Replace unix_socket_directory with unix_socket_directories, which is a list
of socket directories, and adjust postmaster's code to allow zero or more
Unix-domain sockets to be created.

This is mostly a straightforward change, but since the Unix sockets ought
to be created after the TCP/IP sockets for safety reasons (better chance
of detecting a port number conflict), AddToDataDirLockFile needs to be
fixed to support out-of-order updates of data directory lockfile lines.
That's a change that had been foreseen to be necessary someday anyway.

Formerly we relied on checking after-the-fact to see if an expression
contained aggregates, window functions, or sub-selects when it shouldn't.
This is grotty, easily forgotten (indeed, we had forgotten to teach
DefineIndex about rejecting window functions), and none too efficient
since it requires extra traversals of the parse tree.  To improve matters,
define an enum type that classifies all SQL sub-expressions, store it in
ParseState to show what kind of expression we are currently parsing, and
make transformAggregateCall, transformWindowFuncCall, and transformSubLink
check the expression type and throw error if the type indicates the
construct is disallowed.  This allows removal of a large number of ad-hoc
checks scattered around the code base.  The enum type is sufficiently
fine-grained that we can still produce error messages of at least the
same specificity as before.

Bringing these error checks together revealed that we'd been none too
consistent about phrasing of the error messages, so standardize the wording
a bit.

Also, rewrite checking of aggregate arguments so that it requires only one
traversal of the arguments, rather than up to three as before.

In passing, clean up some more comments left over from add_missing_from
support, and annotate some tests that I think are dead code now that that's
gone.  (I didn't risk actually removing said dead code, though.)

Should be limited to the maximum number of connections excluding
autovacuum workers, not including.

Add similar check for max_wal_senders, which should never be higher than
max_connections.

Previously, the -1 option was silently ignored.

Also, emit an error if -1 is used in a context where it won't be
respected, to avoid user confusion.

Original patch by Fabien COELHO, but this version is quite different

Now that we are storing structs in these lists, the distinction between
the two lists can be represented with a couple of extra flags while using
only a single list.  This simplifies the code and should save a little
bit of palloc traffic, since the majority of RTEs are represented in both
lists anyway.

Cascading replication copied the incoming file into pg_xlog but
didn't set path correctly, so the first attempt to open file failed
causing it to loop around and look for file in pg_xlog. So the
earlier coding worked, but accidentally rather than by design.

Bug spotted by Jeff Davis using -DCLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS.

The directions explaining about running the prepared-transactions test
were not updated in commit ae55d9fb.

This was broken in commit ed0b409d,
which revised the GlobalTransactionData struct to not include the
associated PGPROC as its first member, but overlooked one place where
a cast was used in reliance on that equivalence.

The most effective way of fixing this seems to be to create a new function
that looks up the GlobalTransactionData struct given the XID, and make
both TwoPhaseGetDummyBackendId and TwoPhaseGetDummyProc rely on that.

Per report from Robert Ross.

This patch implements the standard syntax of LATERAL attached to a
sub-SELECT in FROM, and also allows LATERAL attached to a function in FROM,
since set-returning function calls are expected to be one of the principal
use-cases.

The main change here is a rewrite of the mechanism for keeping track of
which relations are visible for column references while the FROM clause is
being scanned.  The parser "namespace" lists are no longer lists of bare
RTEs, but are lists of ParseNamespaceItem structs, which carry an RTE
pointer as well as some visibility-controlling flags.  Aside from
supporting LATERAL correctly, this lets us get rid of the ancient hacks
that required rechecking subqueries and JOIN/ON and function-in-FROM
expressions for invalid references after they were initially parsed.
Invalid column references are now always correctly detected on sight.

In passing, remove assorted parser error checks that are now dead code by
virtue of our having gotten rid of add_missing_from, as well as some
comments that are obsolete for the same reason.  (It was mainly
add_missing_from that caused so much fudging here in the first place.)

The planner support for this feature is very minimal, and will be improved
in future patches.  It works well enough for testing purposes, though.

catversion bump forced due to new field in RangeTblEntry.

We seem to have a rough policy that our Perl scripts should work with
Perl 5.8, so make this one do so.  Main change is to not use the newfangled
\h character class in regexes; "[ \t]" is a serviceable replacement.

Centuries without years now always assume the first year of the century,
which is now documented.

In particular, with a controlled shutdown of the master, pg_basebackup
with streaming log could terminate without an error message, even though
the backup is not consistent.

In passing, fix a few cases where walfile wasn't properly set to -1 after
closing.

We used to convert the unicode object directly to a string in the server
encoding by calling Python's PyUnicode_AsEncodedString function. In other
words, we used Python's routines to do the encoding. However, that has a
few problems. First of all, it required keeping a mapping table of Python
encoding names and PostgreSQL encodings. But the real killer was that Python
doesn't support EUC_TW and MULE_INTERNAL encodings at all.

Instead, convert the Python unicode object to UTF-8, and use PostgreSQL's
encoding conversion functions to convert from UTF-8 to server encoding. We
were already doing the same in the other direction in PLyUnicode_FromString,
so this is more consistent, too.

Note: This makes SQL_ASCII to behave more leniently. We used to map
SQL_ASCII to Python's 'ascii', which on Python means strict 7-bit ASCII
only, so you got an error if the python string contained anything but pure
ASCII. You no longer get an error; you get the UTF-8 representation of the
string instead.

Backpatch to 9.0, where these conversions were introduced.

Backpatch to 9.1 and 9.2.

DecodeInterval() failed to honor the "range" parameter (the special SQL
syntax for indicating which fields appear in the literal string) if the
time was signed.  This seems inappropriate, so make it work like the
not-signed case.  The inconsistency was introduced in my commit
f867339c, which as noted in its log message
was only really focused on making SQL-compliant literals work per spec.
Including a sign here is not per spec, but if we're going to allow it
then it's reasonable to expect it to work like the not-signed case.

Also, remove bogus setting of tmask, which caused subsequent processing to
think that what had been given was a timezone and not an hh:mm(:ss) field,
thus confusing checks for redundant fields.  This seems to be an aboriginal
mistake in Lockhart's commit 2cf16424.

Add regression test cases to illustrate the changed behaviors.

Back-patch as far as 8.4, where support for spec-compliant interval
literals was added.

As noted by Noah Misch, btree_xlog_delete_get_latestRemovedXid is
critically dependent on the assumption that it's examining a consistent
state of the database.  This was undocumented though, so the
seemingly-unrelated check for no active HS sessions might be thought to be
merely an optional optimization.  Improve comments, and add an explicit
check of reachedConsistency just to be sure.

This function returns InvalidTransactionId (thereby killing all HS
transactions) in several cases that are not nearly unlikely enough for my
taste.  This commit doesn't attempt to fix those deficiencies, just
document them.

Back-patch to 9.2, not from any real functional need but just to keep the
branches more closely synced to simplify possible future back-patching.

In yesterday's commit 962e0cc7, I added the
ResolveRecoveryConflictWithSnapshot call in the wrong place.  I correctly
put it before spgRedoVacuumRedirect itself would modify the index page ---
but not before RestoreBkpBlocks, so replay of a record with a full-page
image would modify the page before kicking off any conflicting HS
transactions.  Oops.

The correct test for whether a redirection tuple is removable is whether
tuple's xid < RecentGlobalXmin, not OldestXmin; the previous coding
failed to protect index searches being done in concurrent transactions that
have no XID.  This mirrors the recent fix in btree's page recycling logic
made in commit d3abbbeb.

Also, WAL-log the newest XID of any removed redirection tuple on an index
page, and apply ResolveRecoveryConflictWithSnapshot during InHotStandby WAL
replay.  This protects against concurrent Hot Standby transactions possibly
needing to see the redirection tuple(s).
