We've noted certain EXPLAIN queries on these tables occasionally showing
unexpected plan choices. This seems to happen because VACUUM sometimes
fails to update relpages/reltuples for one of these single-page tables,
due to bgwriter or checkpointer holding a pin on the lone page at just
the wrong time. To ensure those values get set, insert explicit ANALYZE
operations on these tables after we finish populating them. This
doesn't seem to affect any other test cases, so it's a usable fix.
Back-patch to v12. In principle the issue exists further back, but
we have not seen it before v12, so I won't risk back-patching further.

This commit implements jsonpath .datetime() method as it's specified in
SQL/JSON standard. There are no-argument and single-argument versions of
this method. No-argument version selects first of ISO datetime formats
matching input string. Single-argument version accepts template string as
its argument.
Additionally to .datetime() method itself this commit also implements
comparison ability of resulting date and time values. There is some difficulty
because exising jsonb_path_*() functions are immutable, while comparison of
timezoned and non-timezoned types involves current timezone. At first, current
timezone could be changes in session. Moreover, timezones themselves are not
immutable and could be updated. This is why we let existing immutable functions
throw errors on such non-immutable comparison. In the same time this commit
provides jsonb_path_*_tz() functions which are stable and support operations
involving timezones. As new functions are added to the system catalog,
catversion is bumped.
Support of .datetime() method was the only blocker prevents T832 from being
marked as supported. sql_features.txt is updated correspondingly.

SQL/JSON standard allows manipulation with datetime values. So, it appears to
be convinient to allow datetime values to be represented in JsonbValue struct.
These datetime values are allowed for temporary representation only. During
serialization datetime values are converted into strings.
SQL/JSON requires writing timestamps with timezone in the same timezone offset
as they were parsed. This is why we allow storage of timezone offset in
JsonbValue struct. For the same reason timezone offset argument is added to
JsonEncodeDateTime() function.

All our current in core relation options of type string (not many,
admittedly) behave in reality like enums. But after seeing an
implementation for enum reloptions, it's clear that strings are messier,
so introduce the new reloption type. Switch all string options to be
enums instead.
Fortunately we have a recently introduced test module for reloptions, so
we don't lose coverage of string reloptions, which may still be used by

In-core relation options can use a custom lock mode since 47167b7, that
has lowered the lock available for some autovacuum parameters. However
it forgot to consider custom relation options. This causes failures
with ALTER TABLE SET when changing a custom relation option, as its lock
is not defined. The existing APIs to define a custom reloption does not
allow to define a custom lock mode, so enforce its initialization to
AccessExclusiveMode which should be safe enough in all cases. An
upcoming patch will extend the existing APIs to allow a custom lock mode
to be defined.
The problem can be reproduced with bloom indexes, so add a test there.

When a relation is truncated, shared_buffers needs to be scanned
so that any buffers for the relation forks are invalidated in it.
Previously, shared_buffers was scanned for each relation forks, i.e.,
MAIN, FSM and VM, when VACUUM truncated off any empty pages
at the end of relation or TRUNCATE truncated the relation in place.
Since shared_buffers needed to be scanned multiple times,
it could take a long time to finish those commands especially
when shared_buffers was large.
This commit changes the logic so that shared_buffers is scanned only
one time for those three relation forks.

If the bitstring length is not a multiple of 8, we'd shift the
rightmost bits into the pad space, which must be zeroes --- bit_cmp,
for one, depends on that. This'd lead to the result failing to
compare equal to what it should compare equal to, as reported in
bug #16013 from Daryl Waycott.
This is, if memory serves, not the first such bug in the bitstring
functions. In hopes of making it the last one, do a bit more work
than minimally necessary to fix the bug:
* Add assertion checks to bit_out() and varbit_out() to complain if
they are given incorrectly-padded input. This will improve the
odds that manual testing of any new patch finds problems.
* Encapsulate the padding-related logic in macros to make it
easier to use.
Also, remove unnecessary padding logic from bit_or() and bitxor().
Somebody had already noted that we need not re-pad the result of
bit_and() since the inputs are required to be the same length,
but failed to extrapolate that to the other two.
Also, move a comment block that once was near the head of varbit.c
(but people kept putting other stuff in front of it), to put it in
the header block.
Note for the release notes: if anyone has inconsistent data as a
result of saving the output of bitshiftright() in a table, it's
possible to fix it with something like
UPDATE mytab SET bitcol = ~(~bitcol) WHERE bitcol != ~(~bitcol);
This has been broken since day one, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

Move the responsibility for advancing the NOTIFY queue tail pointer
from the listener(s) to the notification sender, and only have the
sender do it once every few queue pages, rather than after every batch
of notifications as at present. This reduces the number of times we
execute asyncQueueAdvanceTail, and reduces contention when there are
multiple listeners (since that function requires exclusive lock).
This change relies on the observation that we don't really need the tail
pointer to be exactly up-to-date. It's certainly not necessary to
attempt to release disk space more often than once per SLRU segment.
The only other usage of the tail pointer is that an incoming listener,
if it's the only listener in its database, will need to scan the queue
forward from the tail; but that's surely a less performance-critical
path than routine sending and receiving of notifies. We compromise by
advancing the tail pointer after every 4 pages of output, so that it
shouldn't get more than a few pages behind.
Also, when sending signals to other backends after adding notify
message(s) to the queue, recognize that only backends in our own
database are going to care about those messages, so only such
backends really need to be awakened promptly. Backends in other
databases should get kicked if they're well behind on reading the
queue, else they'll hold back the global tail pointer; but wakening
them for every single message is pointless. This change can
substantially reduce signal traffic if listeners are spread among
many databases. It won't help for the common case of only a single
active database, but the extra check costs very little.

Since we introduced the idea of leakproof functions, texteq and textne
were marked leakproof but their sibling text comparison functions were
not. This inconsistency seemed justified because texteq/textne just
relied on memcmp() and so could easily be seen to be leakproof, while
the other comparison functions are far more complex and indeed can
throw input-dependent errors.
However, that argument crashed and burned with the addition of
nondeterministic collations, because now texteq/textne may invoke
the exact same varstr_cmp() infrastructure as the rest. It makes no
sense whatever to give them different leakproofness markings.
After a certain amount of angst we've concluded that it's all right
to consider varstr_cmp() to be leakproof, mostly because the other
choice would be disastrous for performance of many queries where
leakproofness matters. The input-dependent errors should only be
reachable for corrupt input data, or so we hope anyway; certainly,
if they are reachable in practice, we've got problems with requirements
as basic as maintaining a btree index on a text column.
Hence, run around to all the SQL functions that derive from varstr_cmp()
and mark them leakproof. This should result in a useful gain in
flexibility/performance for queries in which non-leakproofness degrades
the efficiency of the query plan.
Back-patch to v12 where nondeterministic collations were added.
While this isn't an essential bug fix given the determination
that varstr_cmp() is leakproof, we might as well apply it now that
we've been forced into a post-beta4 catversion bump.

text_pattern_ops and its siblings can't be used with nondeterministic
collations, because they use the text_eq operator which will not behave
as bitwise equality if applied with a nondeterministic collation. The
initial implementation of that restriction was to insert a run-time test
in the related comparison functions, but that is inefficient, may throw
misleading errors, and will throw errors in some cases that would work.
It seems sufficient to just prevent the combination during CREATE INDEX,
so do that instead.
Lacking any better way to identify the opclasses involved, we need to
hard-wire tests for them, which requires hand-assigned values for their
OIDs, which forces a catversion bump because they previously had OIDs
that would be assigned automatically. That's slightly annoying in the
v12 branch, but fortunately we're not at rc1 yet, so just do it.
Back-patch to v12 where nondeterministic collations were added.

Although the SQL/JSON tech report makes reference to ECMAScript which
allows both single- and double-quoted strings, all the rest of the
report speaks only of double-quoted string literals in jsonpaths.
That's more compatible with JSON itself; moreover single-quoted strings
are hard to use inside a jsonpath that is itself a single-quoted SQL
literal. So guess that the intent is to allow only double-quoted
literals, and remove lexer support for single-quoted literals.
It'll be less painful to add this again later if we're wrong, than to
remove a shipped feature.
Also, adjust the lexer so that unrecognized backslash sequences are
treated as just meaning the escaped character, not as errors. This
change has much better support in the standards, as JSON, JavaScript

happen.
