This prevents pg_basebackup from generating excessive output when
dumping large clusters. The status is now updated once / second,
still making it possible to see that there is progress happening,
but limiting the total bandwidth.

When using verbose mode for pg_basebackup, in tar format sent to
stdout, we'd print an unitialized buffer as the filename.

Improve pg_dump by checking results on various fgetc() calls which
previously were unchecked, ditto for ftello.  Also clean up a couple
of very minor memory leaks by waiting to allocate structures until
after the initial check(s).

The shimTriConstistentFn, which calls the opclass's consistent function with
all combinations of TRUE/FALSE for any MAYBE argument, modifies the entryRes
array passed by the caller. Change startScanKey to re-initialize it between
each call to accommodate that.

It's actually a bad habit by shimTriConsistentFn to modify its argument. But
the only caller that doesn't already re-initialize the entryRes array was
startScanKey, and it's easy for startScanKey to do so. Add a comment to
shimTriConsistentFn about that.

Note: this does not give a free pass to opclass-provided consistent
functions to modify the entryRes argument; shimTriConsistent assumes that
they don't, even though it does it itself.

While at it, refactor startScanKey to allocate the requiredEntries and
additionalEntries after it knows exactly how large they need to be. Saves a
little bit of memory, and looks nicer anyway.

Per complaint by Tom Lane, buildfarm and the pg_trgm regression test.

If you have a GIN query like "rare & frequent", we currently fetch all the
items that match either rare or frequent, call the consistent function for
each item, and let the consistent function filter out items that only match
one of the terms. However, if we can deduce that "rare" must be present for
the overall qual to be true, we can scan all the rare items, and for each
rare item, skip over to the next frequent item with the same or greater TID.
That greatly speeds up "rare & frequent" type queries.

To implement that, introduce the concept of a tri-state consistent function,
where the 3rd value is MAYBE, indicating that we don't know if that term is
present. Operator classes only provide a boolean consistent function, so we
simulate the tri-state consistent function by calling the boolean function
several times, with the MAYBE arguments set to all combinations of TRUE and
FALSE. Testing all combinations is only feasible for a small number of MAYBE
arguments, but it is envisioned that we'll provide a way for operator
classes to provide a native tri-state consistent function, which can be much
more efficient. But that is not included in this patch.

We were already using that trick to for lossy pages, calling the consistent
function with the lossy entry set to TRUE and FALSE. Now that we have the
tri-state consistent function, use it for lossy pages too.

We may process relcache flush requests during transaction startup or
shutdown.  In general it's not terribly safe to do catalog access at those
times, so the code's habit of trying to immediately revalidate unflushable
relcache entries is risky.  Although there are no field trouble reports
that are positively traceable to this, we have been able to demonstrate
failure of the assertions recently added in RelationIdGetRelation() and
SearchCatCache().  On the other hand, it seems safe to just postpone
revalidation of the cache entry until we're inside a valid transaction.
The one case where this is questionable is where we're exiting a
subtransaction and the outer transaction is holding the relcache entry open
--- but if we made any significant changes to the rel inside such a
subtransaction, we've got problems anyway.  There are mechanisms in place
to prevent that (to wit, locks for cross-session cases and
CheckTableNotInUse() for intra-session cases), so let's trust to those
mechanisms to keep us out of trouble.

Commit 42c80c69 added an
Assert(IsTransactionState()) in SearchCatCache(), to catch
any code that thought it could do a catcache lookup outside
transactions.  Extend the same idea to relcache lookups.

Indenting the XHTML output can lead to incorrect rendering.  This only
affects the build via XSLT.

These flushes were added in my commit d2896a9e, which added the btree
logic that keeps a cached copy of the index metapage data in index relcache
entries.  The idea was to ensure that other backends would promptly update
their cached copies after a change.  However, this is not really necessary,
since _bt_getroot() has adequate defenses against believing a stale root
page link, and _bt_getrootheight() doesn't have to be 100% right.
Moreover, if it were necessary, a relcache flush would be an unreliable way
to do it, since the sinval mechanism believes that relcache flush requests
represent transactional updates, and therefore discards them on transaction
rollback.  Therefore, we might as well drop these flush requests and save
the time to rebuild the whole relcache entry after a metapage change.

If we ever try to support in-place truncation of btree indexes, it might
be necessary to revisit this issue so that _bt_getroot() can't get caught
by trying to follow a metapage link to a page that no longer exists.
A possible solution to that is to make use of an smgr, rather than
relcache, inval request to force other backends to discard their cached
metapages.  But for the moment this is not worth pursuing.

Fix a thinko pointed out by Jeff Davis, and convert a couple of other
references into links.

The code was assigning a (Datum) 0 to a void pointer.  That creates a
warning from clang 3.4.  It was probably a thinko to begin with.

postgres_fdw tended to say "unknown error" if it tried to execute a command
on an already-dead connection, because some paths in libpq just return a
null PGresult for such cases.  Out-of-memory might result in that, too.
To fix, pass the PGconn to pgfdw_report_error, and look at its
PQerrorMessage() string if we can't get anything out of the PGresult.

Also, fix the transaction-exit logic to reliably drop a dead connection.
It was attempting to do that already, but it assumed that only connection
cache entries with xact_depth > 0 needed to be examined.  The folly in that
is that if we fail while issuing START TRANSACTION, we'll not have bumped
xact_depth.  (At least for the case I was testing, this fix masks the
other problem; but it still seems like a good idea to have the PGconn
fallback logic.)

Per investigation of bug #9087 from Craig Lucas.  Backpatch to 9.3 where
this code was introduced.

Report from Andres Freund.

Otherwise, the standalone regress_README build gets unhappy.

Commit a5ff502f was a brick shy of a load
in the backend lexer too, not just psql.  Per further testing of bug #9068.

In passing, improve related comments.

Given a composite-type parameter named x, "$1.*" worked fine, but "x.*"
not so much.  This has been broken since named parameter references were
added in commit 9bff0780, so patch back
to 9.2.  Per bug #9085 from Hardy Falk.

Otherwise, pg_sleep_until does the wrong thing in a multi-statement
transaction.

The temporary statistics files don't need to be included in the backup
because they are always reset at the beginning of the archive recovery.
This patch changes pg_basebackup so that it skips all files located in
$PGDATA/pg_stat_tmp or the directory specified by stats_temp_directory
parameter.

Oversight in commit f7559c01, which changed
UESCAPE lexing in psql.  Per bug #9068 from Manuel Gómez.

Remove unused copy-and-pasted macro definitions, and improve formatting
of recently-added productions.

I got interested in this because buildfarm member protosciurus has been
crashing in "bison repl_gram.y" since commit 858ec118.  It's a long shot
that this will fix that, though maybe the missing trailing semicolon
has something to do with it?  In any case, there's no need to approve
of dead code, nor of code whose formatting isn't even self-consistent
let alone consistent with what's around it.

In p_isdigit and other character class test functions generated by the
p_iswhat macro, the code path for non-C locales with multibyte encodings
contained a bogus pointer cast that would accidentally fail to malfunction
if types wchar_t and wint_t have the same width.  Apparently that is true
on most platforms, but not on recent Cygwin releases.  Remove the cast,
as it seems completely unnecessary (I think it arose from a false analogy
to the need to cast to unsigned char when dealing with the <ctype.h>
functions).  Per bug #8970 from Marco Atzeri.

In the same functions, the code path for C locale with a multibyte encoding
simply ANDed each wide character with 0xFF before passing it to the
corresponding <ctype.h> function.  This could result in false positive
answers for some non-ASCII characters, so use a range test instead.
Noted by me while investigating Marco's complaint.

Also, remove some useless though not actually buggy maskings and casts
in the hand-coded p_isalnum and p_isalpha functions, which evidently
got tested a bit more carefully than the macro-generated functions.

WalSndKill was doing things exactly backwards: it should first clear
MyWalSnd (to stop signal handlers from touching MyWalSnd->latch),
then disown the latch, and only then mark the WalSnd struct unused by
clearing its pid field.

Also, WalRcvSigUsr1Handler and worker_spi_sighup failed to preserve
errno, which is surely a requirement for any signal handler.

Per discussion of recent buildfarm failures.  Back-patch as far
as the relevant code exists.

The preferred method is to use "cc -shared", and this allows binaries
to be rebased if required, unlike dllwrap.

Backpatch to 9.0 where we have buildfarm coverage.

There are still some issues with Cygwin, especially modern Cygwin, but
this helps us get closer to good support.

Marco Atzeri.

This has long been done by the MSVC build system, and has caused
confusion in the past when programs like psql have failed to start
because they can't find the DLL. If it's in the same directory as it now
will be they will find it.

Backpatch to all live branches.

Previously an input array string that started with a single-element
array dimension would then later accept a multi-dimensional segment.

BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY

Replication slots are a crash-safe data structure which can be created
on either a master or a standby to prevent premature removal of
write-ahead log segments needed by a standby, as well as (with
hot_standby_feedback=on) pruning of tuples whose removal would cause
replication conflicts.  Slots have some advantages over existing
techniques, as explained in the documentation.

In a few places, we refer to the type of replication slots introduced
by this patch as "physical" slots, because forthcoming patches for
logical decoding will also have slots, but with somewhat different
properties.

per report from Josh Kupershmidt

Evidence from buildfarm member crake suggests that the new test_shm_mq
module is routinely crashing the server due to the arrival of a SIGUSR1
after the shared memory segment has been unmapped.  Although processes
using the new dynamic background worker facilities are more likely to
receive a SIGUSR1 around this time, the problem is also possible on older
branches, so I'm back-patching the parts of this change that apply to
older branches as far as they apply.

It's already generally the case that code checks whether these pointers
are NULL before deferencing them, so the important thing is mostly to
make sure that they do get set to NULL before they become invalid.  But
in master, there's one case in procsignal_sigusr1_handler that lacks a
NULL guard, so add that.
