Removing the unused 'miinfo' parameter has been raised a couple of times
now.  It was decided in the 2nd discussion below that we're going to leave
it alone.  It seems like it might be useful to add a comment to mention
this fact so that nobody wastes any time in the future proposing its
removal again.

An ALTER TABLE to validate a foreign key in which another subcommand
already caused a pending table rewrite could fail due to ALTER TABLE
attempting to validate the foreign key before the actual table rewrite
takes place.  This situation could result in an error such as:

ERROR:  could not read block 0 in file "base/nnnnn/nnnnn": read only 0 of 8192 bytes

The failure here was due to the SPI call which validates the foreign key
trying to access an index which is yet to be rebuilt.

Similarly, we also incorrectly tried to validate CHECK constraints before
the heap had been rewritten.

The fix for both is to delay constraint validation until phase 3, after
the table has been rewritten.  For CHECK constraints this means a slight
behavioral change.  Previously ALTER TABLE VALIDATE CONSTRAINT on
inheritance tables would be validated from the bottom up.  This was
different from the order of evaluation when a new CHECK constraint was
added.  The changes made here aligns the VALIDATE CONSTRAINT evaluation
order for inheritance tables to be the same as ADD CONSTRAINT, which is
generally top-down.

The qual pushdown logic assumed that all Vars in a restriction clause
must be Vars referencing subquery outputs; but since we introduced
LATERAL, it's possible for such a Var to be a lateral reference instead.
This led to an assertion failure in debug builds.  In a non-debug
build, there might be no ill effects (if qual_is_pushdown_safe decided
the qual was unsafe anyway), or we could get failures later due to
construction of an invalid plan.  I've not gone to much length to
characterize the possible failures, but at least segfaults in the
executor have been observed.

Given that this has been busted since 9.3 and it took this long for
anybody to notice, I judge that the case isn't worth going to great
lengths to optimize.  Hence, fix by just teaching qual_is_pushdown_safe
that such quals are unsafe to push down, matching the previous behavior
when it accidentally didn't fail.

Switching the regression tests to use tstzrange() has proved to not be a
good idea for environments where the timestamp precision is low, as
internal range checks exclude the upper bound.  So, if the commit
timestamp of a transaction matched with now() from the next query,
the test would fail.  This changes to use two bound checks instead of
the range function, where the upper bound is inclusive.

This includes two changes:
- Addition of a new function pg_xact_commit_timestamp_origin() able, for
a given transaction ID, to return the commit timestamp and replication
origin of this transaction.  An equivalent function existed in
pglogical.
- Addition of the replication origin to pg_last_committed_xact().

The commit timestamp manager includes already APIs able to return the
replication origin of a transaction on top of its commit timestamp, but
the code paths for replication origins were never stressed as those
functions have never looked for a replication origin, and the SQL
functions available have never included this information since their
introduction in 73c986ad.

While on it, refactor a test of modules/commit_ts/ to use tstzrange() to
check that a transaction timestamp is within the wanted range, making
the test a bit easier to read.

Parallel pg_restore has always supposed that ACL items for different
objects are independent and can be restored in parallel without
conflicts.  However, there is one case where this fails: because
REVOKE on a table is defined to also revoke the privilege(s) at
column level, we can't restore per-column ACLs till after we restore
any table-level privileges on their table.  Failure to honor this
restriction can lead to "tuple concurrently updated" errors during
parallel restore, or even to the per-column ACLs silently disappearing
because the table-level REVOKE is executed afterwards.

To fix, add a dependency from each column-level ACL item to its table's
ACL item, if there is one.  Note that this doesn't fix the hazard
for pre-existing archive files, only for ones made with a corrected
pg_dump.  Given that the bug's been there quite awhile without
field reports, I think this is acceptable.

This requires changing the API of pg_dump's dumpACL() function.
To keep its argument list from getting even longer, I removed the
"CatalogId objCatId" argument, which has been unused for ages.

"relkind" normally refers to the char field from pg_class.  However, in
the parse nodes AlterTableStmt and CreateTableAsStmt, "relkind" was used
for a field of type enum ObjectType, that could refer to other object
types than those possible for a relkind.  Such fields being usually
named "objtype", switch the name in both structures to make things more
consistent.  Note that this led to some confusion in functions that
also operate on a RangeTableEntry object, which also has a field named
"relkind".

This naming goes back to commit 09d4e96d, where only OBJECT_TABLE and
OBJECT_INDEX were used.  This got extended later to use as well
OBJECT_TYPE with e440e12c, not really a relation kind.

This reverts commit 2b2a070d, that moved the reset of path
"testtablespace" used by the regression tests as a path for tablespaces
(via --outputdir) from pg_regress to the MSVC script vcregress.pl, as
this broke the behavior added by ce5d3424 to be able to safely run the
regression test suite with an administrative Windows account using a

Note that before 2b2a070d, the code doing the reset in pg_regress.c
included a comment telling that we had better move that out to a
different place, leading to the mistake done in 2b2a070d.  Fix this

The previous approach was to search-and-destroy all \r occurrences
no matter what.  That seems more likely to hide bugs than anything
else; indeed it seems to be hiding one now.  Fix things so that
we only transform \r\n to \n.

Side effects: must do this before, not after, chomp'ing if we're
going to chomp, else we'd fail to clean up a trailing \r\n.  Also,
remove safe_psql's redundant repetition of what psql already did;
else it might reduce \r\r\n to \n, which is exactly the scenario
I'm hoping to expose.
