When told to process all databases, clusterdb, reindexdb, and vacuumdb
would reconnect by replacing their --maintenance-db parameter with the
name of the target database. If that parameter is a connstring (which
has been allowed for a long time, though we failed to document that
before this patch), we'd lose any other options it might specify, for
example SSL or GSS parameters, possibly resulting in failure to connect.
Thus, this is the same bug as commit a45bc8a4f fixed in pg_dump and
pg_restore. We can fix it in the same way, by using libpq's rules for
handling multiple "dbname" parameters to add the target database name
separately. I chose to apply the same refactoring approach as in that
patch, with a struct to handle the command line parameters that need to
be passed through to connectDatabase. (Maybe someday we can unify the
very similar functions here and in pg_dump/pg_restore.)
Per Peter Eisentraut's comments on bug #16604. Back-patch to all
supported branches.

Originally, this code was duplicated in src/bin/psql/ and
src/bin/scripts/, but it can be useful for other frontend applications,
like pgbench. This refactoring offers the possibility to setup a custom
callback which would get called in the signal handler for SIGINT or when
the interruption console events happen on Windows.

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.

vacuumdb would use a catalog query only when the command caller does not
define a list of tables. Switching to a catalog table represents two
advantages:
- Relation existence check can happen before running any VACUUM or
ANALYZE query. Before this change, if multiple relations are defined
using --table, the utility would fail only after processing the
firstly-defined ones, which may be a long some depending on the size of
the relation. This adds checks for the relation names, and does
nothing, at least yet, for the attribute names.
- More filtering options can become available for the utility user.
These options, which may be introduced later on, are based on the
relation size or the relation age, and need to be made available even if
the user does not list any specific table with --table.

This makes the client programs behave as documented regardless of the
connect-time search_path and regardless of user-created objects. Today,
a malicious user with CREATE permission on a search_path schema can take
control of certain of these clients' queries and invoke arbitrary SQL
functions under the client identity, often a superuser. This is
exploitable in the default configuration, where all users have CREATE
privilege on schema "public".
This changes behavior of user-defined code stored in the database, like
pg_index.indexprs and pg_extension_config_dump(). If they reach code
bearing unqualified names, "does not exist" or "no schema has been
selected to create in" errors might appear. Users may fix such errors
by schema-qualifying affected names. After upgrading, consider watching
server logs for these errors.
The --table arguments of src/bin/scripts clients have been lax; for
example, "vacuumdb -Zt pg_am\;CHECKPOINT" performed a checkpoint. That
now fails, but for now, "vacuumdb -Zt 'pg_am(amname);CHECKPOINT'" still
performs a checkpoint.
Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions).

Security: CVE-2018-1058
Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they
flow past the right margin.
By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are
within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding
left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the
continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin,
then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin,
if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of
the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations
unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column
limit.
This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers.
Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized
lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.
Commit e3860ffa4d wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.
Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.

This reverts most of commit 83dec5a71 in favor of having connectDatabase()
store the possibly-reusable password in a static variable, similar to the
coding we've had for a long time in pg_dump's version of that function.
To avoid possible problems with unwanted password reuse, make callers
specify whether it's reasonable to attempt to re-use the password.
This is a wash for cases where re-use isn't needed, but it is far simpler
for callers that do want that. Functionally there should be no difference.
Even though we're past RC1, it seems like a good idea to back-patch this
into 9.5, like the prior commit. Otherwise, if there are any third-party
users of connectDatabase(), they'll have to deal with an API change in
9.5 and then another one in 9.6.

Having the script prompt for passwords over and over was a preexisting
problem when it processed multiple databases or when it processed
multiple analyze stages, but the parallel mode introduced in commit
a179232047 made it worse.
Fix the annoyance by keeping a copy of the password used by the first
connection that requires one. Since users can (currently) only have a
single password, there's no need for more complex arrangements (such as
remembering one password per database).

Previously, lookups of non-existent user names could return "Success";
it will now return "User does not exist" by resetting errno. This also
centralizes the user name lookup code in libpgport.
Report and analysis by Nicolas Marchildon; patch by me
libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the
various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate
implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's
intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better
to keep them separate.
The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc
and friends, which many frontend programs were already using.
At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions
for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can
also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in
the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of
MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of
performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres
so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the
previous one.
This lets us clean up some places that were already with
localized hacks.
Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by
Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of
that. libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.
We had a number of variants on the theme of "malloc or die", with the
majority named like "pg_malloc", but by no means all. Standardize on the
names pg_malloc, pg_malloc0, pg_realloc, pg_strdup. Get rid of pg_calloc
entirely in favor of using pg_malloc0.
This is an essentially cosmetic change, so no back-patch. (I did find
a couple of places where psql and pg_dump were using plain malloc or
strdup instead of the pg_ versions, but they don't look significant
enough to bother back-patching.)
If unable to connect to "postgres", try "template1". This allows things to
work more smoothly in the case where the postgres database has been
dropped. And just in case that's not good enough, also allow the user to
specify a maintenance database to be used for the initial connection, to
cover the case where neither postgres nor template1 is suitable.

we never touch the variable anyway.
