Commit 6e7baa3227 added support for "B" unit, for specifying config options
in bytes. However, it was only accepted in GUC_UNIT_BYTE settings,
wal_segment_size and track_activity_query_size, and not e.g. in work_mem.
This patch makes it consistent, so that "B" accepted in all the same
contexts where "kB", "MB", and so forth are accepted.
Add "B" to the list of accepted units in the error hint, along with "kB",
"MB", etc.
Add an entry in the conversion table for "TB" to "B" conversion. A terabyte
is out of range for any GUC_UNIT_BYTE option, so you always get an "out of
range" error with that, but without it, you get a confusing error message
that claims that "TB" is not an accepted unit, with a hint that nevertheless
lists "TB" as an accepted unit.

Because the code for the HEADER option skips a line when this counter
is zero, a very long COPY FROM WITH HEADER operation would drop a line
every 2^32 lines. A lesser but still unfortunate problem is that errors
would show a wrong input line number for errors occurring beyond the
2^31'st input line. While such large input streams seemed impractical
when this code was first written, they're not any more. Widening the
counter (and some associated variables) to uint64 should be enough to
prevent problems for the foreseeable future.

OFFSET <x> ROWS FETCH FIRST <y> ROWS ONLY syntax is supposed to accept
<simple value specification>, which includes parameters as well as
literals. When this syntax was added all those years ago, it was done
inconsistently, with <x> and <y> being different subsets of the
standard syntax.
Rectify that by making <x> and <y> accept the same thing, and allowing
either a (signed) numeric literal or a c_expr there, which allows for
parameters, variables, and parenthesized arbitrary expressions.
Per bug #15200 from Lukas Eder.
Backpatch all the way, since this has been broken from the start.

An xref to a <para>'s ID isn't very helpful because paras don't have
names. This causes a warning while building PDFs, though for some
reason not while building HTML. The link arguably went to the wrong
place, too.
To fix, introduce a sub-section we can reference.
This is the converse of the unsafe-usage-of-%m problem: the reason
ereport/elog provide that format code is mainly to dodge the hazard
of errno getting changed before control reaches functions within the
arguments of the macro. I only found one instance of this hazard,
but it's been there since 9.4 :-(.
While glibc's version of printf accepts %m, most others do not;
to be portable, we have to do it the hard way with strerror(errno).
pg_verify_checksums evidently did not get that memo.
Noted while fooling around with NetBSD-current, which generates
a compiler warning for this mistake.
The "l" (ell) width spec means something in the corresponding scanf usage,
but not here. While modern POSIX says that applying "l" to "f" and other
floating format specs is a no-op, SUSv2 says it's undefined. Buildfarm
experience says that some old compilers emit warnings about it, and at
least one old stdio implementation (mingw's "ANSI" option) actually
produces wrong answers and/or crashes.

FindDefinedSymbol was intended to take an array of possible include
paths, but it never actually worked correctly for any but the first
array element. Since there's no use-case for more than one path
anyway, let's just simplify this code and its callers by redefining
it as taking only one include path.
Minor other code-beautification without functional effects, except
that in one place we format the output as pgindent would do.

Ancient HPUX, for one, does this. We hadn't noticed due to the lack
of regression tests that required a working strtoll.
(I was slightly tempted to remove the other historical spelling,
strto[u]q, since it seems we have no buildfarm members testing that case.
But I refrained.)

Buildfarm member dromedary is still unhappy about the recently-added
ecpg "long long" tests. The reason turns out to be that it includes
"-ansi" in its CFLAGS, and in their infinite wisdom Apple have decided
to hide the declarations of strtoll/strtoull in C89-compliant builds.
(I find it pretty curious that they hide those function declarations
when you can nonetheless declare a "long long" variable, but anyway
that is their behavior, both on dromedary's obsolete macOS version and
the newest and shiniest.) As a result, gcc assumes these functions
return "int", leading naturally to wrong results.
(Looking at dromedary's past build results, it's evident that this
problem also breaks pg_strtouint64() on 32-bit platforms; but we
evidently have no regression tests that exercise that function with
values above 32 bits.)
To fix, supply declarations for these functions when the platform
provides the functions but not the declarations, using the same type
of mechanism as we use for some other similar cases.

This will only actually exercise the "long long" code paths on platforms
where "long" is 32 bits --- otherwise, the SQL bigint type maps to
plain "long", and we will test that code path instead. But that's
probably sufficient coverage, and anyway we weren't testing either
code path before.

This is needed for full support of "long long" variables in ecpg, but
the previous patch for bug #15080 (commits 51057feaa et al) missed it.
In MSVC versions where the functions don't exist under those names,
we can nonetheless use _strtoi64() and _strtoui64().
Like the previous patch, back-patch all the way.

Use DISCARD PLANS instead of a reconnect to force reconstruction of
a cached plan; this corresponds more nearly to what people might
actually do in practice.
Commit bad51a49a tried to use a shortcut with just one stamp file
recording the actions of generating the pg_*_d.h headers and copying
them to the src/include/catalog/ directory. That doesn't work in all
scenarios though, so we must use two stamp files like the Makefiles do.

The description of the index property backward_scan was incorrect and
misleading; rectify.
Backpatch to 9.6 where the amutils functionality was introduced.
In commit 6bdf1303b, we ensured that power()/^ for float8 would honor
the NaN behaviors specified by POSIX standards released in this century,
ie NaN ^ 0 = 1 and 1 ^ NaN = 1. However, numeric_power() was not
touched and continued to follow the once-common behavior that every
case involving NaN input produces NaN. For consistency, let's switch
the numeric behavior to the modern spec in the same release that ensures
that behavior for float8.
(Note that while 6bdf1303b was initially back-patched, we later undid
that, concluding that any behavioral change should appear only in v11.)

Up to now, it's been safe for plpgsql to store TOAST pointers in its
variables because the ActiveSnapshot for whatever query called the plpgsql
function will surely protect such TOAST values from being vacuumed away,
even if the owning table rows are committed dead. With the introduction of
procedures, that assumption is no longer good in "non atomic" executions
of plpgsql code. We adopt the slightly brute-force solution of detoasting
all TOAST pointers at the time they are stored into variables, if we're in
a non-atomic context, just in case the owning row goes away.
Some care is needed to avoid long-term memory leaks, since plpgsql tends
to run with CurrentMemoryContext pointing to its call-lifespan context,
but we shouldn't assume that no memory is leaked by heap_tuple_fetch_attr.
In plpgsql proper, we can do the detoasting work in the "eval_mcontext".
Most of the code thrashing here is due to the need to add this capability
to expandedrecord.c as well as plpgsql proper. In expandedrecord.c,
we can't assume that the caller's context is short-lived, so make use of
the short-term sub-context that was already invented for checking domain
constraints. In view of this repurposing, it seems good to rename that
variable and associated code from "domain_check_cxt" to "short_term_cxt".

canonicalize_ec_expression() is supposed to agree with coerce_type() as to
whether a RelabelType should be inserted to make a subexpression be valid
input for the operators of a given opclass. However, it did the wrong
thing with named-composite-type inputs to record_eq(): it put in a
RelabelType to RECORDOID, which the parser doesn't. In some cases this was
harmless because all code paths involving a particular equivalence class
did the same thing, but in other cases this would result in failing to
recognize a composite-type expression as being a member of an equivalence
class that it actually is a member of. The most obvious bad effect was to
fail to recognize that an index on a composite column could provide the
sort order needed for a mergejoin on that column, as reported by Teodor
Sigaev. I think there might be other, subtler, cases that result in
misoptimization. It also seems possible that an unwanted RelabelType
would sometimes get into an emitted plan --- but because record_eq and
friends don't examine the declared type of their input expressions, that
would not create any visible problems.
To fix, just treat RECORDOID as if it were a polymorphic type, which in
some sense it is. We might want to consider formalizing that a bit more
someday, but for the moment this seems to be the only place where an
IsPolymorphicType() test ought to include RECORDOID as well.
This has been broken for a long time, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

Previously, we passed the toplevel PlannerInfo, but we actually want
to pass the relevant subroot. One problem with passing the toplevel
PlannerInfo is that the FDW which wants to push down an UPDATE or
DELETE against a join won't find the relevant joinrel there.
As of commit 1bc0100d27, postgres_fdw
tries to do exactly this and can be made to fail an assertion as a
result.
It's possible that this should be regarded as a bug fix and
back-patched to earlier releases, but for lack of a test case that
fails in earlier releases, no back-patch for now.

The impact of VARIADIC on the combine/serialize/deserialize support
functions of an aggregate wasn't thought through carefully. There is
actually no impact, because variadicity isn't passed through to these
functions (and it doesn't seem like it would need to be). However,
lookup_agg_function was mistakenly told to check things as though it were
passed through. The net result was that it was impossible to declare an
aggregate that had both VARIADIC input and parallelism support functions.
In passing, fix a runtime check in nodeAgg.c for the combine function's
strictness to make its error message agree with the creation-time check.
The previous message was actually backwards, and it doesn't seem like
there's a good reason to have two versions of this message text anyway.
Back-patch to 9.6 where parallel aggregation was introduced.
