This is the beginning of a collection of SQL-callable functions to
verify the integrity of data files. For now it only contains code to
verify B-Tree indexes.
This adds two SQL-callable functions, validating B-Tree consistency to
a varying degree. Check the, extensive, docs for details.
The goal is to later extend the coverage of the module to further
access methods, possibly including the heap. Once checks for
additional access methods exist, we'll likely add some "dispatch"
functions that cover multiple access methods.

Although it's reasonable to expect that most of these constants will
never change, that does not make it good programming style to hard-code
the value rather than using the RELKIND_FOO macros. There were only
a few such violations, and all relatively new AFAICT.
Existing style is mostly to inject relkind values into constructed
query strings using %c. I did not bother to touch places that did it
like that, but really a better technique is to stringify the RELKIND
macro, at least in places where you'd want single quotes around the
code character. That avoids any runtime effort and keeps the RELKIND
symbol close to where it's used.

For some reason this standard C string-processing hack was buried in an
NLS-related section of c.h. Put it beside CppAsString() so that people
are more likely to find it and not be tempted to reinvent local copies,
as I nearly did. And provide a more helpful comment, too.
Commit 0e141c0fbb introduced a mechanism
to reduce contention on ProcArrayLock by having a single process clear
XIDs in the procArray on behalf of multiple processes, reducing the
need to hand the lock around. Use a similar mechanism to reduce
contention on CLogControlLock. Testing shows that this very
significantly reduces the amount of time waiting for CLogControlLock
on high-concurrency pgbench tests run on a large multi-socket
machines; whether that translates into a TPS improvement depends on
how much of that contention is simply shifted to some other lock,
particularly WALWriteLock.

The IANA timezone crew continues to chip away at their project of removing
timezone abbreviations that have no real-world currency from their
database. The tzdata2017a update removes all such abbreviations for
South American zones, as well as much of the Pacific. This breaks some
test cases in timestamptz.sql that were expecting America/Santiago and
America/Caracas to have non-numeric abbreviations.
The test cases involving America/Santiago seem to have selected that
zone more or less at random, so just replace it with America/New_York,
which is of similar longitude. The cases involving America/Caracas are
harder since they were chosen to test a time-varying zone abbreviation
around a point where it changed meaning in the backwards direction.
Fortunately, Europe/Moscow has a similar case in 2014, and the MSK/MSD
abbreviations are well enough attested that IANA seems unlikely to
decide to remove them from the database in future.
With these changes, this regression test should pass when using any IANA
zone database from 2015 or later. One could wish that there were a few
years more daylight on how out-of-date your zone database can be ... but
really the --with-system-tzdata option is only meant for use on platforms
where the zone database is kept up-to-date pretty faithfully, so I do not
think this is a big objection.

Like Gather, we spawn multiple workers and run the same plan in each
one; however, Gather Merge is used when each worker produces the same
output ordering and we want to preserve that output ordering while
merging together the streams of tuples from various workers. (In a
way, Gather Merge is like a hybrid of Gather and MergeAppend.)
This works out to a win if it saves us from having to perform an
expensive Sort. In cases where only a small amount of data would need
to be sorted, it may actually be faster to use a regular Gather node
and then sort the results afterward, because Gather Merge sometimes
needs to wait synchronously for tuples whereas a pure Gather generally
doesn't. But if this avoids an expensive sort then it's a win.

We have a project policy that every .c file should start by including
postgres.h, postgres_fe.h, or c.h as appropriate; and then there is no
need for any .h file to explicitly include any of these. (The core
reason for this policy is to make it easy to verify that pg_config_os.h
is included before any system headers such as <stdio.h>; without that,
we have portability issues on some platforms due to variation in largefile
options across different modules in the backend. Also, if .h files were
responsible for choosing which of these key headers to include, .h files
that need to be includable in either frontend or backend compiles would be
in trouble.)
plpgsql was blithely ignoring this policy, so whack it upside the head
until it complies. I also chose to standardize on including plpgsql's
own .h files after all core-system headers that it pulls in. That
could've been done either way, but this way seems saner.

Although there are good reasons for our policy of including postgres.h
as the first #include in every .c file, never from .h files, there are
two places where it seems expedient to violate the policy because the
alternative is to modify externally-supplied .c files. (In the case
of the regexp library, the idea that it's externally-supplied is kind
of at odds with reality, but I haven't entirely given up hope that it
will become a standalone project some day.) Add some comments to make
it explicit that this is a policy violation and provide the reasoning.
In passing, move #include "miscadmin.h" out of regcomp.c and into
regcustom.h, which is where it should be if we're taking this reasoning
seriously at all.

This exposes the existing explain summary option to users to allow them
to choose if they wish to have the planning time and totalled run time
included in the EXPLAIN result. The existing default behavior is
retained if SUMMARY is not specified- running explain without analyze
will not print the summary lines (just the planning time, currently)
while running explain with analyze will include the summary lines (both
the planning time and the totalled execution time).
Users who wish to see the summary information for plain explain can now
use: EXPLAIN (SUMMARY ON) query; Users who do not want to have the
summary printed for an analyze run can use:
EXPLAIN (ANALYZE ON, SUMMARY OFF) query;
With this, we can now also have EXPLAIN ANALYZE queries included in our
regression tests by using:
EXPLAIN (ANALYZE ON, TIMING OFF, SUMMARY off) query;
I went ahead and added an example of this, which will hopefully not make
the buildfarm complain.

Large chunks (those too large for any palloc freelist) are managed as
separate blocks. Formerly, realloc'ing or pfree'ing such a chunk required
O(N) time in a context with N blocks, since we had to traipse down the
singly-linked block list to locate the block's predecessor before we could
fix the list links. This can result in O(N^2) runtime in situations where
large numbers of such chunks are manipulated within one context. Cases
like that were not foreseen in the original design of aset.c, and indeed
didn't arise until fairly recently. But such problems can now occur in
reorderbuffer.c and in hash joining, both of which make repeated large
requests without scaling up their request size as they do so, and which
will free their requests in not-necessarily-LIFO order.
To fix, change the block list from singly-linked to doubly-linked.
This adds another 4 or 8 bytes to ALLOC_BLOCKHDRSZ, but that doesn't
seem like unacceptable overhead, since aset.c's blocks are normally
8K or more, and never less than 1K in current practice.
In passing, get rid of some redundant AllocChunkGetPointer() calls in
AllocSetRealloc (the compiler might be smart enough to optimize these
away anyway, but no need to assume that) and improve AllocSetCheck's
checking of block header fields.
Back-patch to 9.4 where reorderbuffer.c appeared. We could take this
further back, but currently there's no evidence that it would be useful.

Any logical rep workers must have their subscription entries in
pg_subscription. To ensure this, we need to prevent the launcher
from starting new worker corresponding to the subscription that
DROP SUBSCRIPTION command is removing. To implement this,
previously LogicalRepLauncherLock was introduced and held until
the end of transaction running DROP SUBSCRIPTION. But using
LWLock for that purpose was not valid.
Instead, this commit changes DROP SUBSCRIPTION so that it takes
AccessExclusiveLock on pg_subscription, in order to ensure that
the launcher cannot see any subscriptions being removed. Also this
commit gets rid of LogicalRepLauncherLock.

libxml2 older than 2.9.1 does not have xmlXPathSetContextNode (released
in 2013, so reasonable platforms have trouble). That function is fairly
trivial, so I have inlined it in the one added caller. This passes
tests on my machine; let's see what the buildfarm thinks about it.
Per joint complaint from Tom Lane and buildfarm.
XMLTABLE is defined by the SQL/XML standard as a feature that allows
turning XML-formatted data into relational form, so that it can be used
as a <table primary> in the FROM clause of a query.
This new construct provides significant simplicity and performance
benefit for XML data processing; what in a client-side custom
implementation was reported to take 20 minutes can be executed in 400ms
using XMLTABLE. (The same functionality was said to take 10 seconds
using nested PostgreSQL XPath function calls, and 5 seconds using
XMLReader under PL/Python).
The implemented syntax deviates slightly from what the standard
requires. First, the standard indicates that the PASSING clause is
optional and that multiple XML input documents may be given to it; we
make it mandatory and accept a single document only. Second, we don't
currently support a default namespace to be specified.
This implementation relies on a new executor node based on a hardcoded
method table. (Because the grammar is fixed, there is no extensibility
in the current approach; further constructs can be implemented on top of
this such as JSON_TABLE, but they require changes to core code.)

When a shared iterator is used, each call to tbm_shared_iterate()
returns a result that has not yet been returned to any process
attached to the shared iterator. In other words, each cooperating
processes gets a disjoint subset of the full result set, but all
results are returned exactly once.

Define GUCs pltcl.start_proc and pltclu.start_proc. When set to a
nonempty value at the time a new Tcl interpreter is created, the
parameterless pltcl or pltclu function named by the GUC is called to
allow user-controlled initialization to occur within the interpreter.
This is modeled on plv8's start_proc parameter, and also has much in
common with plperl's on_init feature. It allows users to fully
replace the "modules" feature that was removed in commit 817f2a586.
Since an initializer function could subvert later Tcl code in nearly
arbitrary ways, mark both GUCs as SUSET for now. It would be nice
to find a way to relax that someday; but the corresponding GUCs in
plperl are also SUSET, and there's not been much complaint.

We customarily #include <netinet/in.h> before <arpa/inet.h>; according
to our git history (cf commit 527f8babc) there used to be platform(s)
