Since file_fdw uses COPY internally, but COPY doesn't allow listing
generated columns in its column list, we need to make sure that we
don't add generated columns to the column lists internally generated
by file_fdw.

Also enable this for postgres_fdw.

When an UPDATE causes a row to no longer match the partition
constraint, try to move it to a different partition where it does
match the partition constraint. In essence, the UPDATE is split into
a DELETE from the old partition and an INSERT into the new one. This
can lead to surprising behavior in concurrency scenarios because
EvalPlanQual rechecks won't work as they normally did; the known
problems are documented. (There is a pending patch to improve the
situation further, but it needs more review.)

This doesn't allow routing tuple to the foreign partitions themselves,
but it permits tuples to be routed to regular partitions despite the
presence of foreign partitions in the same inheritance hierarchy.

To ensure that "make installcheck" can be used safely against an existing
installation, we need to be careful about what global object names
(database, role, and tablespace names) we use; otherwise we might
accidentally clobber important objects. There's been a weak consensus that
test databases should have names including "regression", and that test role
names should start with "regress_", but we didn't have any particular rule
about tablespace names; and neither of the other rules was followed with
any consistency either.
This commit moves us a long way towards having a hard-and-fast rule that
regression test databases must have names including "regression", and that
test role and tablespace names must start with "regress_". It's not
completely there because I did not touch some test cases in rolenames.sql
that test creation of special role names like "session_user". That will
require some rethinking of exactly what we want to test, whereas the intent
of this patch is just to hit all the cases in which the needed renamings
are cosmetic.
There is no enforcement mechanism in this patch either, but if we don't
add one we can expect that the tests will soon be violating the convention
again. Again, that's not such a cosmetic change and it will require
discussion. (But I did use a quick-hack enforcement patch to find these
cases.)

Commit fbe5a3fb73 accidentally changed
this behavior; put things back the way they were, and add some
regression tests.
Report by Andres Freund; patch by Ashutosh Bapat, with a bit of
kibitzing by me.
Foreign tables can now be inheritance children, or parents. Much of the
system was already ready for this, but we had to fix a few things of
course, mostly in the area of planner and executor handling of row locks.
As side effects of this, allow foreign tables to have NOT VALID CHECK
constraints (and hence to accept ALTER ... VALIDATE CONSTRAINT), and to
accept ALTER SET STORAGE and ALTER SET WITH/WITHOUT OIDS. Continuing to
disallow these things would've required bizarre and inconsistent special
cases in inheritance behavior. Since foreign tables don't enforce CHECK
constraints anyway, a NOT VALID one is a complete no-op, but that doesn't
mean we shouldn't allow it. And it's possible that some FDWs might have
use for SET STORAGE or SET WITH OIDS, though doubtless they will be no-ops
for most.
An additional change in support of this is that when a ModifyTable node
has multiple target tables, they will all now be explicitly identified
in EXPLAIN output, for example:
Update on pt1 (cost=0.00..321.05 rows=3541 width=46)
Update on pt1
Foreign Update on ft1
Foreign Update on ft2
Update on child3
-> Seq Scan on pt1 (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=46)
-> Foreign Scan on ft1 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46)
-> Foreign Scan on ft2 (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46)
-> Seq Scan on child3 (cost=0.00..25.00 rows=1200 width=46)
This was done mainly to provide an unambiguous place to attach "Remote SQL"
fields, but it is useful for inherited updates even when no foreign tables
are involved.
Shigeru Hanada and Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by Ashutosh Bapat and Kyotaro
Horiguchi, some additional hacking by me
As with NOT NULL constraints, we consider that such constraints are merely
reports of constraints that are being enforced by the remote server (or
other underlying storage mechanism). Their only real use is to allow
planner optimizations, for example in constraint-exclusion checks. Thus,
the code changes here amount to little more than removal of the error that
was formerly thrown for applying CHECK to a foreign table.
(In passing, do a bit of cleanup of the ALTER FOREIGN TABLE reference page,
which had accumulated some weird decisions about ordering etc.)

This forces an input field containing the quoted null string to be
returned as a NULL. Without this option, only unquoted null strings
behave this way. This helps where some CSV producers insist on quoting
every field, whether or not it is needed. The option takes a list of
fields, and only applies to those columns. There is an equivalent
column-level option added to file_fdw.

This patch adds the core-system infrastructure needed to support updates
on foreign tables, and extends contrib/postgres_fdw to allow updates
against remote Postgres servers. There's still a great deal of room for
improvement in optimization of remote updates, but at least there's basic
functionality there now.

This is implemented as a per-column boolean option, rather than trying
to match COPY's convention of a single option listing the column names.

This was already a runtime failure condition, but it's better to check
at validation time if possible. Lightly modified version of a patch
by Shigeru Hanada.
This is both very useful in its own right, and an important test case
for the core FDW support.
This commit includes a small refactoring of copy.c to expose its option
checking code as a separately callable function. The original patch
submission duplicated hundreds of lines of that code, which seemed pretty
unmaintainable.
