The space after '&' was masked by ECPGconnect's skipping spaces

this patch is mostly cosmetic, and we'll just change it in HEAD.

Formerly there were two internal functions in numeric.c to perform
numeric division, div_var() and div_var_fast(). div_var() performed
division exactly to a specified rscale using Knuth's long division
algorithm, while div_var_fast() used the algorithm from the "FM"
library, which approximates each quotient digit using floating-point
arithmetic, and computes a truncated quotient with DIV_GUARD_DIGITS
extra digits. div_var_fast() could be many times faster than
div_var(), but did not guarantee correct results in all cases, and was
therefore only suitable for use in transcendental functions, where
small errors are acceptable.
This commit merges div_var() and div_var_fast() together into a single
function with an extra "exact" boolean parameter, which can be set to
false if the caller is OK with an approximate result. The new function
uses the faster algorithm from the "FM" library, except that when
"exact" is true, it does not truncate the computation with
DIV_GUARD_DIGITS extra digits, but instead performs the full-precision
computation, subtracting off complete multiples of the divisor for
each quotient digit. However, it is able to retain most of the
performance benefits of div_var_fast(), by delaying the propagation of
carries, allowing the inner loop to be auto-vectorized.
Since this may still lead to an inaccurate result, when "exact" is
true, it then inspects the remainder and uses that to adjust the
quotient, if necessary, to make it correct. In practice, the quotient
rarely needs to be adjusted, and never by more than one in the final
digit, though it's difficult to prove that, so the code allows for
larger adjustments, just in case.
In addition, use base-NBASE^2 arithmetic and a 64-bit dividend array,
similar to mul_var(), so that the number of iterations of the outer
loop is roughly halved. Together with the faster algorithm, this makes
div_var() up to around 20 times as fast as the old Knuth algorithm
when "exact" is true, and up to 2 or 3 times as fast as the old
div_var_fast() function when "exact" is false.

If a MERGE command contains WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE actions, the
source relation appears on the outer side of the join. Thus, any Vars
referring to the source in the merge join condition, actions, and
RETURNING list should be marked as nullable by the join, since they
are used in the ModifyTable node above the join. Note that this only
applies to the copy of join condition used in the executor to
distinguish MATCHED from NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE cases. Vars in the
original join condition, inside the join node itself, should not be
marked.
Failure to correctly mark these Vars led to a "wrong varnullingrels"
error in the final stage of query planning, in some circumstances. We
happened to get away without this in all previous tests, since they
all involved a ModifyTable node directly on top of the join node, so
that the top plan targetlist coincided with the output of the join,
and the varnullingrels check was more lax. However, if another plan
node, such as a one-time filter Result node, gets inserted between the
ModifyTable node and the join node, then a stricter check is applied,
which fails.

Guo for review and analysis.

If a MERGE command contains WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE actions, the
merge join condition is used by the executor to distinguish MATCHED
from NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE cases. However, this qual is executed using
the output from the join subplan node, which nulls the output from the
source relation in the not matched case, and so the result may be
incorrect if the join condition is "non-strict" -- for example,
something like "src.col IS NOT DISTINCT FROM tgt.col".
Fix this by enhancing the join recheck condition with an additional
"src IS NOT NULL" check, so that it does the right thing when
evaluated using the output from the join subplan.

This commit simplifies CopyFrom() by removing the unnecessary local variable
'skipped', which tracked the number of rows skipped due to on_error = 'ignore'.
That count is already handled by cstate->num_errors, so the 'skipped' variable
was redundant.
Additionally, the condition on_error != COPY_ON_ERROR_STOP is removed.
Since on_error == COPY_ON_ERROR_IGNORE is already checked, and on_error
only has two values (ignore and stop), the additional check was redundant
and made the logic harder to read. Seemingly this was introduced
in preparation for a future patch, but the current checks don’t offer
clear value and have been removed to improve readability.

Previously, when the on_error option was set to ignore, the COPY command
would always log NOTICE messages for input rows discarded due to
data type incompatibility. Users had no way to suppress these messages.
This commit introduces a new log_verbosity setting, 'silent',
which prevents the COPY command from emitting NOTICE messages
when on_error = 'ignore' is used, even if rows are discarded.
This feature is particularly useful when processing malformed files
frequently, where a flood of NOTICE messages can be undesirable.
For example, when frequently loading malformed files via the COPY command
or querying foreign tables using file_fdw (with an upcoming patch to
add on_error support for file_fdw), users may prefer to suppress
these messages to reduce log noise and improve clarity.

This commit addresses two issues related to the manipulation of the
partition constraint expression list in ATExecAttachPartition().
First, the current use of list_concat() to combine the partition's
constraint (retrieved via get_qual_from_partbound()) with the parent
table’s partition constraint can lead to memory safety issues. After
calling list_concat(), the original constraint (partBoundConstraint)
might no longer be safe to access, as list_concat() may free or modify
it.
Second, there's a logical error in constructing the constraint for
validating against the default partition. The current approach
incorrectly includes a negated version of the parent table's partition
constraint, which is redundant, as it always evaluates to false for
rows in the default partition.
To resolve these issues, list_concat() is replaced with
list_concat_copy(), ensuring that partBoundConstraint remains unchanged
and can be safely reused when constructing the validation constraint
for the default partition.
This fix is not applied to back-branches, as there is no live bug and
the issue has not caused any reported problems in practice.
Nitin Jadhav posted a patch to address the memory safety issue, but I
decided to follow Alvaro Herrera's suggestion from the initial
discussion, as it allows us to fix both the memory safety and logical
issues.

The following commands were allowed on partitioned tables, with
different effects:
1) ALTER TABLE SET [UN]LOGGED did not issue an error, and did not update
pg_class.relpersistence.
2) CREATE UNLOGGED TABLE was working with pg_class.relpersistence marked

This commit causes the commands mentioned above to fail for partitioned
tables, instead.
pg_dump is tweaked so as partitioned tables marked as UNLOGGED ignore

Use pqParseIntParam (nee parse_int_param) instead of using strtol
directly. This allows trailing whitespace, which the previous coding
didn't, and makes the spelling of the error message consistent with
other similar cases.
This seems to be an oversight in commit e7a221797, which introduced
parse_int_param. That fixed places that were using atoi(), but missed
this place which was randomly using strtol() instead.
Ordinarily I'd consider this minor cleanup not worth back-patching.
However, it seems that ecpg assumes it can add trailing whitespace
to URL parameters, so that use of the keepalives option fails in
that context. Perhaps that's worth improving as a separate matter.

We have always documented that a copy EOF marker (\.) must appear
by itself on a line, and that is how psql interprets the rule.
However, the backend's actual COPY FROM logic only insists that
there not be data between the \. and the following newline.
Any data ahead of the \. is parsed as a final line of input.
It's hard to interpret this as anything but an ancient mistake
that we've faithfully carried forward. Continuing to allow it
is not cost-free, since it could mask client-side bugs that
unnecessarily backslash-escape periods (and thereby risk
accidentally creating an EOF marker). So, let's remove that
provision and throw error if the EOF marker isn't alone on its
line, matching what the documentation has said right along.

LLVM's opaque pointer change began in LLVM 14, but remained optional

PostgreSQL. (That might have been overly cautious, I don't know.)
Now that PostgreSQL 18 has dropped support for LLVM versions < 14, and
since it hasn't been released yet and no extensions or bitcode have been
built against it in the wild yet, we can be more aggressive. We can rip

COMMIT PREPARED removes on-disk 2PC files near its end, but the state
checked if a file is on-disk or not gets read from shared memory while
not holding the two-phase state lock.
Because of that, there was a small window where a second backend doing a
PREPARE TRANSACTION could reuse the GlobalTransaction put back into the
2PC free list by the COMMIT PREPARED, overwriting the "ondisk" flag read
afterwards by the COMMIT PREPARED to decide if its on-disk two-phase
state file should be removed, preventing the file deletion.
This commit fixes this issue so as the "ondisk" flag in the
GlobalTransaction is read while holding the two-phase state lock, not
from shared memory after its entry has been added to the free list.
Orphaned two-phase state files flushed to disk after a checkpoint are
discarded at the beginning of recovery. However, a truncation of
pg_xact/ would make the startup process issue a FATAL when it cannot
read the SLRU page holding the state of the transaction whose 2PC file
was orphaned, which is a necessary step to decide if the 2PC file should
be removed or not. Removing manually the file would be necessary in
this case.

Since backslash is (typically) not special in CSV data, we should
not be treating \. as special either. The server historically did
this to keep CSV and TEXT modes more alike and to support V2 protocol;
but V2 protocol is long dead, and the inconsistency with CSV standards
is annoying. Remove that behavior in CopyReadLineText, and make some
minor consequent code simplifications.
On the client side, we need to fix psql so that it does not check
for \. except when reading data from STDIN (that is, the script
source). We must do that regardless of TEXT/CSV mode or there is
no way to end the COPY short of script EOF. Also, be careful
not to send the \. to the server in that case.
This is a small compatibility break in that other applications
beside psql may need similar adjustment. Also, using an older
version of psql with a v18 server may result in misbehavior
during CSV-mode COPY IN.

(about commit 9139aa1942, previously not registered)
This is a continuation of work like 11c34b342b, done to reduce the
bloat of pg_stat_statements by applying more normalization to query
entries. This commit is able to detect and normalize values in
VariableSetStmt, resulting in:
SET conf_param = $1
Compared to other parse nodes, VariableSetStmt is embedded in much more
places in the parser, impacting many query patterns in
pg_stat_statements. A custom jumble function is used, with an extra
field in the node to decide if arguments should be included in the
jumbling or not, a location field being not enough for this purpose.
This approach allows for a finer tuning.
Clauses relying on one or more keywords are not normalized, for example:
* DEFAULT
* FROM CURRENT
* List of keywords. SET SESSION CHARACTERISTICS AS TRANSACTION,
where it is critical to differentiate different sets of options, is a
good example of why normalization should not happen.
Some queries use VariableSetStmt for some subclauses with SET, that also
have their values normalized:
- ALTER DATABASE
- ALTER ROLE
- ALTER SYSTEM
- CREATE/ALTER FUNCTION
ba90eac7a9 has added test coverage for most of the existing SET
patterns. The expected output of these tests shows the difference this
commit creates. Normalization could be perhaps applied to more portions
of the grammar but what is done here is conservative, and good enough as
a starting point.

"pg_catalog, pg_temp" while running the query. The docs for the
other commands that restrict search_path mention it, but the page
for CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW does not. Fix that.

Backpatch-through: 17
Up to now, remove_rel_from_query() has done a pretty shoddy job
of updating our where-needed bitmaps (per-Var attr_needed and
per-PlaceHolderVar ph_needed relid sets). It removed direct mentions
of the to-be-removed baserel and outer join, which is the minimum
amount of effort needed to keep the data structures self-consistent.
But it didn't account for the fact that the removed join ON clause
probably mentioned Vars of other relations, and those Vars might now
not be needed as high up in the join tree as before. It's easy to
show cases where this results in failing to remove a lower outer join
that could also have been removed.
To fix, recalculate the where-needed bitmaps from scratch after
each successful join removal. This sounds expensive, but it seems
to add only negligible planner runtime. (We cheat a little bit
by preserving "relation 0" entries in the bitmaps, allowing us to
skip re-scanning the targetlist and HAVING qual.)
The submitted test case drew attention because we had successfully
optimized away the lower join prior to v16. I suspect that that's
somewhat accidental and there are related cases that were never
optimized before and now can be. I've not tried to come up with
one, though.
Perhaps we should back-patch this into v16 and v17 to repair the
performance regression. However, since it took a year for anyone
to notice the problem, it can't be affecting too many people. Let's
let the patch bake awhile in HEAD, and see if we get more complaints.
Per bug #18627 from Mikaël Gourlaouen. No back-patch for now.

This also works for compressed tar-format backups. However, -n must be
used, because we use pg_waldump to verify WAL, and it doesn't yet know
how to verify WAL that is stored inside of a tarfile.
