This is a second try at what commit 57431a911 tried to do, namely, launch the syslogger before we open postmaster sockets so that our messages about the sockets end up in the syslogger files. That commit fell foul of a bunch of subtle issues caused by trying to launch a postmaster child process before creating shared memory. Rather than messing with that interaction, let's postpone opening the sockets till after we launch the syslogger. This would not have been terribly safe before commit 7de19fbc0, because we relied on socket opening to detect whether any competing postmasters were using the same port number. But now that we choose IPC keys without regard to the port number, there's no interaction to worry about. Also delay creation of the external PID file (if requested) till after the sockets are open, since external code could plausibly be relying on that ordering of events. And postpone most of the work of RemovePgTempFiles() so that that potentially-slow processing still happens after we make the external PID file. We have to be a bit careful about that last though: as noted in the discussion subsequent to bug #15804, EXEC_BACKEND builds still have to clear the parameter-file temp dir before launching the syslogger. Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review/testing. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15804-3721117bf40fb654@postgresql.org

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
