I chanced to notice while thumbing through lcov reports that we had
exactly no coverage of BETWEEN SYMMETRIC, nor of current_time(N) and
localtime(N).  Improve that.

parse_expr.c still has a pretty awful coverage number, but a large part
of that is due to lack of coverage of the operator_precedence_warning
logic.  I have zero desire to write tests for that; I think ripping it
out would be more sensible at this point.

These seem to be leftovers from old patches, perhaps.

The code for conversions SQL_ASCII <-> MULE_INTERNAL and
SQL_ASCII <-> UTF8 was unreachable, because we long ago changed
the wrapper functions pg_do_encoding_conversion() et al so that
they have hard-wired behaviors for conversions involving SQL_ASCII.
(At least some of those fast paths date back to 2002, though it
looks like we may not have been totally consistent about this until
later.)  Given the lack of complaints, nobody is dissatisfied with
this state of affairs.  Hence, let's just remove the unreachable code.

Also, change CREATE CONVERSION so that it rejects attempts to
define such conversions.  Since we consider that SQL_ASCII represents
lack of knowledge about the encoding in use, such a conversion would
be semantically dubious even if it were reachable.

Adjust a couple of regression test cases that had randomly decided
to rely on these conversion functions rather than any other ones.

The serialization format of multivariate MCV lists included alignment in
order to allow direct access to part of the serialized data, but despite
multiple fixes (see for example commits d85e0f36 and ea4e1c0e) this
proved to be problematic.

This commit abandons alignment in the serialized format, and just copies
everything during deserialization.  We now also track amount of memory
needed after deserialization (including alignment), which allows us to
deserialize the MCV list in a single pass.

When building multi-column MCV lists, we compute base frequency for each
item, i.e. a product of per-column frequencies for values from the item.
As a value may be in multiple groups, the code was scanning the whole
array of groups while adding items to the MCV list.  This works fine as
long as the number of distinct groups is small, but it's easy to trigger
trigger O(N^2) behavior, especially after increasing statistics target.

This commit precomputes frequencies for values in all columns, so that
when computing the base frequency it's enough to make a simple bsearch
lookup in the array.

We can use the %zu format specifier directly, no need to cast to int.

Because there is no portable int64/uint64 format specifier and we
can't stick macros like INT64_FORMAT into the middle of a translatable
string, we have been using various workarounds that put the number to
be printed into a string buffer first.  Now that we always use our own
sprintf(), we can rely on %lld and %llu to work, so we can use those.

This patch undoes this workaround in a few places where it was
egregiously verbose.

This is a follow-up refactoring after 09ec55b9 and b6742117, which has
proved that the encoding and decoding routines used by SCRAM have a
poor interface when it comes to check after buffer overflows.  This adds
an extra argument in the shape of the length of the result buffer for
each routine, which is used for overflow checks when encoding or
decoding an input string.  The original idea comes from Tom Lane.

As a result of that, the encoding routine can now fail, so all its
callers are adjusted to generate proper error messages in case of
problems.

On failure, the result buffer gets zeroed.

The last set of scenarios did an initialization of nodes followed by an
extra command to set up the authentication policy with pg_regress
--config-auth.  This configuration step can be integrated directly using
the option auth_extra from PostgresNode::init when initializing the
node, saving from one extra command.  On Windows, this also restricts
more pg_ident.conf for the SSPI user mapping by removing the entry of
the OS user running the test, which is not needed anyway.

Note that IPC::Run mishandles double quotes, hence the restore user name
is changed to map with that.  This was already done in the test as a
later step, but not in a consistent way, causing the switch to use
auth_extra to fail.

A function that is declared to return a named composite type must
return tuple datums that are physically marked as having that type.
The plpgsql code path that allowed directly returning an expanded-record
datum forgot to check that, so that an expanded record marked as type
RECORDOID could be returned if it had a physically-compatible tupdesc.
This'd be harmless, I think, if the record value never escaped the
current session --- but it's possible for it to get stored into a table,
and then subsequent sessions can't interpret the anonymous record type.

Fix by flattening the record into a tuple datum and overwriting its
type/typmod fields, if its declared type doesn't match the function's
declared type.  (In principle it might be possible to just change the
expanded record's stored type ID info, but there are enough tricky
consequences that I didn't want to mess with that, especially not in
a back-patched bug fix.)

d4c3a156 added code to remove columns that were not part of a table's
PRIMARY KEY constraint from the GROUP BY clause when all the primary key
columns were present in the group by.  This is fine to do since we know
that there will only be one row per group coming from this relation.
However, the logic failed to consider inheritance parent relations.  These
can have child relations without a primary key, but even if they did, they
could duplicate one of the parent's rows or one from another child
relation.  In this case, those additional GROUP BY columns are required.

Fix this by disabling the optimization for inheritance parent tables.
In v11 and beyond, partitioned tables are fine since partitions cannot
overlap and before v11 partitioned tables could not have a primary key.

These are no longer needed/allowed with the new logging API.

Commit 4f3b38fe supposed that complete_from_const() is equivalent to
the one-element-list case of complete_from_list(), but that's not
really true at all.  complete_from_const() supposes that the completion
is certain enough to justify wiping out whatever the user typed, while
complete_from_list() will only provide completions that match the
word-so-far.

In practice, given the lame parsing technology used by tab-complete.c,
it's fairly hard to believe that we're *ever* certain enough about
a completion to justify auto-correcting user input that doesn't match.

Hence, remove the inappropriate unification of the two cases.
As things now stand, complete_from_const() is used only for the
situation where we have no matches and we need to keep readline
from applying its default complete-with-file-names behavior.

This (mis?) behavior actually exists much further back, but
I'm hesitant to change it in released branches.  It's not too
late for v12, though, especially seeing that the aforesaid
commit is new in v12.

Don't think that the context "UPDATE tab SET var =" is a GUC-setting
command.

If we have "SET var =" but the "var" is not a known GUC variable,

we've misparsed the context and it's not really a GUC-setting command.

further back, but before 9.6 the code looks very different and it

The previous rule was "primary key (if any) first, then other unique
indexes in name order, then all other indexes in name order".
But the preference for unique indexes seems a bit obsolete since the
introduction of exclusion constraints.   It's no longer the case
that unique indexes are the only ones that constrain what data can
be in the table, and it's hard to see what other rationale there is
for separating out unique indexes.  Other new features like the
possibility for some indexes to be INVALID (hence, not constraining
anything) make this even shakier.

Hence, simplify the sort order to be "primary key (if any) first,
then all other indexes in name order".

No documentation change, since this was never documented anyway.
A couple of existing regression test cases change output, though.
