This patch started out with the goal of harmonizing various arbitrary
limits on password length, but after awhile a better idea emerged:
let's just get rid of those fixed limits.
recv_password_packet() has an arbitrary limit on the packet size,
which we don't really need, so just drop it. (Note that this doesn't
really affect anything for MD5 or SCRAM password verification, since
those will hash the user's password to something shorter anyway.
It does matter for auth methods that require a cleartext password.)
Likewise remove the arbitrary error condition in pg_saslprep().
The remaining limits are mostly in client-side code that prompts
for passwords. To improve those, refactor simple_prompt() so that
it allocates its own result buffer that can be made as big as
necessary. Actually, it proves best to make a separate routine
pg_get_line() that has essentially the semantics of fgets(), except
that it allocates a suitable result buffer and hence will never
return a truncated line. (pg_get_line has a lot of potential
applications to replace randomly-sized fgets buffers elsewhere,
but I'll leave that for another patch.)
I built pg_get_line() atop stringinfo.c, which requires moving
that code to src/common/; but that seems fine since it was a poor
fit for src/port/ anyway.
This patch is mostly mine, but it owes a good deal to Nathan Bossart
who pressed for a solution to the password length problem and
created a predecessor patch. Also thanks to Peter Eisentraut and
Stephen Frost for ideas and discussion.

Any libpq client can use the header. Clients include backend components
postgres_fdw, dblink, and logical replication apply worker. Back-patch
to v10, because another fix needs this. In released branches, just copy
the header and keep the original.
Both INDEX_CLEANUP and TRUNCATE have been available since v12, and are
enabled by default except if respectively vacuum_index_cleanup and
vacuum_truncate are disabled for a given relation. This change adds
support for disabling these options from vacuumdb.

As it stands, this flag is only set when we've successfully sent a
cancel request, not if we get SIGINT and then fail to send a cancel.
However, for almost all callers, that's the Wrong Thing: we'd prefer
to abort processing after control-C even if no cancel could be sent.
As an example, since commit 1d468b9ad "pgbench -i" fails to give up
sending COPY data even after control-C, if the postmaster has been
stopped, which is clearly not what the code intends and not what anyone
would want. (The fact that it keeps going at all is the fault of a
separate bug in libpq, but not letting CancelRequested become set is
clearly not what we want here.)
The sole exception, as far as I can find, is that scripts_parallel.c's
ParallelSlotsGetIdle tries to consume a query result after issuing a
cancel, which of course might not terminate quickly if no cancel
happened. But that behavior was poorly thought out too. No user of
ParallelSlotsGetIdle tries to continue processing after a cancel,
so there is really no point in trying to clear the connection's state.
Moreover this has the same defect as for other users of cancel.c,
that if the cancel request fails for some reason then we end up with
control-C being completely ignored. (On top of that, select_loop failed
to distinguish clearly between SIGINT and other reasons for select(2)
failing, which means that it's possible that the existing code would
think that a cancel has been sent when it hasn't.)
Hence, redefine CancelRequested as simply meaning that SIGINT was
received. We could add a second flag with the other meaning, but
in the absence of any compelling argument why such a flag is needed,
I think it would just offer an opportunity for future callers to
get it wrong. Also remove the consumeQueryResult call in
ParallelSlotsGetIdle's failure exit. In passing, simplify the
API of select_loop.
It would now be possible to re-unify psql's cancel_pressed with
CancelRequested, partly undoing 5d43c3c54. But I'm not really
convinced that that's worth the trouble, so I left psql alone,
other than fixing a misleading comment.
This code is new in v13 (cf a4fd3aa71), so no need for back-patch.

Includes some manual cleanup of places that pgindent messed up,
most of which weren't per project style anyway.
Notably, it seems some people didn't absorb the style rules of
commit c9d297751, because there were a bunch of new occurrences
of function calls with a newline just after the left paren, all
with faulty expectations about how the rest of the call would get
indented.
OpenBSD falls back to "C" when using an incorrect input with setlocale()

This commit revert the commits to add a test case that tests the 'force'
option when there is an active backend connected to the database being
dropped.
This feature internally sends SIGTERM to all the backends connected to the
database being dropped and then the same is reported to the client. We
found that on Windows, the client end of the socket is not able to read
the data once we close the socket in the server which leads to loss of
error message which is not what we expect. We also observed similar
behavior in other cases like pg_terminate_backend(),
pg_ctl kill TERM <pid>. There are probably a few others like that. The
fix for this requires further study.

FD_SETSIZE is included in sys/select.h per POSIX, and this header
inclusion has been moved to scripts_parallel.c as of 5f38403 without
moving the variable, causing a compilation failure on recent versions of
OpenBSD (6.6 was the version used in the report).
In order to take care of the failure, move FD_SETSIZE directly to
scripts_parallel.c with a wrapper controlling the maximum number of
parallel slots supported, based on a suggestion by Andres Freund.
While on it, reduce the maximum number to be less than FD_SETSIZE,
leaving some room for stdin, stdout and such as they consume some file
descriptors.
The buildfarm did not complain about that, as it happens to only be
an issue on recent versions of OpenBSD and there is no coverage in this
area. 51c3e9f fixed a similar set of issues.

When building a list of relations for a parallel processing of a schema
or a database (or just a single-entry list for the non-parallel case
with the database name), the list is allocated and built on-the-fly for
each database processed, leaking after one database-level reindex is
done. This accumulates leaks when processing all databases, and could
become a visible issue with thousands of relations.
This is fixed by introducing a new routine in simple_list.c to free all
the elements in a simple list made of strings or OIDs. The header of
the list may be using a variable declaration or an allocated pointer,
so we don't have a routine to free this part to keep the interface
simple.
Per report from coverity for an issue introduced by 5ab892c, and
valgrind complains about the leak as well. The idea to introduce a new
routine in simple_list.c is from Tom Lane.

This new option is not compatible with --system as reindexing system

The existing facility of vacuumdb to handle parallel connections into a
given database with an authentication set is moved to a common file in
src/bin/scripts/, named scripts_parallel.c. This introduces a set of
routines to initialize, wait and terminate a set of connections,
simplifying a bit the code of vacuumdb on the way. More routines
related to result handling and database connection are moved to
common.c.
The initial plan is to use that for reindexdb, but it could be applied
to other tools like clusterdb.
While on it, clean up a set of variables "progname" which were defined
as routine arguments for error messages. Since most of the callers have
switched to pg_log_error() and such there is no need for this variable.

The original placement of this module in src/fe_utils/ is ill-considered,
because several src/common/ modules have dependencies on it, meaning that
libpgcommon and libpgfeutils now have mutual dependencies. That makes it
pointless to have distinct libraries at all. The intended design is that
libpgcommon is lower-level than libpgfeutils, so only dependencies from
the latter to the former are acceptable.
We already have the precedent that fe_memutils and a couple of other
modules in src/common/ are frontend-only, so it's not stretching anything
out of whack to treat logging.c as a frontend-only module in src/common/.
To the extent that such modules help provide a common frontend/backend
environment for the rest of common/ to use, it's a reasonable design.
(logging.c does not yet provide an ereport() emulation, but one can
dream.)
Hence, move these files over, and revert basically all of the build-system
changes made by commit cc8d41511. There are no places that need to grow
new dependencies on libpgcommon, further reinforcing the idea that this
is the right solution.

This unifies the various ad hoc logging (message printing, error
printing) systems used throughout the command-line programs.
Features:
- Program name is automatically prefixed.
- Message string does not end with newline. This removes a common
source of inconsistencies and omissions.
- Additionally, a final newline is automatically stripped, simplifying
use of PQerrorMessage() etc., another common source of mistakes.
- I converted error message strings to use %m where possible.
- As a result of the above several points, more translatable message
strings can be shared between different components and between
frontends and backend, without gratuitous punctuation or whitespace
differences.
- There is support for setting a "log level". This is not meant to be
user-facing, but can be used internally to implement debug or
verbose modes.
- Lazy argument evaluation, so no significant overhead if logging at
some level is disabled.
- Some color in the messages, similar to gcc and clang. Set
PG_COLOR=auto to try it out. Some colors are predefined, but can be
customized by setting PG_COLORS.
- Common files (common/, fe_utils/, etc.) can handle logging much more
simply by just using one API without worrying too much about the
context of the calling program, requiring callbacks, or having to
pass "progname" around everywhere.
- Some programs called setvbuf() to make sure that stderr is
unbuffered, even on Windows. But not all programs did that. This
is now done centrally.
Soft goals:
- Reduces vertical space use and visual complexity of error reporting
in the source code.
- Encourages more deliberate classification of messages. For example,
in some cases it wasn't clear without analyzing the surrounding code
whether a message was meant as an error or just an info.
- Concepts and terms are vaguely aligned with popular logging
frameworks such as log4j and Python logging.
This is all just about printing stuff out. Nothing affects program
flow (e.g., fatal exits). The uses are just too varied to do that.
Some existing code had wrappers that do some kind of print-and-exit,
and I adapted those.
I tried to keep the output mostly the same, but there is a lot of
historical baggage to unwind and special cases to consider, and I
might not always have succeeded. One significant change is that
pg_rewind used to write all error messages to stdout. That is now
changed to stderr.
