The previous wording suggested only Slony, and there are more options
available.

It might be impossible for this to cause a problem in non-debug builds,
since there'd be no opportunity for the relcache entry to get recycled
before the fetch.  It blows up nicely with -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE plus
valgrind, though.

Evidently introduced by careless refactoring in commit f0e44751.
Back-patch accordingly.

Calling an external function while a pin-lock is held is a bad idea as
those are designed to be short-lived.  The stress of a first commit into
a large git history may contribute to that.

We don't need two passes if we scan child partitions before parents,
as that way the children's present_parts are up to date before they're
needed.  I (tgl) think there's actually a bug being fixed here, for the
case of an intermediate partitioned table with no direct leaf children,
but haven't attempted to construct a test case to prove it.

Makes it look more similar to other ones, and avoids the need for
pluralization.

Starting with commit f0e44751, ExecConstraints was in charge of
running the partition constraint; commit 19c47e7c modified that so
that caller could request to skip that checking depending on some
conditions, but that commit and 15ce775f together introduced a small
bug there which caused ExecInsert to request skipping the constraint
check but have this not be honored -- in effect doing the check twice.
This could have been fixed in a very small patch, but on further
analysis of the involved function and its callsites, it turns out to be
simpler to give the responsibility of checking the partition constraint
fully to the caller, and return ExecConstraints to its original
(pre-partitioning) shape where it only checked tuple descriptor-related
constraints.  Each caller must do partition constraint checking on its
own schedule, which is more convenient after commit 2f178441 anyway.

Also add a function that centralizes the logic for locating all our perl
files and use it in pgperlcritic and pgperltidy as well as the new
pgperlcheck.

The previous coding just ignored pruning constraints that compare a
partition key to a null-valued expression.  This is silly, since really
what we can do there is conclude that all partitions are rejected: the
pruning operator is known strict so the comparison must always fail.

This also fixes the logic to not ignore constisnull for a Const comparison
value.  That's probably an unreachable case, since the planner would
normally have simplified away a strict operator with a constant-null input.
But this code has no business assuming that.

A review of the code has showed up a couple of issues fixed by this
commit:
- Physical slots have been using the confirmed LSN position as a start
comparison point which is always 0/0, instead use the restart LSN
position (logical slots need to use the confirmed LSN position, which
was correct).
- The actual slot update was incorrect for both physical and logical
slots.  Physical slots need to use their restart_lsn as base comparison
point (confirmed_flush was used because of previous point), and logical
slots need to begin reading WAL from restart_lsn (confirmed_flush was
used as well), while confirmed_flush is compiled depending on the
decoding context and record read, and is the LSN position returned back
to the caller.
- Never return 0/0 if a slot cannot be advanced.  This way, if a slot is
advanced while the activity is idle, then the same position is returned
to the caller over and over without raising an error.  Instead return
the LSN the slot has been advanced to.  With repetitive calls, the same
position is returned hence caller can directly monitor the difference in
progress in bytes by doing simply LSN difference calculations, which
should be monotonic.

Note that as the slot is owned by the backend advancing it, then the
read of those fields is fine lock-less, while updates need to happen
while the slot mutex is held, so fix that on the way as well.  Other
locks for in-memory data of replication slots have been already fixed
previously.

Some of those issues have been pointed out by Petr and Simon during the
patch, while I noticed some of them after looking at the code.  This
also visibly takes of a recently-discovered bug causing assertion
failures which can be triggered by a two-step slot forwarding which
first advanced the slot to a WAL page boundary and secondly advanced it
to the latest position, say 'FF/FFFFFFF' to make sure that the newest
LSN is used as forward point.  It would have been nice to drop a test
for that, but the set of operators working on pg_lsn limits it, so this
is left for a future exercise.

These struct definitions were originally dropped into primnodes.h,
which is a poor choice since that's mainly intended for primitive
expression node types; these are not in that category.  What they
are is auxiliary info in Plan trees, so move them to plannodes.h.

For consistency, also relocate some related code that was apparently
placed with the aid of a dartboard.

There's no interesting code changes in this commit, just reshuffling.

The initial coding of the run-time-pruning feature only coped with cases
where the partition key(s) are compared to Params.  That is a bit silly;
we can allow it to work with any non-Var-containing stable expression, as
long as we take special care with expressions containing PARAM_EXEC Params.
The code is hardly any longer this way, and it's considerably clearer
(IMO at least).  Per gripe from Pavel Stehule.

While debugging issues on HEAD for the new slot forwarding feature of
Postgres 11, some monitoring of the code surrounding in-memory slot data
has proved that the lock handling may cause inconsistent data to be read
by read-only callers of slot functions, particularly
pg_get_replication_slots() which fetches data for the system view
pg_replication_slots, or modules looking directly at slot information.

The code paths involved in those problems concern logical decoding
initialization (down to 9.4) and WAL reservation for slots (new as of
10).

A set of comments documenting all the lock handlings, particularly the
dependency with LW locks for slots and the in_use flag as well as the
internal mutex lock is added, based on a suggested by Simon Riggs.

Some of the fixed code exists down to 9.4 where WAL decoding has been
introduced, but as those race conditions are really unlikely going to
happen as those concern code paths for slot and decoding creation, just
fix the problem on HEAD.

Make sure that we don't exceed MaxAllocSize when increasing the number of
buckets.  Perhaps later we'll remove that limit and use DSA_ALLOC_HUGE, but
for now just prevent further increases like the non-parallel code.  This

It's listed in --help, so it should be listed in the man page as well.

GetRunningTransactionData() should ignore VACUUM procs because in some
cases they are assigned xids. This could lead to holding back xmin via
the route of passing the xid to standby and then having that hold back
xmin on master via feedback.

This covers new fields in two outfuncs.c functions having no readfuncs.c
counterpart.  Thus, this changes only debugging output.

This patch does two things. First, it silences a number of compile-time
warnings in the msvc tools files, mainly those due to the fact that in
some cases we have more than one package per file. Second it supplies a
dummy Perl library with just enough of the Windows API referred to in
our code to let it run these checks cleanly, even on Unix machines where
the code is never supposed to run. The dummy library should only be used
for that purpose, as its README notes.

Use palloc0() instead of palloc() to create a new JsonbIterator.
Otherwise, the isScalar field is sometimes not initialized.  There is
probably no impact in practice, but it's cleaner this way and it avoids
future problems.

Commit 3a7cc727 was a little over eager about adding an explicit return
to this function, whose value is checked in most call sites. This change
reverses that and returns the expected value explicitly. It also adds a
check to the one call site lacking one.
