3c5b0685 used setFilePointer() to set the position of the filehandle, but
passed the wrong filehandle, always leaving the position at 0. Instead of just
fixing that, remove use of setFilePointer(), we have a perl fd at this point,
so we can just use perl's seek().

Backpatch: 9.6-, like 3c5b0685

Per discussion, let's just follow CLDR's default zone mappings
faithfully.  There are two changes here that are clear improvements:

* Mapping "Greenwich Standard Time" to Atlantic/Reykjavik is actually
a better fit than using London, because Iceland hasn't observed DST
since 1968, so this is more nearly what people might expect.

* Since the "Samoa" zone is specified to be UTC+13:00, we must map
it to Pacific/Apia not Pacific/Samoa; the latter refers to American
Samoa which is now on the other side of the date line.

The rest of these changes look like they're choosing the most populous
IANA zone as representative.  Whatever the details, we're just going
to say "if you don't like this mapping, complain to CLDR".

Some specific logic is done at the end of recovery when involving 2PC
transactions:
1) Call RecoverPreparedTransactions(), to recover the state of 2PC
transactions into memory (re-acquire locks, etc.).
2) ShutdownRecoveryTransactionEnvironment(), to move back to normal
operations, mainly cleaning up recovery locks and KnownAssignedXids
(including any 2PC transaction tracked previously).
3) Switch XLogCtl->SharedRecoveryState to RECOVERY_STATE_DONE, which is
the tipping point for any process calling RecoveryInProgress() to check
if the cluster is still in recovery or not.

Any snapshot taken between steps 2) and 3) would be empty, causing any
transaction relying on a snapshot at this point to potentially corrupt
data as there could still be some 2PC transactions to track, with
RecentXmin moving backwards on successive calls to GetSnapshotData() in
the same transaction.

As SharedRecoveryState is the point to take into account to know if it
is safe to discard KnownAssignedXids, this commit moves step 2) after
step 3), so as we can never finish with empty snapshots.

This exists since the introduction of hot standby, so backpatch all the
way down.  The window with incorrect snapshots is extremely small, but I
have seen it when running 023_pitr_prepared_xact.pl, as did buildfarm

Prior to v14, we insisted that the query in RETURN QUERY be of a type
that returns tuples.  (For instance, INSERT RETURNING was allowed,
but not plain INSERT.)  That happened indirectly because we opened a
cursor for the query, so spi.c checked SPI_is_cursor_plan().  As a
consequence, the error message wasn't terribly on-point, but at least
it was there.

Commit 2f48ede0 lost this detail.  Instead, plain RETURN QUERY
insisted that the query be a SELECT (by checking for SPI_OK_SELECT)
while RETURN QUERY EXECUTE failed to check the query type at all.
Neither of these changes was intended.

The only convenient place to check this in the EXECUTE case is inside
_SPI_execute_plan, because we haven't done parse analysis until then.
So we need to pass down a flag saying whether to enforce that the
query returns tuples.  Fortunately, we can squeeze another boolean
into struct SPIExecuteOptions without an ABI break, since there's
padding space there.  (It's unlikely that any extensions would
already be using this new struct, but preserving ABI in v14 seems
like a smart idea anyway.)

Within spi.c, it seemed like _SPI_execute_plan's parameter list
was already ridiculously long, and I didn't want to make it longer.
So I thought of passing SPIExecuteOptions down as-is, allowing that
parameter list to become much shorter.  This makes the patch a bit
more invasive than it might otherwise be, but it's all internal to
spi.c, so that seems fine.

Per report from Marc Bachmann.  Back-patch to v14 where the
faulty code came in.

This corrects a bunch of entries in win32_tzmap[], and adds a few
new ones, based on the CLDR project's windowsZones.xml file.
Non-cosmetic changes fall into four main categories:

* Flat-out errors:

US/Aleutan doesn't exist
America/Salvador doesn't exist
Asia/Baku is wrong for Yerevan
Asia/Dhaka (Bangladesh) is wrong for Astana (Kazakhstan)
Europe/Bucharest is wrong for Chisinau
America/Mexico_City is wrong for Chetumal
America/Buenos_Aires is wrong for Cayenne
America/Caracas has its own zone, so poor fit for La Paz
US/Eastern is wrong for Haiti
US/Eastern is wrong for Indiana (East)
Asia/Karachi is wrong for Tashkent
Etc/UTC+12 doesn't exist
Signs of Etc/GMT zones were backwards

* Judgment calls:

(These changes follow CLDR's choices, except for the first one)

Use Europe/London for "Greenwich Standard Time", since that seems much
more likely than Africa/Casablanca to be what people will think that
zone name means.  CLDR has Atlantic/Reykjavik here, but that's no better.

Asia/Shanghai seems a better fit than Hong Kong for "China Standard
Time".

Europe/Sarajevo is now a link to Belgrade, ie "Central Europe Standard
Time"; so use Warsaw for "Central European Standard Time".

America/Sao_Paulo seems more representative than Araguaina for
"E. South America Standard Time".

Africa/Johannesburg seems more representative than Harare for
"South Africa Standard Time".

* New Windows zone names:

"Israel Standard Time"
"Kaliningrad Standard Time"
"Russia Time Zone N" for various N
"Singapore Standard Time"
"South Sudan Standard Time"
"W. Central Africa Standard Time"
"West Bank Standard Time"
"Yukon Standard Time"

Some of these replace older spellings, but I kept the older spellings
too in case our code runs on a machine with the older data.

* Replace aliases (tzdb Links) with underlying city-named zones:

(This tracks tzdb's longstanding practice, and reduces inconsistency
with the rest of the entries, as well as with CLDR.)

get_variable_range() would incautiously believe that statistics
containing only an MCV list are sufficient to derive a range estimate.
That's okay for an enum-like column that contains only MCVs, but
otherwise the estimate could be pretty bad.  Make it report that the
range is indeterminate unless the MCVs plus nullfrac account for
the whole table.

I don't think this needs a dedicated test case, since a quick code
coverage check verifies that the existing regression tests traverse
all the alternatives.  There is room to doubt that a future-proof

accidentally doesn't fail before v11.

Commit 84f5c290 forgot to consider the possibility that
EnsurePortalSnapshotExists could run inside a subtransaction with
lifespan shorter than the Portal's.  In that case, the new active
snapshot would be popped at the end of the subtransaction, leaving
a dangling pointer in the Portal, with mayhem ensuing.

To fix, make sure the ActiveSnapshot stack entry is marked with
the same subtransaction nesting level as the associated Portal.
It's certainly safe to do so since we won't be here at all unless
the stack is empty; hence we can't create an out-of-order stack.

Let's also apply this logic in the case where PortalRunUtility
sets portalSnapshot, just to be sure that path can't cause similar
problems.  It's slightly less clear that that path can't create
an out-of-order stack, so add an assertion guarding it.

Computing related timestamps by subtracting "N days" is sensitive
to the prevailing timezone, since we interpret that as "same local

First, as pointed out by Tom Lane and Michael Paquier, I failed to
realize that Windows' PostgresNode needs an extra pg_hba.conf line
(added by PostgresNode->set_replication_conf, called internally by
->init() when 'allows_streaming=>1' is given -- but I purposefully
omitted that).  I think a good fix should be to have nodes with only
'has_archiving=>1' set up for replication too, but that's a bigger
discussion.  Fix it by calling ->set_replication_conf, which is not
unprecedented, as pointed out by Andrew Dunstan.

I also forgot to uncomment a ->finish() call for a pumpable IPC::Run
file descriptor.  Apparently this is innocuous in almost all platforms.

Physical replication always ships WAL segment files to replicas once
they are complete.  This is a problem if one WAL record is split across
a segment boundary and the primary server crashes before writing down
the segment with the next portion of the WAL record: WAL writing after
crash recovery would happily resume at the point where the broken record
started, overwriting that record ... but any standby or backup may have
already received a copy of that segment, and they are not rewinding.
This causes standbys to stop following the primary after the latter
crashes:
  LOG:  invalid contrecord length 7262 at A8/D9FFFBC8
because the standby is still trying to read the continuation record
(contrecord) for the original long WAL record, but it is not there and
it will never be.  A workaround is to stop the replica, delete the WAL
file, and restart it -- at which point a fresh copy is brought over from
the primary.  But that's pretty labor intensive, and I bet many users
would just give up and re-clone the standby instead.

A fix for this problem was already attempted in commit 515e3d84a0b5, but
it only addressed the case for the scenario of WAL archiving, so
streaming replication would still be a problem (as well as other things
such as taking a filesystem-level backup while the server is down after
having crashed), and it had performance scalability problems too; so it
had to be reverted.

This commit fixes the problem using an approach suggested by Andres
Freund, whereby the initial portion(s) of the split-up WAL record are
kept, and a special type of WAL record is written where the contrecord
was lost, so that WAL replay in the replica knows to skip the broken
parts.  With this approach, we can continue to stream/archive segment
files as soon as they are complete, and replay of the broken records
will proceed across the crash point without a hitch.

Because a new type of WAL record is added, users should be careful to
upgrade standbys first, primaries later. Otherwise they risk the standby
being unable to start if the primary happens to write such a record.

A new TAP test that exercises this is added, but the portability of it
is yet to be seen.

This has been wrong since the introduction of physical replication, so
backpatch all the way back.  In stable branches, keep the new
XLogReaderState members at the end of the struct, to avoid an ABI
break.

Until now, all extended statistics on a given relation were built in the

explicitly, but not all of it - for example memory allocated while
detoasting values is hard to free. This is how it worked since extended
statistics were introduced in PostgreSQL 10, but adding support for
extended stats on expressions made the issue somewhat worse as it
increases the number of statistics to build.

Fixed by adding a memory context which gets reset after building each
statistics object (all the statistics kinds included in it). Resetting
it after building each statistics kind would be even better, but it
would require more invasive changes and copying of results, making it
