parallel_leader_participation got introduced in e5253fd, where it was
listed under RESOURCES_ASYNCHRONOUS in guc.c, but the documentation
did not reflect that and listed it with the other planner-related
options. This commit fixes this inconsistency as the parameter is
intended to be an asynchronous one.
While on it, reorganize a bit the section dedicated to asynchronous
parameters, backend_flush_after being moved first to do better in terms
of alphabetical order of the options listed.

On ALTER TABLE .. DETACH CONCURRENTLY, we add a new table constraint
that duplicates the partition constraint. But if the partition already
has another constraint that implies that one, then that's unnecessary.
We were already avoiding the addition of a duplicate constraint if there
was an exact 'equal' match -- this just improves the quality of the check.

Since pg_depend can contain duplicate entries, we need to eliminate
those in information schema views that build on pg_depend, using
DISTINCT. Some of the older views already did that correctly, but
some of the more recently added ones didn't. (In some of these views,
it might not be possible to reproduce the issue because of how the
implementation happens to deduplicate dependencies while recording
them, but it seems better to keep this consistent in all cases.)
Not enabling compute_query_id would disable pg_stat_statements even if
the module is listed in shared_preload_libraries, so add it to the
minimum configuration set as listed in its documentation.

While tracking down the bug fixed in the preceding commit, I got quite
annoyed by the low quality of spg_desc's output. Add missing fields,
try to make the formatting consistent.
Commit f003d9f87 left this macro with inadequate (or, one could say,
too much) parenthesization. Which was catastrophic to the correctness
of calls such as "if (!XLogRecHasBlockRef(record, 1)) ...". There
are only a few of those, which perhaps explains why we didn't notice
immediately (with our general weakness of WAL replay testing being
another factor). I found it by debugging intermittent replay failures
like

I didn't particularly like this function name, as it fails to
express what's going on. Also, returning the sort expression
alone isn't too helpful --- typically, a caller would also
need some other fields of the EquivalenceMember. But the
sole caller really only needs a bool result, so let's make
it "bool relation_can_be_sorted_early()".

An oversight introduced by the incremental-sort patches caused
"could not find pathkey item to sort" errors in some situations
where a sort key involves an aggregate or window function.
The basic problem here is that find_em_expr_usable_for_sorting_rel
isn't properly modeling what prepare_sort_from_pathkeys will do
later. Rather than hoping we can keep those functions in sync,
let's refactor so that they actually share the code for
identifying a suitable sort expression.
With this refactoring, tlist.c's tlist_member_ignore_relabel
is unused. I removed it in HEAD but left it in place in v13,
in case any extensions are using it.
Per report from Luc Vlaming. Back-patch to v13 where the

Commit b34ca595ab provided for installation-aware instances of
PostgresNode. However, it turns out that IPC::Run works against this by
caching the path to a binary and not consulting the path again, even if
it has changed. We work around this by calling Postgres binaries with
the installed path rather than just a bare name to be looked up in the
environment path, if there is an installed path. For the common case
where there is no installed path we continue to use the bare command
name.

Document VACUUM's soft assumption that any LP_DEAD items encountered
during pruning will become LP_UNUSED items before VACUUM finishes up.
This is integral to the accounting used by VACUUM to generate its final
report on the table to the stats collector. It also affects how VACUUM
determines which heap pages are truncatable. In both cases VACUUM is
concerned with the likely contents of the page in the near future, not
the current contents of the page.
This state of affairs created the false impression that VACUUM's dead
tuple accounting had significant difference with similar accounting used
during ANALYZE. There were and are no substantive differences, at least
when the soft assumption completely works out. This is far clearer now.
Also document cases where things don't quite work out for VACUUM's dead
tuple accounting. It's possible that a significant number of LP_DEAD
items will be left behind by VACUUM, and won't be recorded as remaining
dead tuples in VACUUM's statistics collector report. This behavior
dates back to commit a96c41fe, which taught VACUUM to run without index
and heap vacuuming at the user's request. The failsafe mechanism added
to VACUUM more recently by commit 1e55e7d1 takes the same approach to
dead tuple accounting.

As it stands, find_expr_references_walker() pays attention to leaf-node
collation fields while ignoring the input collations of actual function
and operator nodes. That seems exactly backwards from a semantic
standpoint, and it leads to reporting dependencies on collations that
really have nothing to do with the expression's behavior.
Hence, rewrite to look at function input collations instead. This
isn't completely perfect either; it fails to account for the behavior
of record_eq and its siblings. (The previous coding at least gave an
approximation of that, though I think it could be fooled pretty easily
into considering the columns of irrelevant composite types.) We may
be able to improve on this later, but for now this should satisfy the
buildfarm members that didn't like ef387bed8.
In passing fix some oversights in GetTypeCollations(), and get
rid of its duplicative de-duplications. (I'm worried that it's
still potentially O(N^2) or worse, but this makes it a little
better.)

Adopt the new pre-parsed representation for all built-in and
information_schema SQL-language functions, except for a small
number that can't presently be converted because they have
polymorphic arguments.
This eliminates residual hazards around search-path safety of
these functions, and might provide some small performance benefits
by reducing parsing costs. It seems useful also to provide more
test coverage for the SQL-standard-body feature.

In order to avoid getting old logfile contents certain functions in
PostgresNode were doing one of two things. On Windows it rotated the
logfile and restarted the server, while elsewhere it truncated the log
file. Both of these are unnecessary. We borrow from the buildfarm which
does this instead: note the size of the logfile before we start, and
then when fetching the logfile skip to that position before accumulating
contents. This is spelled differently on Windows but the effect is the
same. This is largely centralized in TestLib's slurp_file function,
which has a new optional parameter, the offset to skip to before
starting to reading the file. Code in the client becomes much neater.
Backpatch to all live branches.

recordMultipleDependencies had the wrong scope for its "version"
variable, allowing a version label to leak from the collation entry it
was meant for to subsequent non-collation entries. This is relatively
hard to trigger because of the OID-descending order that the inputs
will normally arrive in: subsequent non-collation items will tend to
be pinned. But it can be exhibited easily with a custom collation.
Also, don't special-case the default collation, but instead ignore
pinned-ness of a collation when we've found a version for it. This
avoids creating useless pg_depend entries, and removes a not-very-
future-proof assumption that C, POSIX, and DEFAULT are the only
pinned collations.
A small problem is that, because the default collation may or may
not have a version, the regression tests can't assume anything about
whether dependency entries will be made for it. This seems OK though
since it's now handled just the same as other collations, and we have
test cases for both versioned and unversioned collations.

Commit e717a9a18 changed the longstanding rule that prosrc is NOT NULL
because when a SQL-language function is written in SQL-standard style,
we don't currently have anything useful to put there. This seems a poor
decision though, as it could easily have negative impacts on external
PLs (opening them to crashes they didn't use to have, for instance).
SQL-function-related code can just as easily test "is prosqlbody not
null" as "is prosrc null", so there's no real gain there either.
Hence, revert the NOT NULL marking removal and adjust related logic.
For now, we just put an empty string into prosrc for SQL-standard
functions. Maybe we'll have a better idea later, although the
history of things like pg_attrdef.adsrc suggests that it's not
easy to maintain a string equivalent of a node tree.
This also adds an assertion that queryDesc->sourceText != NULL
to standard_ExecutorStart. We'd been silently relying on that
for awhile, so let's make it less silent.
Also fix some overlooked documentation and test cases.

These queries could show unexpected entries if the core system,
or concurrently-running test scripts, created any functions that
would appear in the information_schema views. Restrict them
to showing functions belonging to this test's schema, as the
far-older nearby test case does.
Per experimentation with conversion of some built-in functions
to SQL-function-body style.
e4c7619 has added a space to the example used for HISTFILE in the docs
of psql before the variable DBNAME, as a workaround because variables
were not parsed the same way back then. This behavior has changed in
9.2, causing the example in the psql docs to result in the same history
file created with or without a space added before the DBNAME variable.
Let's just remove this space in the example, to reduce any confusion, as
the point of it is to prove that a per-database history file is easy to
set up, and that's easier to read this way.
