For example, row tracking for CTAS/COPY was looking at the number of plans, which was not necessary, or level tracking was mixed with checks on planner counts. This commit refactors the tests of pg_stat_statements, by moving test cases out of pg_stat_statements.sql into their own file, as of: - Planning-related tests in planning.sql, for [re]plan counts and top-level handling. These depend on pg_stat_statements.track_planning. - Utilities in utility.sql (pg_stat_statements.track_utility), that includes now the tests for: -- Row tracking for CTAS, CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW, COPY. -- Basic utility statements. -- SET statements. - Tracking level, depending on pg_stat_statements.track. This part has been looking at scenarios with DO blocks, PL functions and SQL functions. pg_stat_statements.sql (still named the same for now) still includes some checks for role-level tracking and WAL generation metrics, that ought to become independent in the long term for clarity. While on it, this switches the order of the attributes when querying pg_stat_statements, the query field becoming last. This makes much easier the tracking of changes related to normalization, as queries are the only variable-length attributes queried (unaligned mode would be one extra choice, but that reduces the checks on the other fields). Test scenarios and their results match exactly with what was happening before this commit in terms of calls, number of plans, number of rows, cached data or level tracking, so this has no effect on the coverage in terms of what is produced by the reports in the table pg_stat_statements. A follow-up patch will extend more the tests of pg_stat_statements around utilities, so this split creates a foundation for this purpose, without complicating more pg_stat_statements.sql.

Refactor tests of pg_stat_statements for planning, utility and level tracking

pg_stat_statements.sql acts as the main file for all the core tests of
the module, but things have become complicated to follow over the years
as some of the sub-scenarios tested in this file rely on assumptions
that come from completely different areas of it, like a GUC setup or a
relation created previously.  For example, row tracking for CTAS/COPY
was looking at the number of plans, which was not necessary, or level
tracking was mixed with checks on planner counts.

This commit refactors the tests of pg_stat_statements, by moving test
cases out of pg_stat_statements.sql into their own file, as of:
- Planning-related tests in planning.sql, for [re]plan counts and
top-level handling.  These depend on pg_stat_statements.track_planning.
- Utilities in utility.sql (pg_stat_statements.track_utility), that
includes now the tests for:
-- Row tracking for CTAS, CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW, COPY.
-- Basic utility statements.
-- SET statements.
- Tracking level, depending on pg_stat_statements.track.  This part has
been looking at scenarios with DO blocks, PL functions and SQL
functions.

pg_stat_statements.sql (still named the same for now) still includes
some checks for role-level tracking and WAL generation metrics, that
ought to become independent in the long term for clarity.

While on it, this switches the order of the attributes when querying
pg_stat_statements, the query field becoming last.  This makes much
easier the tracking of changes related to normalization, as queries are
the only variable-length attributes queried (unaligned mode would be one
extra choice, but that reduces the checks on the other fields).

Test scenarios and their results match exactly with what was happening
before this commit in terms of calls, number of plans, number of rows,
cached data or level tracking, so this has no effect on the coverage in
terms of what is produced by the reports in the table
pg_stat_statements.  A follow-up patch will extend more the tests of
pg_stat_statements around utilities, so this split creates a foundation
for this purpose, without complicating more pg_stat_statements.sql.
