IDENT_USERNAME_MAX is the maximum length of the information returned
by an ident server, per RFC 1413. Using it as the buffer size in peer
authentication is inappropriate. It was done here because of the
historical relationship between peer and ident authentication. To
reduce confusion between the two authenticaton methods and disentangle
their code, use a dynamically allocated buffer instead.

For historical reasons, the functions for peer authentication were

separate, so give them their own section headings.
The additional newline seems to have accidentally been introduced in
2c03216d83, in 9.5. The newline is only issued when an FPW is
present for the block reference.
While there could be an argument that removing the newlines in the
back branches could cause a problem for somebody parsing the
pg_waldump output, the likelihood of that seems small enough. It seems
at least equally likely that the randomness of when newlines are
issued causes problems.

When cancelling REINDEX CONCURRENTLY after swapping the old and new
indexes (for example interruption at step 5), the old index remains
around and is marked as invalid. The old index should also be manually
droppable to clean up the parent relation from any invalid indexes still
remaining. For a partition index reindexed, pg_class.relispartition was
not getting updated, causing the index to not be droppable as DROP INDEX
would look for dependencies in a partition tree, which do not exist
anymore after the swap phase is done.
The fix here is simple: when swapping the old and new indexes, make sure
that pg_class.relispartition is correctly switched, similarly to what is
done for the index name.

Teach get_expr_result_type() to manufacture a tuple descriptor directly
from a RowExpr node. If the RowExpr has type RECORD, this is the only
way to get a tupdesc for its result, since even if the rowtype has been
blessed, we don't have its typmod available at this point. (If the
RowExpr has some named composite type, we continue to let the existing
code handle it, since the RowExpr might well not have the correct column
names embedded in it.)
This fixes assorted corner cases illustrated by the added regression

When swapping the dependencies of the old and new indexes, the code has
been correctly switching all links in pg_depend from the old to the new
index for both referencing and referenced entries. However it forgot
the fact that the new index may itself have existing entries in
pg_depend, like references to the parent table attributes. This
resulted in duplicated entries in pg_depend after running REINDEX
CONCURRENTLY.
Fix this problem by removing any existing entries in pg_depend on the
new index before switching the dependencies of the old index to the new
one. More regression tests are added to check the consistency of
entries in pg_depend for indexes, including partition indexes.

When we added the GUC units feature, we didn't make any great effort
to adjust the documentation of individual GUCs; they tended to still
say things like "this is the number of milliseconds that ...", even
though users might prefer to write some other units, and SHOW might
even show the value in other units. Commit 6c9fb69f2 made an effort
to improve this situation, but I thought it made things less readable
by injecting units information in mid-sentence. It also wasn't very
consistent, and did not touch all the GUCs that have units.
To improve matters, standardize on the phrasing "If this value is
specified without units, it is taken as <units>". Also, try to
standardize where this is mentioned, right before the specification
of the default. (In a couple of places, doing that would've required
more rewriting than seemed justified, so I wasn't 100% consistent
about that.) I also tried to use the phrases "amount of time",
"amount of memory", etc rather than describing the contents of GUCs
in other ways, as those were the majority usage in places that weren't
overcommitting to a particular unit. (I left "length of time" alone
in a couple of places, though.)
I failed to resist the temptation to copy-edit some awkward text, too.

It appears that libxml2 doesn't bother to set the "children" field of
an XML_NAMESPACE_DECL node to null; that field just contains garbage.
In v10 and v11, this can result in a crash in XMLTABLE(). The rewrite
done in commit 251cf2e27 fixed this, somewhat accidentally, in v12.
We're not going to back-patch 251cf2e27, however. The case apparently
doesn't have wide use, so rather than risk introducing other problems,
just add a safety check to throw an error.
Even though no bug manifests in v12/HEAD, add the relevant test case
there too, to prevent future regressions.

pgtypeslib_extern.h contained fallback definitions of "bool", "FALSE",
and "TRUE". The latter two are just plain unused, and have been for
awhile. The former came into play only if there wasn't a macro
definition of "bool", which is true only if we aren't using <stdbool.h>.
However, it then defined bool as "char"; since commit d26a810eb that
conflicts with c.h's desire to use "unsigned char". We'd missed seeing
any bad effects of that due to accidental header inclusion order choices,
but dddf4cdc3 exposed that it was problematic.
To fix, let's just get rid of these definitions. They should not be
needed because everyplace in Postgres should be relying on c.h to
provide a definition for type bool. (Note that despite its name,
pgtypeslib_extern.h isn't exposed to any outside code; we don't
install it.)
This doesn't fully resolve the issue, because ecpglib.h is doing
similar things, but that seems to require more thought to fix.

Commit f8e5f156b added private state in postgres.c to track whether
a statement timeout is running. This seems like bad design to me;
timeout.c's private state should be the single source of truth about
that. We already fixed one bug associated with failure to keep those
states in sync (cf. be42015fc), and I've got little faith that we
won't find more in future. So get rid of postgres.c's local variable
by exposing a way to ask timeout.c whether a timeout is running.
(Obviously, such an inquiry is subject to race conditions, but it
seems fine for the purpose at hand.)
To make get_timeout_active() as cheap as possible, add a flag in
the per-timeout struct showing whether that timeout is active.
This allows some small savings elsewhere in timeout.c, mainly
elimination of unnecessary searches of the active_timeouts array.
While at it, fix enable_statement_timeout to not call disable_timeout
when statement_timeout is 0 and the timeout is not running. This
avoids a useless deschedule-and-reschedule-timeouts cycle, which
represents a significant savings (at least one kernel call) when
there is any other active timeout. Right now, there usually isn't,
but there are proposals around to change that.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16035-456e6e69ebfd4374@postgresql.org
Historically, we started the timer (if StatementTimeout > 0) at the
beginning of a simple-Query message and usually let it run until the
end, so that the timeout limit applied to the entire query string,
and intra-string changes of the statement_timeout GUC had no effect.
But, confusingly, a COMMIT within the string would reset the state
and allow a fresh timeout cycle to start with the current setting.
Commit f8e5f156b changed the behavior of statement_timeout for extended
query protocol, and as an apparently-unintended side effect, a change in
the statement_timeout GUC during a multi-statement simple-Query message
might have an effect immediately --- but only if it was going from
"disabled" to "enabled".
This is all pretty confusing, not to mention completely undocumented.
Let's change things so that the timeout is always reset between queries
of a multi-query string, whether they're transaction control commands
or not. Thus the active timeout setting is applied to each query in
the string, separately. This costs a few more cycles if statement_timeout
is active, but it provides much more intuitive behavior, especially if one
changes statement_timeout in one of the queries of the string.
Also, add something to the documentation to explain all this.
Per bug #16035 from Raj Mohite. Although this is a bug fix, I'm hesitant
to back-patch it; conceivably somebody has worked out the old behavior
and is depending on it. (But note that this change should make the
behavior less restrictive in most cases, since the timeout will now
be applied to shorter segments of code.)

Phases 2 (building the new index) and 3 (validating the new index)
checked for interrupts outside a transaction context, having as
consequence to not release session-level locks taken on the parent
relation and the old and new indexes processed. This could for example
be triggered with statement_timeout and a bad timing, and would issue
confusing error messages when shutting down the session still holding
the locks (note that an assertion failure would be triggered first), on
top of more issues with concurrent sessions trying to take a lock that
would interfere with the SHARE UPDATE EXCLUSIVE locks hold here.
This moves all the interruption checks inside a transaction context.
Note that I have manually tested all interruptions to make sure that
invalid indexes can be cleaned up properly. Partition indexes still
have issues on their own with some missing dependency handling, which
will be dealt with in a follow-up patch.

Move the platform-dependent logic that sets CFLAGS_SL from

is determined at configure time and thus is available while running

On a couple of platforms this might save a few microseconds of build
time by eliminating a test that make otherwise has to do over and over.
Otherwise it's pretty much a wash for build purposes; in particular,
this makes no difference to anyone who might be overriding CFLAGS_SL
via a make option.
This patch in itself does nothing with the value and thus should not
change any behavior, though you'll probably have to re-run configure
