No members of the buildfarm are using this version of Visual Studio,
resulting in all the code cleaned up here as being mostly dead, and
VS2017 is the oldest version still supported.
More versions could be cut, but the gain would be minimal, while
removing only VS2013 has the advantage to remove from the core code all
the dependencies on the value defined by _MSC_VER, where compatibility
tweaks have accumulated across the years mostly around locales and
strtof(), so that's a nice isolated cleanup.
Note that this commit additionally allows a revert of 3154e16. The
versions of Visual Studio now supported range from 2015 to 2022.

This moves the list of available languages from nls.mk into a separate
file called po/LINGUAS. Advantages:
- It keeps the parts notionally managed by programmers (nls.mk)
separate from the parts notionally managed by translators (LINGUAS).
- It's the standard practice recommended by the Gettext manual
nowadays.
- The Meson build system also supports this layout (and of course
doesn't know anything about our custom nls.mk), so this would enable
sharing the list of languages between the two build systems.
(The MSVC build system currently finds all po files by globbing, so it
is not affected by this change.)

Previously, ECPG could only cope with variable declarations whose
type names either weren't any SQL keyword, or were at least partially
reserved. If you tried to use something in the unreserved_keyword
category, you got a syntax error.
This is pretty awful, not only because it says right on the tin that
those words are not reserved, but because the set of such keywords
tends to grow over time. Thus, an ECPG program that was just fine
last year could fail when recompiled with a newer SQL grammar.
We had to work around this recently when STRING became a keyword,
but it's time for an actual fix instead of a band-aid.
To fix, borrow a trick from C parsers and make the lexer's behavior
change when it sees a word that is known as a typedef. This is not
free of downsides: if you try to use such a name as a SQL keyword
in EXEC SQL later in the program, it won't be recognized as a SQL
keyword, leading to a syntax error there instead. So in a real
sense this is just trading one hazard for another. But there is an
important difference: with this, whether your ECPG program works
depends only on what typedef names and SQL commands are used in the
program text. If it compiles today it'll still compile next year,
even if more words have become SQL keywords.

Further to commit 92d70b77, let's drop the code we carry for the
following untested architectures: M68K, M88K, M32R, SuperH. We have no
idea if anything actually works there, and surely as vintage hardware

We could always consider re-adding SuperH based on evidence of usage and
build farm support, if someone shows up to provide it.
While here, SPARC is usually written in all caps.

This CPU architecture has been discontinued. We already removed HP-UX
support, we never supported Windows/Itanium, and the open source
operating systems that a vintage hardware owner might hope to run have
all either ended Itanium support or never fully released support (NetBSD
may eventually). The extra code we carry for this rare ISA is now

This commit bumps the runtime value of _WIN32_WINNT to be 0x0A00 for any
builds on Windows. Hence, this makes Windows 10 the minimal requirement
when running PostgreSQL under WIN32, be it for builds of Cygwin, MinGW
or Visual Studio.
The previous minimal runtime version was either Windows Vista when
building with at least Visual Studio 2015 or Windows XP for the rest.
Windows 10 is the most modern version supported by Microsoft, and per
discussion, as we don't have buildfarm members that run older versions
anymore, this is the minimal supported version that suits better for our
needs. This will actually make easier the development of some patches,
two being async I/O and large page handling by avoiding a lot of
compatibility gotchas, on platforms that have most likely few users
anyway.
It is possible to remove MIN_WINNT in win32.h and the macros
IsWindowsXXXOrGreater() that were used in the code at runtime to check
which version of Windows was getting used. The change in pg_locale.c
comes from Juan. Note that all my tests passed, and that the CI is
green. The buildfarm will quickly tell if this needs more adjustments.

Amendment to 84ad713cf85aeffee5dd39f62d49a1b9e34632da: Not all
prepared statements have a result descriptor. As currently coded,
this would crash when reading pg_prepared_statements. Make those
cases return null for result_types instead. Also add a test case for
it.
Attempting such an operation would already fail, but in various and
confusing ways. For example, while in recovery, some elog() messages
would be reported, but these should never be user-facing. This commit
restricts any write operations done on large objects in a read-only
context, so as the errors generated are more user-friendly. This is per
the discussion done with Tom Lane and Robert Haas.
Some regression tests are added to check the case of all the SQL
functions working on large objects (including an update of the test's
alternate output).

POSIX shm_open() can sleep for a long time and fail spuriously because
of contention on an internal lock file on Solaris (and presumably
illumos). Commit 389869af fixed the main problem with this, namely that
we could crash, but it's now clear that "posix" is not a good default.
Therefore, choose "sysv" at initdb time on Solaris and illumos. Other
choices are still available by editing the postgresql.conf file.
Back-patch only to 15, because contention is much less likely further
back, and it doesn't seem like a good idea to change this in released
branches. This should clear up the failures on build farm animal
margay.

Also, this commit disallows HEADER MATCH in COPY TO as there is no

This reverts commits 5753d4ee32 and fe60b67250 that modified HOT to
ignore BRIN indexes. The commit message for 5753d4ee32 claims that:
When determining whether an index update may be skipped by using
HOT, we can ignore attributes indexed only by BRIN indexes. There
are no index pointers to individual tuples in BRIN, and the page
range summary will be updated anyway as it relies on visibility
info.
This is partially incorrect - it's true BRIN indexes don't point to
individual tuples, so HOT chains are not an issue, but the visibitlity
info is not sufficient to keep the index up to date. This can easily
result in corrupted indexes, as demonstrated in the hackers thread.
This does not mean relaxing the HOT restrictions for BRIN is a lost
cause, but it needs to handle the two aspects (allowing HOT chains and
updating the page range summaries) as separate. But that requires a
major changes, and it's too late for that in the current dev cycle.
