This reverts commit db0d67db24 and
several follow-on fixes. The idea of making a cost-based choice
of the order of the sorting columns is not fundamentally unsound,
but it requires cost information and data statistics that we don't
really have. For example, relying on procost to distinguish the
relative costs of different sort comparators is pretty pointless
so long as most such comparator functions are labeled with cost 1.0.
Moreover, estimating the number of comparisons done by Quicksort
requires more than just an estimate of the number of distinct values
in the input: you also need some idea of the sizes of the larger
groups, if you want an estimate that's good to better than a factor of
three or so. That's data that's often unknown or not very reliable.
Worse, to arrive at estimates of the number of calls made to the
lower-order-column comparison functions, the code needs to make
estimates of the numbers of distinct values of multiple columns,
which are necessarily even less trustworthy than per-column stats.
Even if all the inputs are perfectly reliable, the cost algorithm
as-implemented cannot offer useful information about how to order
sorting columns beyond the point at which the average group size
is estimated to drop to 1.
Close inspection of the code added by db0d67db2 shows that there
are also multiple small bugs. These could have been fixed, but
there's not much point if we don't trust the estimates to be
accurate in-principle.
Finally, the changes in cost_sort's behavior made for very large
changes (often a factor of 2 or so) in the cost estimates for all
sorting operations, not only those for multi-column GROUP BY.
That naturally changes plan choices in many situations, and there's
precious little evidence to show that the changes are for the better.
Given the above doubts about whether the new estimates are really
trustworthy, it's hard to summon much confidence that these changes
are better on the average.
Since we're hard up against the release deadline for v15, let's
revert these changes for now. We can always try again later.
Note: in v15, I left T_PathKeyInfo in place in nodes.h even though
it's unreferenced. Removing it would be an ABI break, and it seems
a bit late in the release cycle for that.

Backpatch: 15-, where CI was introduced
Commit 34f581c39 intended to ensure that RelationGetBufferForTuple
would acquire a visibility-map page pin in case the otherBuffer's
all-visible bit had become set since we last had lock on that page.
But I missed a case: when we're extending the relation, VM concerns
were dealt with only in the relatively-less-likely case that we
fail to conditionally lock the otherBuffer. I think I'd believed
that we couldn't need to worry about it if the conditional lock
succeeds, which is true for the target buffer; but the otherBuffer
was unlocked for awhile so its bit might be set anyway. So we need
to do the GetVisibilityMapPins dance, and then also recheck the
page's free space, in both cases.

91e9e89dc modified nodeSort.c so that it used datum sorts when the
targetlist of the outer node contained only a single column. That commit
failed to recognise that the Datum returned by tuplesort_getdatum() must
be pfree'd when the type is a byref type. Ronan Dunklau did originally
propose the patch with that restriction, but that, probably through my own
fault, got lost during further development work.
Due to the timing of this report (PG15 RC1 is almost out the door), let's
just restrict the datum sort optimization to apply for byval types only.
We might want to look harder into making this work for byref types in
PG16.

Commit 25936fd46 adjusted things so that the "storeslot" we use
for remapping trigger tuples would have adequate lifespan, but it
neglected to consider the lifespan of the tuple descriptor that
the slot depends on. It turns out that in at least some cases, the
tupdesc we are passing is a refcounted tupdesc, and the refcount for
the slot's reference can get assigned to a resource owner having
different lifespan than the slot does. That leads to an error like
"tupdesc reference 0x7fdef236a1b8 is not owned by resource owner
SubTransaction". Worse, because of a second oversight in the same
commit, we'd try to free the same tupdesc refcount again while
cleaning up after that error, leading to recursive errors and an
"ERRORDATA_STACK_SIZE exceeded" PANIC.
To fix the initial problem, let's just make a non-refcounted copy
of the tupdesc we're supposed to use. That seems likely to guard
against additional problems, since there's no strong reason for
this code to assume that what it's given is a refcounted tupdesc;
in which case there's an independent hazard of the tupdesc having
shorter lifespan than the slot does. (I didn't bother trying to
free said copy, since it should go away anyway when the (sub)
transaction context is cleaned up.)
The other issue can be fixed by making the code added to
AfterTriggerFreeQuery work like the rest of that function, ie be
sure that it doesn't try to free the same slot twice in the event
of recursive error cleanup.
While here, also clean up minor stylistic issues in the test case
added by 25936fd46: don't use "create or replace function", as any
name collision within the tests is likely to have ill effects
that that won't mask; and don't use function names as generic as
trigger_function1, especially if you're not going to drop them
at the end of the test stanza.

Commit 4fb5c794e intended to add coverage of some ambuildempty
methods that were not getting reached, without removing any
test coverage. However, by changing a temp table to unlogged
it managed to negate the intent of 4c51a2d1e, which means that
we didn't have reliable test coverage of ginvacuum.c anymore.
As things stand, much of that file might or might not get reached
depending on timing, which seems pretty undesirable.
Although this is only clearly broken for the GIN test, it seems
best to revert 4fb5c794e altogether and instead add bespoke test
cases covering unlogged indexes for these four AMs. We don't
need to do very much with them, so the extra tests are cheap.
(Note that btree, hash, and bloom already have similar test cases,
so they need no additional work.)
We can also undo dec8ad367. Since the testing deficiency that that
hacked around was later fixed by 2f2e24d90, let's intentionally leave
an unlogged table behind to improve test coverage in the modules that
use the regression database for other test purposes. (The case I used
also leaves an unlogged sequence behind.)

faulty test came in.

Because index creation does not go through heap_create_with_catalog() we
didn't call pgstat_create_relation(), leading to index stats of a newly
created realtion not getting dropped during rollback. To fix, move the
pgstat_create_relation() to heap_create(), which indexes do use.
Similarly, because dropping an index does not go through
heap_drop_with_catalog(), we didn't drop index stats when the transaction
dropping an index committed. Here there's no convenient common path for
indexes and relations, so index_drop() now calls pgstat_drop_relation().
Add tests for transactional index stats handling.

We previously thought that allowing such cases can confuse users when they
specify DROP TABLES IN SCHEMA but that doesn't seem to be the case based
on discussion. This helps to uplift the restriction during
ALTER TABLE ... SET SCHEMA which used to ensure that we couldn't end up
with a publication having both a schema and the same schema's table.
To allow this, we need to forbid having any schema on a publication if
column lists on a table are specified (and vice versa). This is because
otherwise we still need a restriction during ALTER TABLE ... SET SCHEMA to
forbid cases where it could lead to a publication having both a schema and
the same schema's table with column list.

This may be a bit too subtle, but removing that word from there makes
this clause no longer a perfect parallel of the GRANT variant "ALL
TABLES IN SCHEMA": indeed, for publications what we record is the schema
itself, not the tables therein, which means that any tables added to the
schema in the future are also published. This is completely different
to what GRANT does, which is affect only the tables that exist when the
command is executed.

The bounds hardcoded in compression.c since ffd5365 (minimum at 1 and
maximum at 22) do not match the reality of what zstd is able to
handle, these values being available via ZSTD_maxCLevel() and
ZSTD_minCLevel() at run-time. The maximum of 22 is actually correct
in recent versions, but the minimum was not as the library can go down
to -131720 by design. This commit changes the code to use the run-time
values in the code instead of some hardcoded ones.

Postgres will be able to adapt automatically to such changes thanks to
