LWLocks during a panic exit.  This avoids the possible self-deadlock pointed
out by Qingqing Zhou.  Also, I noted that an error during LoadFreeSpaceMap()
or BuildFlatFiles() would result in exit(0) which would leave the postmaster
thinking all is well.  Added a critical section to ensure such errors don't
allow startup to proceed.

Backpatched to 8.1.  The 8.0 code is a bit different and I'm not sure if the
problem exists there; given we've not seen this reported from the field, I'm
going to be conservative about backpatching any further.

it is just the total time to do INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), and not any of
the other code involved in InstrStartNode/InstrStopNode.  Even though I
fear we may end up reverting this patch altogether, we may as well have
the most correct version in our CVS archive.

choose_bitmap_and().  It was way too fuzzy --- per comment, it was meant to be
1% relative difference, but was actually coded as 0.01 absolute difference,
thus causing selectivities of say 0.001 and 0.000000000001 to be treated as
equal.  I believe this thinko explains Maxim Boguk's recent complaint.  While
we could change it to a relative test coded like compare_fuzzy_path_costs(),
there's a bigger problem here, which is that any fuzziness at all renders the
comparison function non-transitive, which could confuse qsort() to the point
of delivering completely wrong results.  So forget the whole thing and just
do an exact comparison.

that the Mackert-Lohmann formula applies across all the repetitions of the
nestloop, not just each scan independently.  We use the M-L formula to
estimate the number of pages fetched from the index as well as from the table;
that isn't what it was designed for, but it seems reasonably applicable
anyway.  This makes large numbers of repetitions look much cheaper than
before, which accords with many reports we've received of overestimation
of the cost of a nestloop.  Also, change the index access cost model to
charge random_page_cost per index leaf page touched, while explicitly
not counting anything for access to metapage or upper tree pages.  This
may all need tweaking after we get some field experience, but in simple
tests it seems to be giving saner results than before.  The main thing
is to get the infrastructure in place to let cost_index() and amcostestimate
functions take repeated scans into account at all.  Per my recent proposal.

Note: this patch changes pg_proc.h, but I did not force initdb because
the changes are basically cosmetic --- the system does not look into
pg_proc to decide how to call an index amcostestimate function, and
there's no way to call such a function from SQL at all.

Synced parser.

Per my proposal a few days ago.

cost_nonsequential_access() is really totally inappropriate for its only
remaining use, namely estimating I/O costs in cost_sort().  The routine
was designed on the assumption that disk caching might eliminate the need
for some re-reads on a random basis, but there's nothing very random in
that sense about sort's access pattern --- it'll always be picking up the
oldest outputs.  If we had a good fix on the effective cache size we
might consider charging zero for I/O unless the sort temp file size
exceeds it, but that's probably putting much too much faith in the
parameter.  Instead just drop the logic in favor of a fixed compromise
between seq_page_cost and random_page_cost per page of sort I/O.
