Tom Lane	4a054069a3	Improve display of query results in isolation tests. Previously, isolationtester displayed SQL query results using some ad-hoc code that clearly hadn't had much effort expended on it. Field values longer than 14 characters weren't separated from the next field, and usually caused misalignment of the columns too. Also there was no visual separation of a query's result from subsequent isolationtester output. This made test result files confusing and hard to read. To improve matters, let's use libpq's PQprint() function. Although that's long since unused by psql, it's still plenty good enough for the purpose here. Like `741d7f104`, back-patch to all supported branches, so that this isn't a stumbling block for back-patching isolation test changes.

Improve display of query results in isolation tests.

Previously, isolationtester displayed SQL query results using some
ad-hoc code that clearly hadn't had much effort expended on it.
Field values longer than 14 characters weren't separated from
the next field, and usually caused misalignment of the columns
too.  Also there was no visual separation of a query's result
from subsequent isolationtester output.  This made test result
files confusing and hard to read.

To improve matters, let's use libpq's PQprint() function.  Although
that's long since unused by psql, it's still plenty good enough
for the purpose here.

Like 741d7f104, back-patch to all supported branches, so that this
isn't a stumbling block for back-patching isolation test changes.

Introduce logical decoding.

This feature, building on previous commits, allows the write-ahead log
stream to be decoded into a series of logical changes; that is,
inserts, updates, and deletes and the transactions which contain them.
It is capable of handling decoding even across changes to the schema
of the effected tables.  The output format is controlled by a
so-called "output plugin"; an example is included.  To make use of

modified to produce output in the format appropriate to that system,
and to perform filtering.

Currently, information can be extracted from the logical decoding
system only via SQL; future commits will add the ability to stream
changes via walsender.
