the relfilenode of currently-not-relocatable system catalogs.
1. Get rid of inval.c's dependency on relfilenode, by not having it emit
smgr invalidations as a result of relcache flushes. Instead, smgr sinval
messages are sent directly from smgr.c when an actual relation delete or
truncate is done. This makes considerably more structural sense and allows
elimination of a large number of useless smgr inval messages that were
formerly sent even in cases where nothing was changing at the
physical-relation level. Note that this reintroduces the concept of
nontransactional inval messages, but that's okay --- because the messages
are sent by smgr.c, they will be sent in Hot Standby slaves, just from a
lower logical level than before.
2. Move setNewRelfilenode out of catalog/index.c, where it never logically
belonged, into relcache.c; which is a somewhat debatable choice as well but
better than before. (I considered catalog/storage.c, but that seemed too
low level.) Rename to RelationSetNewRelfilenode.
3. Cosmetic cleanups of some other relfilenode manipulations.
relations (they don't live in pg_toast). This caused an Assert failure in
assert-enabled builds. So far as I can see, in a non-assert build it would
only have messed up the checks for conflicting names, so a failure would be
quite improbable but perhaps not impossible.
All callers of FindConversionByName() already do suitable permissions
checking already apart from this function, but this is not just dead
code removal: the unnecessary permissions check can actually lead to
spurious failures - there's no reason why inability to execute the
underlying function should prohibit renaming the conversion, for example.
(The error messages in these cases were also rather poor:
FindConversion would return InvalidOid, eventually leading to a complaint
that the conversion "did not exist", which was not correct.)

When a column is renamed, we recursively rename the same column in
all descendent tables. But if one of those tables also inherits that
column from a table outside the inheritance hierarchy rooted at the
named table, we must throw an error. The previous coding correctly
prohibited the rename when the parent had inherited the column from
elsewhere, but overlooked the case where the parent was OK but a child
table also inherited the same column from a second, unrelated parent.
For now, not backpatched due to lack of complaints from the field.

unworkable midpoint choices a lot faster than the recursive check, in most
cases, so doing it first can speed things up; particularly in pathological
cases such as recently exhibited by Michael Glaesemann.
In addition, apply some cosmetic changes that were applied upstream (in the
Tcl project) at the same time, in order to sync with upstream version 1.15

Upstream apparently intends to backpatch this, so I will too. The
pathological behavior could be unpleasant if encountered in the field,
which seems to justify any risk of introducing new bugs.

We need to free the OID list returned by ExecInsertIndexTuples to avoid
a query-lifespan memory leak. When many rows require rechecking, this
can be a significant leak --- it's even more than the space used for the
queued trigger events.

There was a race condition where the receiving pipe could be closed by the
child thread if the main thread was pre-empted before it got a chance to
create a new one, and the dispatch thread ran to completion during that time.
One symptom of this is that rows in pg_listener could be dropped under
heavy load.

modifications by Magnus Hagander.
Since all current and foreseeable future command tags will be pure ASCII,
there is no need to do conversion on them. This saves a few cycles and also
avoids polluting otherwise-pristine subtransaction memory contexts, which
is the cause of the backend memory leak exhibited in bug #5302. (Someday
we'll probably want to have a better method of determining whether
subtransaction contexts need to be kept around, but today is not that day.)
Backpatch to 8.0. The cycle-shaving aspect of this would work in 7.4
too, but without subtransactions the memory-leak aspect doesn't apply,
so it doesn't seem worth touching 7.4.

PQconnectStartParams. These are analogous to PQconnectdb and PQconnectStart
respectively. They differ from the legacy functions in that they accept
two NULL-terminated arrays, keywords and values, rather than conninfo
strings. This avoids the need to build the conninfo string in cases
where it might be inconvenient to do so. Includes documentation.
Also modify psql to utilize PQconnectdbParams rather than PQsetdbLogin.
This allows the new config parameter application_name to be set, which

restore_command, if the connection to the primary server is lost. This
ensures that the standby can recover automatically, if the connection is
lost for a long time and standby falls behind so much that the required
WAL segments have been archived and deleted in the master.
This also makes standby_mode useful without streaming replication; the
server will keep retrying restore_command every few seconds until the
trigger file is found. That's the same basic functionality pg_standby
offers, but without the bells and whistles.
To implement that, refactor the ReadRecord/FetchRecord functions. The
FetchRecord() function introduced in the original streaming replication
patch is removed, and all the retry logic is now in a new function called
XLogReadPage(). XLogReadPage() is now responsible for executing
restore_command, launching walreceiver, and waiting for new WAL to arrive
from primary, as required.
This also changes the life cycle of walreceiver. When launched, it now only
tries to connect to the master once, and exits if the connection fails, or
is lost during streaming for any reason. The startup process detects the
death, and re-launches walreceiver if necessary.
- Allow (ineffective) use of 'require' in plperl
If the required module is not already loaded then it dies.
So "use strict;" now works in plperl.
- Pre-load the feature module if perl >= 5.10.
So "use feature :5.10;" now works in plperl.
- Stored procedure subs are now given names.
The names are not visible in ordinary use, but they make
tools like Devel::NYTProf and Devel::Cover much more useful.
- Simplified and generalized the subroutine creation code.
Now one code path for generating sub source code, not four.
Can generate multiple 'use' statements with specific imports
(which handles plperl.use_strict currently and can easily
be extended to handle a plperl.use_feature=':5.12' in future).

enough to justify the risk of application breakage if the value is changed
unexpectedly.
