It seems like a good idea to bypass heap truncation when the wraparound
failsafe mechanism (which was added in commit 1e55e7d1) is in effect.
Deliberately don't bypass heap truncation in the INDEX_CLEANUP=off case,
even though it is similar to the failsafe case. There is already a
separate reloption (and related VACUUM parameter) for that.

Previously you could only use unqualified variable names here.
While that's not a functional deficiency, since only the target
table can be referenced, it's a surprising inconsistency with the
rules for partial-index predicates, on which this syntax is
supposedly modeled.
The fix for that is no harder than passing addToRelNameSpace = true
to addNSItemToQuery. However, it's really pretty bogus for
transformOnConflictArbiter and transformOnConflictClause to be
messing with the namespace item for the target table at all.
It's not theirs to manage, it results in duplicative creations of
namespace items, and transformOnConflictClause wasn't even doing
it quite correctly (that coding resulted in two nsitems for the
target table, since it hadn't cleaned out the existing one).
Hence, make transformInsertStmt responsible for setting up the
target nsitem once for both these clauses and RETURNING.
Also, arrange for ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE's "excluded" pseudo-relation
to be added to the rangetable before we run transformOnConflictArbiter.
This produces a more helpful HINT if someone writes "excluded.col"
in the arbiter expression.
Per bug #16958 from Lukas Eder. Although I agree this is a bug,
the consequences are hardly severe, so no back-patch.

Mention that there are multiple TOAST compression methods and that the
compression method used is stored in a TOAST pointer along with the
other information that was stored there previously. Add a reference to
the documentation for default_toast_compression, where the supported
methods are listed, instead of duplicating that here.
I haven't tried to preserve the text claiming that pglz is "fairly
simple and very fast." I have no view on the veracity of the former
claim, but LZ4 seems to be faster (and to compress better) so it
seems better not to muddy the waters by talking about compression
speed as a strong point of PGLZ.

Most GUC check hooks that inspect database state have special checks
that prevent them from throwing hard errors for state-dependent issues
when source == PGC_S_TEST. This allows, for example,
"ALTER DATABASE d SET default_text_search_config = foo" when the "foo"
configuration hasn't been created yet. Without this, we have problems
during dump/reload or pg_upgrade, because pg_dump has no idea about
possible dependencies of GUC values and can't ensure a safe restore
ordering.
However, check_role() and check_session_authorization() hadn't gotten
the memo about that, and would throw hard errors anyway. It's not
entirely clear what is the use-case for "ALTER ROLE x SET role = y",
but we've now heard two independent complaints about that bollixing
an upgrade, so apparently some people are doing it.
Hence, fix these two functions to act more like other check hooks
with similar needs. (But I did not change their insistence on
being inside a transaction, as it's still not apparent that setting
either GUC from the configuration file would be wise.)
Also fix check_temp_buffers, which had a different form of the disease
of making state-dependent checks without any exception for PGC_S_TEST.
A cursory survey of other GUC check hooks did not find any more issues
of this ilk. (There are a lot of interdependencies among
PGC_POSTMASTER and PGC_SIGHUP GUCs, which may be a bad idea, but
they're not relevant to the immediate concern because they can't be
set via ALTER ROLE/DATABASE.)

Previously, get_cached_rowtype() cached a pointer to a reference-counted
tuple descriptor from the typcache, relying on the ExprContextCallback
mechanism to release the tupdesc refcount when the expression tree
using the tupdesc was destroyed. This worked fine when it was designed,
but the introduction of within-DO-block COMMITs broke it. The refcount
is logged in a transaction-lifespan resource owner, but plpgsql won't
destroy simple expressions made within the DO block (before its first
commit) until the DO block is exited. That results in a warning about
a leaked tupdesc refcount when the COMMIT destroys the original resource
owner, and then an error about the active resource owner not holding a
matching refcount when the expression is destroyed.
To fix, get rid of the need to have a shutdown callback at all, by
instead caching a pointer to the relevant typcache entry. Those
survive for the life of the backend, so we needn't worry about the
pointer becoming stale. (For registered RECORD types, we can still
cache a pointer to the tupdesc, knowing that it won't change for the
life of the backend.) This mechanism has been in use in plpgsql
and expandedrecord.c since commit 4b93f5799, and seems to work well.
This change requires modifying the ExprEvalStep structs used by the
relevant expression step types, which is slightly worrisome for
back-patching. However, there seems no good reason for extensions
to be familiar with the details of these particular sub-structs.
Per report from Rohit Bhogate. Back-patch to v11 where within-DO-block

heap_update needs to clear any existing "all visible" flag on
the old tuple's page (and on the new page too, if different).
Per coding rules, to do this it must acquire pin on the appropriate
visibility-map page while not holding exclusive buffer lock;
which creates a race condition since someone else could set the
flag whenever we're not holding the buffer lock. The code is
supposed to handle that by re-checking the flag after acquiring
buffer lock and retrying if it became set. However, one code
path through heap_update itself, as well as one in its subroutine
RelationGetBufferForTuple, failed to do this. The end result,
in the unlikely event that a concurrent VACUUM did set the flag
while we're transiently not holding lock, is a non-recurring
"PANIC: wrong buffer passed to visibilitymap_clear" failure.
This has been seen a few times in the buildfarm since recent VACUUM
changes that added code paths that could set the all-visible flag
while holding only exclusive buffer lock. Previously, the flag
was (usually?) set only after doing LockBufferForCleanup, which
would insist on buffer pin count zero, thus preventing the flag
from becoming set partway through heap_update. However, it's
clear that it's heap_update not VACUUM that's at fault here.
What's less clear is whether there is any hazard from these bugs
in released branches. heap_update is certainly violating API
expectations, but if there is no code path that can set all-visible
without a cleanup lock then it's only a latent bug. That's not
100% certain though, besides which we should worry about extensions
or future back-patch fixes that could introduce such code paths.
I chose to back-patch to v12. Fixing RelationGetBufferForTuple
before that would require also back-patching portions of older
fixes (notably 0d1fe9f74), which is more code churn than seems
prudent to fix a hypothetical issue.

There are hacks in parse_coerce.c to push down a requested coercion
to below any CollateExpr that may appear. However, we did that even
if the requested data type is non-collatable, leading to an invalid
expression tree in which CollateExpr is applied to a non-collatable
type. The fix is just to drop the CollateExpr altogether, reasoning
that it's useless.
This bug is ten years old, dating to the original addition of
COLLATE support. The lack of field complaints suggests that there
aren't a lot of user-visible consequences. We noticed the problem
because it would trigger an assertion in DefineVirtualRelation if
the invalid structure appears as an output column of a view; however,
in a non-assert build, you don't see a crash just a (subtly incorrect)
complaint about applying collation to a non-collatable type. I found
that by putting the incorrect structure further down in a view, I could
make a view definition that would fail dump/reload, per the added
regression test case. But CollateExpr doesn't do anything at run-time,
so this likely doesn't lead to any really exciting consequences.

Using Roman numbers (via "RM" or "rm") for a conversion to calculate a
number of months has never considered the case of negative numbers,
where a conversion could easily cause out-of-bound memory accesses. The
conversions in themselves were not completely consistent either, as
specifying 12 would result in NULL, but it should mean XII.
This commit reworks the conversion calculation to have a more
consistent behavior:
- If the number of months and years is 0, return NULL.
- If the number of months is positive, return the exact month number.
- If the number of months is negative, do a backward calculation, with
-1 meaning December, -2 November, etc.

ExecuteTruncate() filters out the duplicate tables specified
in the TRUNCATE command, for example in the case where "TRUNCATE foo, foo"
is executed. Such duplicate tables obviously don't need to be opened
and closed because they are skipped. But previously it always opened
the tables before checking whether they were duplicated ones or not,
and then closed them if they were. That is, the duplicated tables were
opened and closed unnecessarily.
This commit changes ExecuteTruncate() so that it opens the table
after it confirms that table is not duplicated one, which leads to
avoid unnecessary table open/close.
Do not back-patch because such unnecessary table open/close is not
a bug though it exists in older versions.

This commit introduces new foreign data wrapper API for TRUNCATE.
It extends TRUNCATE command so that it accepts foreign tables as
the targets to truncate and invokes that API. Also it extends postgres_fdw
so that it can issue TRUNCATE command to foreign servers, by adding
new routine for that TRUNCATE API.
The information about options specified in TRUNCATE command, e.g.,
ONLY, CACADE, etc is passed to FDW via API. The list of foreign tables to
truncate is also passed to FDW. FDW truncates the foreign data sources
that the passed foreign tables specify, based on those information.
For example, postgres_fdw constructs TRUNCATE command using them
and issues it to the foreign server.
For performance, TRUNCATE command invokes the FDW routine for
TRUNCATE once per foreign server that foreign tables to truncate belong to.

ScalarArrayOpExprs with "useOr=true" and a set of Consts on the righthand
side have traditionally been evaluated by using a linear search over the
array. When these arrays contain large numbers of elements then this
linear search could become a significant part of execution time.
Here we add a new method of evaluating ScalarArrayOpExpr expressions to
allow them to be evaluated by first building a hash table containing each
element, then on subsequent evaluations, we just probe that hash table to
determine if there is a match.
The planner is in charge of determining when this optimization is possible
and it enables it by setting hashfuncid in the ScalarArrayOpExpr. The
executor will only perform the hash table evaluation when the hashfuncid
is set.
This means that not all cases are optimized. For example CHECK constraints
containing an IN clause won't go through the planner, so won't get the
hashfuncid set. We could maybe do something about that at some later
date. The reason we're not doing it now is from fear that we may slow
down cases where the expression is evaluated only once. Those cases can
be common, for example, a single row INSERT to a table with a CHECK
constraint containing an IN clause.
In the planner, we enable this when there are suitable hash functions for
the ScalarArrayOpExpr's operator and only when there is at least
MIN_ARRAY_SIZE_FOR_HASHED_SAOP elements in the array. The threshold is
currently set to 9.

Teach xlogreader.c to decode its output into a circular buffer, to
support optimizations based on looking ahead.
* XLogReadRecord() works as before, consuming records one by one, and
allowing them to be examined via the traditional XLogRecGetXXX()
macros.
* An alternative new interface XLogNextRecord() is added that returns
pointers to DecodedXLogRecord structs that can be examined directly.
* XLogReadAhead() provides a second cursor that lets you see
further ahead, as long as data is available and there is enough space
in the decoding buffer. This returns DecodedXLogRecord pointers to the
caller, but also adds them to a queue of records that will later be
consumed by XLogNextRecord()/XLogReadRecord().
The buffer's size is controlled with wal_decode_buffer_size. The buffer
could potentially be placed into shared memory, for future projects.
Large records that don't fit in the circular buffer are called
"oversized" and allocated separately with palloc().
