Extracted from a larger patch by Dimitri Fontaine.  It is hoped that
this will provide infrastructure for enriching the new event trigger
functionality, but it seems possibly useful for other purposes as
well.

transformExpr() is required to cope with already-transformed expression
trees, for various ugly-but-not-quite-worth-cleaning-up reasons.  However,
some of its newer subroutines hadn't gotten the memo.  This accounts for
bug #7763 from Norbert Buchmuller: transformRowExpr() was overwriting the
previously determined type of a RowExpr during CREATE TABLE LIKE INCLUDING
INDEXES.  Additional investigation showed that transformXmlExpr had the
same kind of problem, but all the other cases seem to be safe.

"GetForeignTableColumnOptions" should be "GetForeignColumnOptions".
Noted by Metin Döşlü.

Here's another attempt at fixing the logic that decides how far the WAL can
be streamed, which was still broken if the timeline changed while streaming.
You would get an assertion failure. The way the logic is now written is more
readable, too.

Thom Brown reported the assertion failure.

If a relation file was removed when the server-side counterpart of
pg_basebackup was just about to open it to send it to the client, you'd
get a "could not open file" error. Fix that.

Backpatch to 9.1, this goes back to when pg_basebackup was introduced.

If pg_extension_config_dump() is executed again for a table already listed
in the extension's extconfig, the code was blindly making a new array entry.
This does not seem useful.  Fix it to replace the existing array entry
instead, so that it's possible for extension update scripts to alter the
filter conditions for configuration tables.

In addition, teach ALTER EXTENSION DROP TABLE to check for an extconfig
entry for the target table, and remove it if present.  This is not a 100%
solution because it's allowed for an extension update script to just
summarily DROP a member table, and that code path doesn't go through
ExecAlterExtensionContentsStmt.  We could probably make that case clean
things up if we had to, but it would involve sticking a very ugly wart
somewhere in the guts of dependency.c.  Since on the whole it seems quite
unlikely that extension updates would want to remove pre-existing
configuration tables, making the case possible with an explicit command
seems sufficient.

Per bug #7756 from Regina Obe.  Back-patch to 9.1 where extensions were
introduced.

This was broken before, we would recycle old WAL segments on wrong timeline
after the recovery target timeline had changed, but my recent commit to
not initialize ThisTimeLineID at all in a standby's checkpointer process
broke this completely.

The problem is that when installing a recycled WAL segment as a future one,
ThisTimeLineID is used to construct the filename. To fix, always update
ThisTimeLineID to the current timeline being recovered, before recycling
WAL segments at a restartpoint.

This still leaves a small window where we might install WAL segments under
wrong timeline ID, if the timeline is changed just as we're about to start
recycling. Also, even if we're replaying timeline X at the momnent, there's
no guarantee that we'll need as many WAL segments on that timeline as we
recycle. We might be just about to reach the point where we switch to next
timeline, so might only need one more WAL segment on the current timeline.
We'll live with the waste in that situation.

Bug pointed out by Fujii Masao. 9.1 and 9.2 had the same issue, when
recovery target timeline was changed, but I committed a slightly different
version of this patch on those branches.

Because the client encoding might not match the server encoding,
pg_upgrade can't allocate NAMEDATALEN bytes for storage of database,
relation, and namespace identifiers.  Instead pg_strdup() the memory and
free it.

Also add C comment in initdb.c about safe NAMEDATALEN usage.

Most of the time, the last replayed record comes from the recovery target
timeline, but there is a corner case where it makes a difference. When
the startup process scans for a new timeline, and decides to change recovery
target timeline, there is a window where the recovery target TLI has already
been bumped, but there are no WAL segments from the new timeline in pg_xlog
yet. For example, if we have just replayed up to point 0/30002D8, on
timeline 1, there is a WAL file called 000000010000000000000003 in pg_xlog
that contains the WAL up to that point. When recovery switches recovery
target timeline to 2, a walsender can immediately try to read WAL from
0/30002D8, from timeline 2, so it will try to open WAL file
000000020000000000000003. However, that doesn't exist yet - the startup
process hasn't copied that file from the archive yet nor has the walreceiver
streamed it yet, so walsender fails with error "requested WAL segment
000000020000000000000003 has already been removed". That's harmless, in that
the standby will try to reconnect later and by that time the segment is
already created, but error messages that should be ignored are not good.

To fix that, have walsender track the TLI of the last replayed record,
instead of the recovery target timeline. That way walsender will not try to
read anything from timeline 2, until the WAL segment has been created and at
least one record has been replayed from it. The recovery target timeline is
now xlog.c's internal affair, it doesn't need to be exposed in shared memory
anymore.

This fixes the error reported by Thom Brown. depesz the same error message,
but I'm not sure if this fixes his scenario.

We used to set it to the current recovery target timeline, but the recovery
target timeline can change during recovery, leaving ThisTimeLineID at an
old value. That seems worse than always leaving it at zero to begin with.

AFAICS there was no good reason to set it in the first place. ThisTimeLineID
is not needed in checkpointer or bgwriter process, until it's time to write
the end-of-recovery checkpoint, and at that point ThisTimeLineID is updated
anyway.

Add comment stating that constraint and index names must match.

If you restored from a backup taken from a standby, and the last record in
the backup is the checkpoint record, ie. there is no redo required except
for the checkpoint record, we would fail to notice that we've reached the
end-of-backup point, and the database is consistent. The result was an
error "WAL ends before end of online backup". To fix, move the
have-we-reached-end-of-backup check into CheckRecoveryConsistency(), which
is already responsible for similar checks with minRecoveryPoint, and is
called in the right places.

Backpatch to 9.2, this check and bug did not exist before that.

In an earlier version of the standard, this was called just
"MAX_CARDINALITY".

Error exposed by recent Assert changes.

Complaint from Peter Eisentraut.

Some versions of libedit expose bogus definitions of setproctitle(),
optreset, and perhaps other symbols that we don't want configure to pick up
on.  There was a previous report of similar problems with strlcpy(), which
we addressed in commit 59cf88da, but the
problem has evidently grown in scope since then.  In hopes of not having to
deal with it again in future, rearrange configure's tests for supplied
functions so that we ignore libedit/libreadline except when probing
specifically for functions we expect them to provide.

Per report from Christoph Berg, though this is slightly more aggressive
than his proposed patch.

This was used in a time when a shared libperl or libpython was difficult
to come by.  That is obsolete, and the idea behind the flag was never
fully portable anyway and will likely fail on more modern CPU
architectures.

During crash recovery, we remove disk files belonging to temporary tables,
but the system catalog entries for such tables are intentionally not
cleaned up right away.  Instead, the first backend that uses a temp schema
is expected to clean out any leftover objects therein.  This approach
requires that we be careful to ignore leftover temp tables (since any
actual access attempt would fail), *even if their BackendId matches our
session*, if we have not yet established use of the session's corresponding
temp schema.  That worked fine in the past, but was broken by commit
debcec7d which incorrectly removed the
rd_islocaltemp relcache flag.  Put it back, and undo various changes
that substituted tests like "rel->rd_backend == MyBackendId" for use
of a state-aware flag.  Per trouble report from Heikki Linnakangas.

Back-patch to 9.1 where the erroneous change was made.  In the back
branches, be careful to add rd_islocaltemp in a spot in the struct that
was alignment padding before, so as not to break existing add-on code.

We failed to ever fill the sixth line (LISTEN_ADDR), which caused the
attempt to fill the seventh line (SHMEM_KEY) to fail, so that the shared
memory key never got added to the file in standalone mode.  This has been
broken since we added more content to our lock files in 9.1.

To fix, tweak the logic in CreateLockFile to add an empty LISTEN_ADDR
line in standalone mode.  This is a tad grotty, but since that function
already knows almost everything there is to know about the contents of
lock files, it doesn't seem that it's any better to hack it elsewhere.

It's not clear how significant this bug really is, since a standalone
backend should never have any children and thus it seems not critical
to be able to check the nattch count of the shmem segment externally.
But I'm going to back-patch the fix anyway.

This problem had escaped notice because of an ancient (and in hindsight
pretty dubious) decision to suppress LOG-level messages by default in
standalone mode; so that the elog(LOG) complaint in AddToDataDirLockFile
that should have warned of the problem didn't do anything.  Fixing that
is material for a separate patch though.

Quiet compiler warnings noted by Peter Eisentraut.

Not all system catalog description tables have the same number of
columns, and the patch to add oid columns did one bit too much
copy-and-pasting.

Before this patch, streaming replication would refuse to start replicating
if the timeline in the primary doesn't exactly match the standby. The
situation where it doesn't match is when you have a master, and two
standbys, and you promote one of the standbys to become new master.
Promoting bumps up the timeline ID, and after that bump, the other standby
would refuse to continue.

There's significantly more timeline related logic in streaming replication
now. First of all, when a standby connects to primary, it will ask the
primary for any timeline history files that are missing from the standby.
The missing files are sent using a new replication command TIMELINE_HISTORY,
and stored in standby's pg_xlog directory. Using the timeline history files,
the standby can follow the latest timeline present in the primary
(recovery_target_timeline='latest'), just as it can follow new timelines
appearing in an archive directory.

START_REPLICATION now takes a TIMELINE parameter, to specify exactly which
timeline to stream WAL from. This allows the standby to request the primary
to send over WAL that precedes the promotion. The replication protocol is
changed slightly (in a backwards-compatible way although there's little hope
of streaming replication working across major versions anyway), to allow
replication to stop when the end of timeline reached, putting the walsender
back into accepting a replication command.

Many thanks to Amit Kapila for testing and reviewing various versions of
this patch.

This makes unnecessary the ugly hack used to #include postgres.h in
pg_basebackup.

Based on Alvaro Herrera's patch

If a tuple is larger than page size minus space reserved for fillfactor,
heap_multi_insert would never find a page that it fits in and repeatedly ask
for a new page from RelationGetBufferForTuple. If a tuple is too large to
fit on any page, taking fillfactor into account, RelationGetBufferForTuple
will always expand the relation. In a normal insert, heap_insert will accept
that and put the tuple on the new page. heap_multi_insert, however, does a
fillfactor check of its own, and doesn't accept the newly-extended page
RelationGetBufferForTuple returns, even though there is no other choice to
make the tuple fit.

Fix that by making the logic in heap_multi_insert more like the heap_insert
logic. The first tuple is always put on the page RelationGetBufferForTuple
gives us, and the fillfactor check is only applied to the subsequent tuples.

Report from David Gould, although I didn't use his patch.

The dynahash code requires the number of buckets in a hash table to fit
in an int; but since we calculate the desired hash table size dynamically,
there are various scenarios where we might calculate too large a value.
The resulting overflow can lead to infinite loops, division-by-zero
crashes, etc.  I (tgl) had previously installed some defenses against that
in commit 299d1716, but that covered only one
call path.  Moreover it worked by limiting the request size to work_mem,
but in a 64-bit machine it's possible to set work_mem high enough that the
problem appears anyway.  So let's fix the problem at the root by installing
limits in the dynahash.c functions themselves.

Trouble report and patch by Jeff Davis.

Per discussion, this seems necessary to allow recovery from broken event
triggers, or broken indexes on pg_event_trigger.
