This is a continuation of work like 11c34b342bd7, done to reduce the bloat of pg_stat_statements by applying more normalization to query entries. This commit is able to detect and normalize values in VariableSetStmt, resulting in: SET conf_param = $1 Compared to other parse nodes, VariableSetStmt is embedded in much more places in the parser, impacting many query patterns in pg_stat_statements. A custom jumble function is used, with an extra field in the node to decide if arguments should be included in the jumbling or not, a location field being not enough for this purpose. This approach allows for a finer tuning. Clauses relying on one or more keywords are not normalized, for example: * DEFAULT * FROM CURRENT * List of keywords. SET SESSION CHARACTERISTICS AS TRANSACTION, where it is critical to differentiate different sets of options, is a good example of why normalization should not happen. Some queries use VariableSetStmt for some subclauses with SET, that also have their values normalized: - ALTER DATABASE - ALTER ROLE - ALTER SYSTEM - CREATE/ALTER FUNCTION ba90eac7a995 has added test coverage for most of the existing SET patterns. The expected output of these tests shows the difference this commit creates. Normalization could be perhaps applied to more portions of the grammar but what is done here is conservative, and good enough as a starting point.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
