    Have BufFileSize() ereport() on FileSize() failure. · 1a990b20
    Peter Geoghegan authored
    Move the responsibility for checking for and reporting a failure from
    the only current BufFileSize() caller, logtape.c, to BufFileSize()
    itself.  Code within buffile.c is generally responsible for interfacing
    with fd.c to report irrecoverable failures.  This seems like a
    convention that's worth sticking to.
    
    Reorganizing things this way makes it easy to make the error message
    raised in the event of BufFileSize() failure descriptive of the
    underlying problem.  We're now clear on the distinction between
    temporary file name and BufFile name, and can show errno, confident that
    its value actually relates to the error being reported.  In passing, an
    existing, similar buffile.c ereport() + errcode_for_file_access() site
    is changed to follow the same conventions.
    
    The API of the function BufFileSize() is changed by this commit, despite
    already being in a stable release (Postgres 11).  This seems acceptable,
    since the BufFileSize() ABI was changed by commit aa551830, which
    hasn't made it into a point release yet.  Besides, it's difficult to
    imagine a third party BufFileSize() caller not just raising an error
    anyway, since BufFile state should be considered corrupt when
    BufFileSize() fails.
    
    Per complaint from Tom Lane.
