Running a shell command for each file to be archived has a lot of
overhead and may not offer as much error checking as you want, or the
exact semantics that you want. So, offer the option to call a loadable
module for each file to be archived, rather than running a shell command.
Also, add a 'basic_archive' contrib module as an example implementation
that archives to a local directory.

Commit 8e2b6d45a0 added a new unprivileged user for testing
pg_basebackup, but omitted to add them to the cluster's authorized
logins, breaking Windows tests run without using Unix sockets.
The SQL standard has been ambiguous about whether null values in
unique constraints should be considered equal or not. Different
implementations have different behaviors. In the SQL:202x draft, this
has been formalized by making this implementation-defined and adding
an option on unique constraint definitions UNIQUE [ NULLS [NOT]
DISTINCT ] to choose a behavior explicitly.
This patch adds this option to PostgreSQL. The default behavior
remains UNIQUE NULLS DISTINCT. Making this happen in the btree code
is pretty easy; most of the patch is just to carry the flag around to
all the places that need it.
The CREATE UNIQUE INDEX syntax extension is not from the standard,
it's my own invention.
I named all the internal flags, catalog columns, etc. in the negative
("nulls not distinct") so that the default PostgreSQL behavior is the
default if the flag is false.

We assume that direct-modify ForeignScan nodes cannot be re-evaluated
during EvalPlanQual processing, but the rework for inherited
UPDATE/DELETE in commit 86dc90056 changed things, without considering
that, so that such ForeignScan nodes get called as part of the
EvalPlanQual subtree during EvalPlanQual processing in the case of an
inherited UPDATE/DELETE where the inheritance set contains foreign
target relations. To avoid re-evaluating such ForeignScan nodes during
EvalPlanQual processing, commit c3928b467 modified nodeForeignscan.c,
but the assumption made there that ExecForeignScan() should never be
called for such ForeignScan nodes during EvalPlanQual processing turned
out to be wrong in some cases, leading to a segmentation fault or a
"cannot re-evaluate a Foreign Update or Delete during EvalPlanQual"
error.
Fix by modifying nodeForeignscan.c further to avoid re-evaluating such
ForeignScan nodes even in ExecForeignScan()/ExecReScanForeignScan()
during EvalPlanQual processing. Since this makes non-reachable the
test-and-elog added to ForeignNext() by commit c3928b467 that produced
the aforesaid error, convert the test-and-elog to an Assert.

startup_hacks() called SetErrorMode() with the SEM_NOGPFAULTERRORBOX argument
to prevent GUI popups on error. While that likely was sufficient at some
point, there are other sources of error popups.
At the same time SEM_NOGPFAULTERRORBOX unfortunately also prevents
"just-in-time debuggers" from working reliably, i.e. the ability to attach to
a process on crash. This prevents collecting crash dumps as part of CI.
The error popups are particularly problematic when they occur during automated
testing, as they can cause the tests to hang, waiting for a button to be
clicked.
This commit improves the error handling setup in startup_hacks() to address
those problems. SEM_NOGPFAULTERRORBOX is not used anymore, instead various
other APIs are used to disable popups and to redirect output to stderr where
possible.
While this improves the situation for postgres.exe, it doesn't address similar
issues in all the other executables. There currently is no codepath that's
called early on for all frontend programs.
I've tested that this prevents GUI popups and allows JIT debugging in case of
crashes due to:
- abort()
- assert()
- C runtime errors
- unhandled exceptions
both in debug and non-debug mode, on Win10 with MSVC 2019 and with MinGW.
Now that crash reports are generated on windows, collect them in windows CI.

This commit adds a timeout (using git's timeout binary) to all vcregress

idea to add timeouts to the other operating systems at a later time.

When completing keywords that are offered alongside names obtained
from a query, preserve the user's choice of keyword case. This
would have been messy to do before 02b8048ba, but now it's fairly
simple. A complication is that we want keywords to be shown in
upper case in any tab-completion menus that include both keywords
and non-keywords, so we can't switch their case until enough has
been typed that only keyword(s) remain to be chosen.
Also, adjust some places where 02b8048ba thoughtlessly held over
a previous choice to display keywords in lower case. (I think
I got confused as to whether those words were keywords or variable
names, but they're the former.)

Given the existing stipulation that path_contains_parent_reference()
must only be invoked on canonicalized paths, we can simplify things
in the wake of commit c10f830c5. It is now only possible to see
".." at the start of a relative path. That means we can simplify
path_contains_parent_reference() itself quite a bit, and it makes
the two existing outside call sites dead code, since they'd already
checked that the path is absolute.
We could now fold path_contains_parent_reference() into its only
remaining caller path_is_relative_and_below_cwd(). But it seems
better to leave it as a separately callable function, in case any
extensions are using it.
Also document the pre-existing requirement for
path_is_relative_and_below_cwd's input to be likewise canonicalized.

Teach canonicalize_path() how to strip all unnecessary uses of "."
and "..", replacing the previous ad-hoc code that got rid of only
some such cases. In particular, we can always remove all such
uses from absolute paths.
The proximate reason to do this is that Windows rejects paths
involving ".." in some cases (in particular, you can't put one in a
symlink), so we ought to be sure we don't use ".." unnecessarily.
Moreover, it seems like good cleanup on general principles.
There is other path-munging code that could be simplified now, but
we'll leave that for followup work.
It is tempting to call this a bug fix and back-patch it. On the other
hand, the misbehavior can only be reached if a highly privileged user
does something dubious, so it's not unreasonable to say "so don't do
that". And this patch could result in unexpected behavioral changes,
in case anybody was expecting uses of ".." to stay put. So at least
for now, just put it in HEAD.

This patch improves tab completion's ability to deal with
valid variant spellings of SQL identifiers. Notably:
* Unquoted upper-case identifiers are now downcased as the backend
would do, allowing them to be completed correctly.
* Tab completion can now match identifiers that are quoted even
though they don't need to be; for example "f<TAB> now completes
to "foo" if that's the only available name. Previously, only
names that require quotes would be offered.
* Schema-qualified identifiers are now supported where SQL syntax
allows it; many lesser-used completion rules neglected this.
* Completion operations that refer back to some previously-typed
name (for example, to complete names of columns belonging to a
previously-mentioned table) now allow variant spellings of the
previous name too.
In addition, performance of tab completion queries has been
improved for databases containing many objects, although
you'd only be likely to notice with a heavily-loaded server.
Authors of future tab-completion patches should note that this
commit changes many details about how tab completion queries
must be written:
* Tab completion queries now deal in raw object names; do not
use quote_ident().
* The name-matching restriction in a query must now be written
as "outputcol LIKE '%s'", not "substring(outputcol,1,%d)='%s'".
* The SchemaQuery mechanism has been extended so that it can
handle queries that refer back to a previous name. Most completion
queries that do that should be converted to SchemaQuery form.
Only consider using a literal query if the previous name can
never be schema-qualified. Don't use a literal query if the
name-to-be-completed can validly be schema-qualified, either.
* Use set_completion_reference() to specify which word is the previous
name to consider, for either a SchemaQuery or a literal query.
* If you want to offer some keywords in addition to a query result
(for example, offer COLUMN in addition to column names after
"ALTER TABLE t RENAME"), do not use the old hack of tacking the
keywords on with UNION. Instead use the new QUERY_PLUS macros
to write such keywords separately from the query proper. The
"addon" macro arguments that used to be used for this purpose
are gone.
* If your query returns something that's not a SQL identifier
(such as an attribute number or enum label), use the new
QUERY_VERBATIM macros to prevent the result from incorrectly
getting double-quoted. You may still need to use quote_literal
in such a query, too.

Although select_common_type() has a failure-return convention, an
apparent successful return just provides a type OID that *might* work
as a common supertype; we've not validated that the required casts
actually exist. In the mainstream use-cases that doesn't matter,
because we'll proceed to invoke coerce_to_common_type() on each input,
which will fail appropriately if the proposed common type doesn't
actually work. However, a few callers didn't read the (nonexistent)
fine print, and thought that if they got back a nonzero OID then the
coercions were sure to work.
This affects in particular the recently-added "anycompatible"
polymorphic types; we might think that a function/operator using
such types matches cases it really doesn't. A likely end result
of that is unexpected "ambiguous operator" errors, as for example
in bug #17387 from James Inform. Another, much older, case is that
the parser might try to transform an "x IN (list)" construct to
a ScalarArrayOpExpr even when the list elements don't actually have
a common supertype.
It doesn't seem desirable to add more checking to select_common_type
itself, as that'd just slow down the mainstream use-cases. Instead,
write a separate function verify_common_type that performs the
missing checks, and add a call to that where necessary. Likewise add
verify_common_type_from_oids to go with select_common_type_from_oids.
Back-patch to v13 where the "anycompatible" types came in. (The
symptom complained of in bug #17387 doesn't appear till v14, but
that's just because we didn't get around to converting || to use
anycompatible till then.) In principle the "x IN (list)" fix could
go back all the way, but I'm not currently convinced that it makes
much difference in real-world cases, so I won't bother for now.

c532d15 has split the logic of COPY commands into multiple files, one
change being to move the internals of BeginCopy() to BeginCopyTo().
Originally the code was written so as we'd switch back-and-forth between
the current execution memory context and the dedicated memory context
for the COPY command, and this refactoring has introduced an extra
switch to the current memory context from the COPY context once
BeginCopyTo() is done with the past logic coming from BeginCopy().
The code was correctly doing the analyze, rewrite and planning phases in
the COPY context, but it was not assigning "copy_file" (FILE* used when
copying to a source file) and "filename" in the COPY context, making the
COPY status data inconsistent.

The original text on refreshing collation versions was written
specifically for ICU, and then information for other providers was
incrementally tacked on at the end. Reword this to be a bit more
general and less reflective of how it was added.
When pg_log_backend_memory_contexts() is executed, the target backend
should use LOG_SERVER_ONLY to log its memory contexts, to prevent them
from being sent to its connected client regardless of client_min_messages.
But previously the backend unexpectedly used LOG to log the message
"logging memory contexts of PID %d" and it could be sent to the client.
This is a bug in memory context logging.
To fix the bug, this commit changes that message so that it's logged with
LOG_SERVER_ONLY.

Commit 8431e296ea reworked ProcArrayApplyRecoveryInfo to sort XIDs
before adding them to KnownAssignedXids. But the XIDs are sorted using
xidComparator, which compares the XIDs simply as uint32 values, not
logically. KnownAssignedXidsAdd() however expects XIDs in logical order,
and calls TransactionIdFollowsOrEquals() to enforce that. If there are
XIDs for which the two orderings disagree, an error is raised and the
recovery fails/restarts.
Hitting this issue is fairly easy - you just need two transactions, one
started before the 4B limit (e.g. XID 4294967290), the other sometime
after it (e.g. XID 1000). Logically (4294967290 <= 1000) but when
compared using xidComparator we try to add them in the opposite order.
Which makes KnownAssignedXidsAdd() fail with an error like this:
ERROR: out-of-order XID insertion in KnownAssignedXids
This only happens during replica startup, while processing RUNNING_XACTS
records to build the snapshot. Once we reach STANDBY_SNAPSHOT_READY, we
skip these records. So this does not affect already running replicas,
but if you restart (or create) a replica while there are transactions
with XIDs for which the two orderings disagree, you may hit this.
Long-running transactions and frequent replica restarts increase the
likelihood of hitting this issue. Once the replica gets into this state,
it can't be started (even if the old transactions are terminated).
Fixed by sorting the XIDs logically - this is fine because we're dealing
with normal XIDs (because it's XIDs assigned to backends) and from the
same wraparound epoch (otherwise the backends could not be running at
the same time on the primary node). So there are no problems with the
triangle inequality, which is why xidComparator compares raw values.

This changes the data type of the catalog fields datcollate, datctype,
collcollate, and collctype from name to text. There wasn't ever a
really good reason for them to be of type name; presumably this was
just carried over from when they were fixed-size fields in pg_control,
first into the corresponding pg_database fields, and then to
pg_collation. The values are not identifiers or object names, and we
don't ever look them up that way.
Changing to type text saves space in the typical case, since locale
names are typically only a few bytes long. But it is also possible
that an ICU locale name with several customization options appended
could be longer than 63 bytes, so this also enables that case, which
was previously probably broken.
