This commit improves the tests of pg_walinspect on a few things:
- Remove aggregates for queries that should fail. If the code is
reworked in such a way that the behavior of these queries is changed,
we would get more input from them, written this way.
- Expect at least one record reported in the valid queries doing scans
across ranges, rather than zero records.
- Adjust a few comments, for consistency.

* Commit 3048898e dropped -ING from PHJ wait event names. Update the
corresponding barrier phases names to match.
* Rename the "DONE" phases to "FREE". That's symmetrical with
"ALLOCATE", and names the activity that actually happens in that phase
(as we do for the other phases) rather than a state. The bug fixed by
commit 8d578b9b might have been more obvious with this name.
* Rename the batch/bucket growth barriers' "ALLOCATE" phases to
"REALLOCATE", a better description of what they do.
* Update the high level comments about phases to highlight phases
are executed by a single process with an asterisk (mostly memory
management phases).
No behavior change, as this is just improving internal identifiers. The
only user-visible sign of this is that a couple of wait events' display
names change from "...Allocate" to "...Reallocate" in pg_stat_activity,
to stay in sync with the internal names.

Currently, in read committed transaction isolation mode (default), we have the
following sequence of actions when tuple_update()/tuple_delete() finds
the tuple updated by concurrent transaction.
1. Attempt to update/delete tuple with tuple_update()/tuple_delete(), which
returns TM_Updated.
2. Lock tuple with tuple_lock().
3. Re-evaluate plan qual (recheck if we still need to update/delete and
calculate the new tuple for update).
4. Second attempt to update/delete tuple with tuple_update()/tuple_delete().
This attempt should be successful, since the tuple was previously locked.
This patch eliminates step 2 by taking the lock during first
tuple_update()/tuple_delete() call. Heap table access method saves some
efforts by checking the updated tuple once instead of twice. Future
undo-based table access methods, which will start from the latest row version,
can immediately place a lock there.
The code in nodeModifyTable.c is simplified by removing the nested switch/case.

While testing commit 3e51b278d, I noted that initdb leaks about a
megabyte worth of data due to the sloppy bookkeeping in its
string-manipulating code. That's not a huge amount on modern machines,
but it's still kind of annoying, and it's easy to fix by recognizing
that we might as well treat these arrays of strings as
modifiable-in-place. There's no caller that cares about preserving
the old state of the array after replace_token or replace_guc_value.
With this fix, valgrind sees only a few hundred bytes leaked during

As demonstrated by David Johnston, the Memoize cache hit ratio calculation
wasn't quite correct.
This change only affects the estimated hit ratio when the estimated number
of entries to cache is estimated not to fit inside the cache. For
example, if we expect 2000 distinct cache key values and only expect to be
able to cache 1000 of those at once due to memory constraints, with an
estimate of 10000 calls, if we could store all entries then the hit ratio
should be 80% to account for the first 2000 of the 10000 calls to be a
cache miss due to the value not being cached yet. If we can only store
1000 entries for each of the 2000 distinct possible values at once then
the 80% should be reduced by half to make the final estimate of 40%.
Previously, the calculation would have produced an estimated hit ratio of
30%, which wasn't correct.

With unlucky timing and parallel_leader_participation=off (not the
default), PHJ could attempt to access per-batch shared state just as it
was being freed. There was code intended to prevent that by checking
for a cleared pointer, but it was racy. Fix, by introducing an extra
barrier phase. The new phase PHJ_BUILD_RUNNING means that it's safe to
access the per-batch state to find a batch to help with, and
PHJ_BUILD_DONE means that it is too late. The last to detach will free
the array of per-batch state as before, but now it will also atomically
advance the phase, so that late attachers can avoid the hazard. This
mirrors the way per-batch hash tables are freed (see phases
PHJ_BATCH_PROBING and PHJ_BATCH_DONE).
An earlier attempt to fix this (commit 3b8981b6, later reverted) missed
one special case. When the inner side is empty (the "empty inner
optimization), the build barrier would only make it to
PHJ_BUILD_HASHING_INNER phase before workers attempted to detach from
the hashtable. In that case, fast-forward the build barrier to
PHJ_BUILD_RUNNING before proceeding, so that our later assertions hold
and we can still negotiate who is cleaning up.
Revealed by build farm failures, where BarrierAttach() failed a sanity
check assertion, because the memory had been clobbered by dsa_free().
In non-assert builds, the result could be a segmentation fault.

@extschema:name@ extends the existing @extschema@ feature so that
we can also insert the schema name of some required extension,
thus making cross-extension references robust even if they are in
different schemas.
However, this has the same hazard as @extschema@: if the schema
name is embedded literally in an installed object, rather than being
looked up once during extension script execution, then it's no longer
safe to relocate the other extension to another schema. To deal with
that without restricting things unnecessarily, add a "no_relocate"
option to extension control files. This allows an extension to
specify that it cannot handle relocation of some of its required
extensions, even if in themselves those extensions are relocatable.

The Memoize executor node stores the cache key values along with the
tuple(s) which were found in the outer node which match each key value,
however, when the planner tried to estimate how many entries could be
stored in the cache, it didn't take into account that the cache key must
also be stored. In many cases, this won't make a large difference as the
key is likely small in comparison to the tuple(s) being stored, however,
it's not impossible to craft cases where the key could take more memory
than the tuple(s) stored for it.
Here we adjust the planner so it takes into account the estimated amount
of memory to store the cache key. Effectively, this change will reduce
the estimated cache hit ratio when it's thought that not all items will
fit in the cache, thus Memoize will become more expensive in such cases.
The executor already takes into account the memory consumed by the cache
key, so here we only need to adjust the planner.

When probing the Memoize cache to check if the current cache key values
exist in the cache, we perform an evaluation of the expressions making up
the cache key before probing the hash table for those values. This
operation could leak memory as it is possible that the cache key is an
expression which requires allocation of memory, as was the case in bug
17844.
Here we fix this by correctly switching to the per tuple context before
evaluating the cache expressions so that the memory is freed next time the
per tuple context is reset.

Hash partitioning on an enum is problematic because the hash codes are
derived from the OIDs assigned to the enum values, which will almost
certainly be different after a dump-and-reload than they were before.
This means that some rows probably end up in different partitions than
before, causing restore to fail because of partition constraint
violations. (pg_upgrade dodges this problem by using hacks to force
the enum values to keep the same OIDs, but that's not possible nor
desirable for pg_dump.)
Users can work around that by specifying --load-via-partition-root,
but since that's a dump-time not restore-time decision, one might
find out the need for it far too late. Instead, teach pg_dump to
apply that option automatically when dealing with a partitioned
table that has hash-on-enum partitioning.
Also deal with a pre-existing issue for --load-via-partition-root
mode: in a parallel restore, we try to TRUNCATE target tables just
before loading them, in order to enable some backend optimizations.
This is bad when using --load-via-partition-root because (a) we're
likely to suffer deadlocks from restore jobs trying to restore rows
into other partitions than they came from, and (b) if we miss getting
a deadlock we might still lose data due to a TRUNCATE removing rows
from some already-completed restore job.
The fix for this is conceptually simple: just don't TRUNCATE if we're
dealing with a --load-via-partition-root case. The tricky bit is for
pg_restore to identify those cases. In dumps using COPY commands we
can inspect each COPY command to see if it targets the nominal target
table or some ancestor. However, in dumps using INSERT commands it's
pretty impractical to examine the INSERTs in advance. To provide a
solution for that going forward, modify pg_dump to mark TABLE DATA
items that are using --load-via-partition-root with a comment.
(This change also responds to a complaint from Robert Haas that
the dump output for --load-via-partition-root is pretty confusing.)
pg_restore checks for the special comment as well as checking the
COPY command if present. This will fail to identify the combination
of --load-via-partition-root and --inserts in pre-existing dump files,
but that should be a pretty rare case in the field. If it does
happen you will probably get a deadlock failure that you can work
around by not using parallel restore, which is the same as before
this bug fix.
Having done this, there seems no remaining reason for the alarmism
in the pg_dump man page about combining --load-via-partition-root
with parallel restore, so remove that warning.
Patch by me; thanks to Julien Rouhaud for review. Back-patch to

Since commit 7627b91cd5, libpq has used FD_CLOEXEC so that sockets
wouldn't be leaked to subprograms. With enough bad luck, a
multi-threaded program might fork in between the socket() and fcntl()

separate call. While here, we might as well do the same for
SOCK_NONBLOCK, to save another syscall.
These flags are expected to appear in the next revision of the POSIX
standard, specifically to address this problem. Our Unixoid targets
except macOS and AIX have had them for a long time, and macOS would
hopefully use guarded availability to roll them out, so it seems enough
to use a simple ifdef test for availability until we hear otherwise.
