Previously, when ON_ERROR was set to 'ignore', the COPY command
would skip all rows with data type conversion errors, with no way to
limit the number of skipped rows before failing.
This commit introduces the REJECT_LIMIT option, allowing users to
specify the maximum number of erroneous rows that can be skipped.
If more rows encounter data type conversion errors than allowed by
REJECT_LIMIT, the COPY command will fail with an error, even when
ON_ERROR = 'ignore'.

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.

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
as initially defined, but partitions did not inherit the UNLOGGED
property, which was confusing.
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
the option when dumped from older server versions. pgbench needs a
tweak for --unlogged and --partitions=N to ignore the UNLOGGED option on
the partitioned tables created, its partitions still being unlogged.

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.

Since autovacuum does not trigger an ANALYZE for partitioned tables,
users must perform these manually. However, performing a manual ANALYZE
on a partitioned table would always result in recursively analyzing each
partition and that could be undesirable as autovacuum takes care of that.
For partitioned tables that contain a large number of partitions, having
to analyze each partition could take an unreasonably long time, especially
so for tables with a large number of columns.
Here we allow the ONLY keyword to prefix the name of the table to allow
users to have ANALYZE skip processing partitions. This option can also
be used with VACUUM, but there is no work to do if VACUUM ONLY is used on
a partitioned table.
This commit also changes the behavior of VACUUM and ANALYZE for
inheritance parents. Previously inheritance child tables would not be
processed when operating on the parent. Now, by default we *do* operate
on the child tables. ONLY can be used to obtain the old behavior.
The release notes should note this as an incompatibility. The default
behavior has not changed for partitioned tables as these always
recursively processed the partitions.

Since we introduced unlogged sequences in v15, identity sequences
have defaulted to having the same persistence as their owning table.
However, it is possible to change that with ALTER SEQUENCE, and
pg_dump tries to preserve the logged-ness of sequences when it doesn't
match (as indeed it wouldn't for an unlogged table from before v15).
The fly in the ointment is that ALTER SEQUENCE SET [UN]LOGGED fails
in binary-upgrade mode, because it needs to assign a new relfilenode
which we cannot permit in that mode. Thus, trying to pg_upgrade a
database containing a mismatching identity sequence failed.
To fix, add syntax to ADD/ALTER COLUMN GENERATED AS IDENTITY to allow
the sequence's persistence to be set correctly at creation, and use
that instead of ALTER SEQUENCE SET [UN]LOGGED in pg_dump. (I tried to
make SET [UN]LOGGED work without any pg_dump modifications, but that
seems too fragile to be a desirable answer. This way should be
markedly faster anyhow.)
In passing, document the previously-undocumented SEQUENCE NAME option
that pg_dump also relies on for identity sequences; I see no value
in trying to pretend it doesn't exist.

Add WITHOUT OVERLAPS clause to PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints.
These are backed by GiST indexes instead of B-tree indexes, since they
are essentially exclusion constraints with = for the scalar parts of
the key and && for the temporal part.
(previously committed as 46a0cd4cef, reverted by 46a0cd4cefb; the new
part is this:)
Because 'empty' && 'empty' is false, the temporal PK/UQ constraint
allowed duplicates, which is confusing to users and breaks internal
expectations. For instance, when GROUP BY checks functional
dependencies on the PK, it allows selecting other columns from the
table, but in the presence of duplicate keys you could get the value
from any of their rows. So we need to forbid empties.
This all means that at the moment we can only support ranges and
multiranges for temporal PK/UQs, unlike the original patch (above).
Documentation and tests for this are added. But this could
conceivably be extended by introducing some more general support for
the notion of "empty" for other types.

A number of pg_upgrade steps require connecting to every database
in the cluster and running the same query in each one. When there
are many databases, these steps are particularly time-consuming,
especially since they are performed sequentially, i.e., we connect
to a database, run the query, and process the results before moving
on to the next database.
This commit introduces a new framework that makes it easy to
parallelize most of these once-in-each-database tasks by processing
multiple databases concurrently. This framework manages a set of
slots that follow a simple state machine, and it uses libpq's
asynchronous APIs to establish the connections and run the queries.
The --jobs option is used to determine the number of slots to use.
To use this new task framework, callers simply need to provide the
query and a callback function to process its results, and the
framework takes care of the rest. A more complete description is
provided at the top of the new task.c file.
None of the eligible once-in-each-database tasks are converted to
use this new framework in this commit. That will be done via
several follow-up commits.
