Most of the MSVC Perl code uses forward slashes for file paths.  Make
the few places that use backslashes the same.  This also helps running
that code on non-Windows.

Previously, the Windows MSVC build generated pg_config.h from a
hard-coded pg_config.h.win32 with some ad hoc postprocessing.  The
pg_config.h.win32 file required manual maintenance and was as a result
frequently out of date.

Instead, have the MSVC build scripts emulate what configure and
config.status do: collect a list of defines and then create
pg_config.h from pg_config.h.in by changing the appropriate lines.

The previous setup was made to support old Windows build systems that
didn't have any text processing capabilities, but the current system
has Perl, so it's not a problem.  pg_config.h.win32 is removed.

In order to try to keep the Windows side of things more up to date in
the future, we now also require that all symbols found in
pg_config.h.in are defined in the MSVC build system.  So if there is a
change in configure that results in a new symbol, an update in
Solution.pm will be required.

The other headers managed by AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure, namely
src/include/pg_config_ext.h and
src/interfaces/ecpg/include/ecpg_config.h, get the same treatment, so
this removes even more ad hoc code in the MSVC build scripts.

Currently postgres_fdw doesn't permit a non-superuser to connect to a
foreign server without specifying a password, or to use an
authentication mechanism that doesn't use the password. This is to avoid
using the settings and identity of the user running Postgres.

However, this doesn't make sense for all authentication methods. We
therefore allow a superuser to set "password_required 'false'" for user
mappings for the postgres_fdw. The superuser must ensure that the
foreign server won't try to rely solely on the server identity (e.g.
trust, peer, ident) or use an authentication mechanism that relies on the
password settings (e.g. md5, scram-sha-256).

This feature is a prelude to better support for sslcert and sslkey
settings in user mappings.

A new function EmitProcSignalBarrier() can be used to emit a global
barrier which all backends that participate in the ProcSignal
mechanism must absorb, and a new function WaitForProcSignalBarrier()
can be used to wait until all relevant backends have in fact
absorbed the barrier.

This can be used to coordinate global state changes, such as turning
checksums on while the system is running.

There's no real client of this mechanism yet, although two are
proposed, but an enum has to have at least one element, so this
includes a placeholder type (PROCSIGNAL_BARRIER_PLACEHOLDER) which
should be replaced by the first real client of this mechanism to

The REDO routine for nbtree's xl_btree_vacuum record type hasn't
performed a "pin scan" since commit 3e4b7d87 went in, so clearly there
isn't any point in VACUUM WAL-logging information that won't actually be
used.  Finish off the work of commit 3e4b7d87 (and the closely related
preceding commit 687f2cd7) by removing the code that generates this
unused information.  Also remove the REDO routine code disabled by
commit 3e4b7d87.

Replace the unneeded lastBlockVacuumed field in xl_btree_vacuum with a
new "ndeleted" field.  The new field isn't actually needed right now,
since we could continue to infer the array length from the overall
record length.  However, an upcoming patch to add deduplication to
nbtree needs to add an "items updated" field to xl_btree_vacuum, so we
might as well start being explicit about the number of items now.
(Besides, it doesn't seem like a good idea to leave the xl_btree_vacuum
struct without any fields; the C standard says that that's undefined.)

nbtree VACUUM no longer forces writing a WAL record for the last block
in the index.  Writing out a WAL record with no items for the final
block was supposed to force processing of a lastBlockVacuumed field by a
pin scan.

Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC because xl_btree_vacuum changed.

Commit d986d4e8 renamed a variable
but neglected to update the corresponding comment.

Amit Langote

The previous coding imagined that it could call before_shmem_exit()
when a non-exclusive backup began and then remove the previously-added
handler by calling cancel_before_shmem_exit() when that backup
ended. However, this only works provided that nothing else in the
system has registered a before_shmem_exit() hook in the interim,
because cancel_before_shmem_exit() is documented to remove a callback
only if it is the latest callback registered. It also only works
if nothing can ERROR out between the time that sessionBackupState
is reset and the time that cancel_before_shmem_exit(), which doesn't
seem to be strictly true.

To fix, leave the handler installed for the lifetime of the session,
arrange to install it just once, and teach it to quietly do nothing if
there isn't a non-exclusive backup in process.

This is a bug, but for now I'm not going to back-patch, because the
consequences are minor. It's possible to cause a spurious warning
to be generated, but that doesn't really matter. It's also possible
to trigger an assertion failure, but production builds shouldn't
have assertions enabled.

Commit 7dbfea3c thought it could get
away with removing this, but Thomas Munro reports, on behalf of the
buildfarm, that it's still needed at least on Windows to avoid
compiler warnings.

The new function, heap_fetch_toast_slice, is shared between
toast_fetch_datum_slice and toast_fetch_datum, and does all the
work of scanning the TOAST table, fetching chunks, and storing
them into the space allocated for the result varlena.

As an incidental side effect, this allows toast_fetch_datum_slice
to perform the scan with only a single scankey if all chunks are
being fetched, which might have some tiny performance benefit.

Tuple conversion support in tupconvert.c is able to convert rowtypes
between two relations, inner and outer, which are logically equivalent
but have a different ordering or even dropped columns (used mainly for
inheritance tree and partitions).  This makes use of attribute mappings,
which are simple arrays made of AttrNumber elements with a length
matching the number of attributes of the outer relation.  The length of
the attribute mapping has been treated as completely independent of the
mapping itself until now, making it easy to pass down an incorrect
mapping length.

This commit refactors the code related to attribute mappings and moves
it into an independent facility called attmap.c, extracted from
tupconvert.c.  This merges the attribute mapping with its length,
avoiding to try to guess what is the length of a mapping to use as this
is computed once, when the map is built.

This will avoid mistakes like what has been fixed in dc816e58, which has
used an incorrect mapping length by matching it with the number of
attributes of an inner relation (a child partition) instead of an outer
relation (a partitioned table).

If CheckAttributeType() threw an error about the datatype of an
index expression column, it would report an empty column name,
which is pretty unhelpful and certainly not the intended behavior.
I (tgl) evidently broke this in commit cfc5008a, by not noticing
that the column's attname was used above where I'd placed the
assignment of it.

In HEAD and v12, this is trivially fixable by moving up the
assignment of attname.  Before v12 the code is a bit more messy;
to avoid doing substantial refactoring, I took the lazy way out
and just put in two copies of the assignment code.

Commit d5406dea used a slightly
novel, and wrong, approach to compute the length of the last
toast chunk. It worked fine unless the last chunk happened to
have the largest possible size.

Rework some of the checks for bad TOAST chunks to be a bit simpler
and easier to understand. These checks verify that (1) we get all
and only the chunk numbers we expect to see and (2) each chunk has
the expected size. However, the existing code was a bit hard to
understand, at least for me; try to make it clearer.

As part of that, have toast_fetch_datum_slice check the relationship
between endchunk and totalchunks only with an Assert() rather than
checking every chunk number against both values. There's no need to
check that relationship in production builds because it's not a
function of whether on-disk corruption is present; it's just a
question of whether the code does the right math.

Also, have toast_fetch_datum_slice() use ereport(ERROR) rather than
elog(ERROR). Commit fd6ec93b made
the two functions inconsistent with each other.

Rename assorted variables for better clarity and consistency, and
move assorted variables from function scope to the function's main
loop. Remove a few variables that are used only once entirely.

This Assert thought that an overflowed transaction can never get registered
for the group update.  But that is not true, because even when the number
of children for a transaction got reduced, the overflow flag is not
changed.  And, for group update, we only care about the current number of
children for a transaction that is being committed.

Rename two function-style macros, removing the word "inner".  This makes
things more consistent.

The refactoring done in a4fd3aa7 for query cancellation has messed up
with the logic in psql by mixing CancelRequested and cancel_pressed,
breaking for example \watch.  The former would be switched to true if a
cancellation request has been attempted and that it actually succeeded,
and the latter tracks if a cancellation attempt has been done.

This commit brings back the code of psql to a state consistent to what
it was before a4fd3aa7, without giving up on the refactoring pieces
introduced.  It should be actually possible to merge more both flags as
their concepts are close enough, however note that psql's --single-step
mode relies on cancel_pressed to be always set, so this requires more
careful analysis left for later.

While on it, fix the declarations of CancelRequested (in cancel.c) and
cancel_pressed (in psql) to be volatile sig_atomic_t.  Previously,
both were declared as booleans, which should be fine on modern
platforms, but the C standard recommends the use of sig_atomic_t for
variables used in signal handlers.  Note that since its introduction in
a1792320, CancelRequested declaration was not volatile.

Attempting to open a file fails with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED if the file
is flagged for deletion but not yet actually gone (another in a long
list of reasons why Windows is broken, if you ask me).  This seems
likely to explain a lot of irreproducible failures we see in the
buildfarm.  This state generally persists for only a millisecond or so,
so just wait a bit and retry.  If it's a real permissions problem,
we'll eventually give up and report it as such.  If it's the pending
deletion case, we'll see file-not-found and report that after the
deletion completes, and the caller will treat that in an appropriate
way.

In passing, rejigger the existing retry logic for some other error
cases so that we don't uselessly wait an extra time when we're
not going to retry anymore.
