAP tests, leaving the test cases
just twiddling their thumbs for significant stretches. Moreover,
because it's so large, we get basically no testing of the retry-before-
master-is-ready code path. Hence, make PostgresNode::init set up
wal_retrieve_retry_interval = '500ms' as part of its customization of

Msys virtual file system paths, as postgres is completely unaware of the
latter, so prefix them with the Windows path to the virtual file system
root. Clean psql and pg_recvlogical output of carriage returns.
PostgresNode blithely ignored the exit status of pg_ctl, and in general
made no effort to be sure that the server was running when it should be.
This caused it to miss server crashes, which is a serious shortcoming
in a test scaffold. Make it complain if pg_ctl fails, and modify the
start and stop logic to complain if the server doesn't start, or doesn't
stop, when expected.
Also, have it turn off the "restart_after_crash" configuration parameter
in created clusters, as bitter experience has shown that leaving that on
can mask crashes too.
We might at some point need variant functions that allow for, eg,
server start failure to be expected. But no existing test case appears
to want that, and it surely shouldn't be the default behavior.
Note that this *will* break the buildfarm, as it will expose known
bugs that the previous testing failed to. I'm committing it despite

Although the documentation for append_conf said clearly that it didn't
add a newline, many test authors seem to have forgotten that ... or maybe
they just consulted the example at the top of the POD documentation,
which clearly shows adding a config entry without bothering to add a
trailing newline. The worst part of that is that it works, as long as
you don't do it more than once, since the backend isn't picky about
whether config files end with newlines. So there's not a strong forcing
function reminding test authors not to do it like that. Upshot is that
this is a terribly fragile way to go about things, and there's at least
one existing test case that is demonstrably broken and not testing what
it thinks it is.
Let's just make append_conf append a newline, instead; that is clearly
way safer than the old definition.
I also cleaned up a few call sites that were unnecessarily ugly.
(I left things alone in places where it's plausible that additional
config lines would need to be added someday.)
Back-patch the change in append_conf itself to 9.6 where it was added,

be pretty hazardous for back-patching TAP tests. The other changes are
