TransactionTreeSetCommitTsData() with the argument write_xlog=true,

This should not be acceptable because it's during recovery.

This commit fixes the WAL replay of COMMIT_TS_SETTS record

Previously when an archive recovery or a standby was starting and
reached the consistent recovery state but hot_standby was configured
to off, the error message when a client connectted was "the database
system is starting up", which was needless confusing and not really
all that accurate either.

This commit improves the connection denied error message during
recovery, as follows, so that the users immediately know that their
servers are configured to deny those connections.

- If hot_standby is disabled, the error message "the database system
  is not accepting connections" and the detail message "Hot standby
  mode is disabled." are output when clients connect while an archive
  recovery or a standby is running.

- If hot_standby is enabled, the error message "the database system
  is not yet accepting connections" and the detail message
  "Consistent recovery state has not been yet reached." are output
  when clients connect until the consistent recovery state is reached
  and postmaster starts accepting read only connections.

This commit doesn't change the connection denied error message of
"the database system is starting up" during normal server startup and
crash recovery. Because it's still suitable for those situations.

Common recommendations are that the checkpoint should be spread out as
much as possible, provided we avoid having it take too long.  This
change updates the default to 0.9 (from 0.5) to match that
recommendation.

There was some debate about possibly removing the option entirely but it
seems there may be some corner-cases where having it set much lower to
try to force the checkpoint to be as fast as possible could result in
fewer periods of time of reduced performance due to kernel flushing.
General agreement is that the "spread more" is the preferred approach
though and those who need to tune away from that value are much less

Change the default_toast_compression GUC to be an enum rather than
a string. Earlier, uncommitted versions of the patch supported using
CREATE ACCESS METHOD to add new compression methods to a running
system, but that idea was dropped before commit. So, we can simplify
the GUC handling as well, which has the nice side effect of improving
the error messages.

While updating the documentation to reflect the new GUC type, also
move it back to the right place in the list. I moved this while
revising what became commit 24f0e395,
but apparently the intended ordering is "alphabetical" rather than
"whatever Robert thinks looks nice."

Rejigger things to avoid having access/toast_compression.h depend on
utils/guc.h, so that we don't end up with every file that includes
it also depending on something largely unrelated. Move a few
inline functions back into the C source file partly to help reduce

cosmetic fixes.

GetNewOidWithIndex() generates a new OID one by one until it finds
one not in the relation. If there are very long runs of consecutive
existing OIDs, GetNewOidWithIndex() needs to iterate many times
in the loop to find unused OID. Since TOAST table can have a large
number of entries and there can be such long runs of OIDs, there is
the case where it takes so many iterations to find new OID not in
TOAST table. Furthermore if all (i.e., 2^32) OIDs are already used,
GetNewOidWithIndex() enters something like busy loop and repeats
the iterations until at least one OID is marked as unused.

There are some reported troubles caused by a large number of
iterations in GetNewOidWithIndex(). For example, when inserting
a billion of records into the table, all the backends doing that
insertion operation got hang with 100% CPU usage at some point.

Previously there was no easy way to detect that GetNewOidWithIndex()
failed to find unused OID many times. So, for example, gdb full
backtrace of hanged backends needed to be taken, in order to
investigate that trouble. This is inconvenient and may not be
available in some production environments.

To provide easy way for that, this commit makes GetNewOidWithIndex()
log that it iterates more than GETNEWOID_LOG_THRESHOLD but have
not yet found OID unused in the relation. Also this commit makes
it repeat logging with exponentially increasing intervals until
it iterates more than GETNEWOID_LOG_MAX_INTERVAL, and makes it
finally repeat logging every GETNEWOID_LOG_MAX_INTERVAL unless
an unused OID is found. Those macro variables are used not to
fill up the server log with the similar messages.

In the discusion at pgsql-hackers, there was another idea to report
the lots of iterations in GetNewOidWithIndex() via wait event.
But since GetNewOidWithIndex() traverses indexes to find unused
OID and which will do I/O, acquire locks, etc, which will overwrite
the wait event and reset it to nothing once done. So that idea
doesn't work well, and we didn't adopt it.

Jasen Betts reported yet another unintended side effect of commit
85c54287: reconnecting with "\c service=whatever" did not have the
expected results.  The reason is that starting from the output of
PQconndefaults() effectively allows environment variables (such
as PGPORT) to override entries in the service file, whereas the
normal priority is the other way around.

Not using PQconndefaults at all would require yet a third main code
path in do_connect's parameter setup, so I don't really want to fix
it that way.  But we can have the logic effectively ignore all the
default values for just a couple more lines of code.

This patch doesn't change the behavior for "\c -reuse-previous=on
service=whatever".  That remains significantly different from before
85c54287, because many more parameters will be re-used, and thus
not be possible for service entries to replace.  But I think this
is (mostly?) intentional.  In any case, since libpq does not report
where it got parameter values from, it's hard to do differently.

end_heap_rewrite was not careful to ensure that the target relation
is open at the smgr level before performing its final smgrimmedsync.
In ordinary cases this is no problem, because it would have been
opened earlier during the rewrite.  However a crash can be reproduced
by re-clustering an empty table with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS enabled.

Although that exact scenario does not crash in v13, I think that's
a chance result of unrelated planner changes, and the problem is
likely still reachable with other test cases.  The true proximate
cause of this failure is commit c6b92041, which replaced a call to
heap_sync (which was careful about opening smgr) with a direct call
to smgrimmedsync.  Hence, back-patch to v13.

pg_waldump --stats=record identifies a record by a combination

But XACT records use the first bit of those four bits for an optional

identify a record. So previously the same type of XACT record

This commit changes how we pass scan keys to BRIN consistent function.
Instead of passing them one by one, we now pass all scan keys for a
given attribute at once. That makes the consistent function a bit more
complex, as it has to loop through the keys, but it does allow more
elaborate opclasses that can use multiple keys to eliminate ranges much
more effectively.

The existing BRIN opclasses (minmax, inclusion) don't really benefit
from this change. The primary purpose is to allow future opclases to
benefit from seeing all keys at once.

This does change the BRIN API, because the signature of the consistent
function changes (a new parameter with number of scan keys). So this
breaks existing opclasses, and will require supporting two variants of
the code for different PostgreSQL versions. We've considered supporting
two variants of the consistent, but we've decided not to do that.
Firstly, there's another patch that moves handling of NULL values from
the opclass, which means the opclasses need to be updated anyway.
Secondly, we're not aware of any out-of-core BRIN opclasses, so it does
not seem worth the extra complexity.

Until now the bsearch_arg function was used only in extended statistics
code, so it was defined in that code.  But we already have qsort_arg in
src/port, so let's move it next to it.

substring(), and perhaps other callers, isn't careful to pass a
slice length that is no more than the datum's true size.  Since
toast_decompress_datum_slice's children will palloc the requested
slice length, this can waste memory.  Also, close study of the liblz4
documentation suggests that it is dependent on the caller to not ask
for more than the correct amount of decompressed data; this squares
with observed misbehavior with liblz4 1.8.3.  Avoid these problems
by switching to the normal full-decompression code path if the
slice request is >= datum's decompressed size.

The authors of bbe0a81d hadn't quite got the idea that macros named

details in postgres.h.  Choose more legible names for macros that are

the separation between those internal macros and ones intended for

Also, avoid using the term "rawsize" for true decompressed size;
we've used "extsize" for that, because "rawsize" generally denotes
total Datum size including header.  This choice seemed particularly
unfortunate in tests that were comparing one of these meanings to
