This is some preliminary refactoring related to a pending patch
to allow sepgsql-enable sessions to make dynamic label transitions.
But this commit doesn't involve any functional change: it just puts
some bits of code in more logical places.

Per recent work by Peter Geoghegan, it's significantly faster to
tuplesort on a single sortkey if ApplySortComparator is inlined into
quicksort rather reached via a function pointer. It's also faster
in general to have a version of quicksort which is specialized for
sorting SortTuple objects rather than objects of arbitrary size and
type. This requires a couple of additional copies of the quicksort
logic, which in this patch are generate using a Perl script. There
might be some benefit in adding further specializations here too,
but thus far it's not clear that those gains are worth their weight
in code footprint.
The hstore and json datatypes both have record-conversion functions that
pay attention to column names in the composite values they're handed.
We used to not worry about inserting correct field names into tuple
descriptors generated at runtime, but given these examples it seems
useful to do so. Observe the nicer-looking results in the regression
tests whose results changed.
catversion bump because there is a subtle change in requirements for stored
rule parsetrees: RowExprs from ROW() constructs now have to include field
names.

We don't normally allow quals to be pushed down into a view created
with the security_barrier option, but functions without side effects
are an exception: they're OK. This allows much better performance in
common cases, such as when using an equality operator (that might
even be indexable).
There is an outstanding issue here with the CREATE FUNCTION / ALTER
FUNCTION syntax: there's no way to use ALTER FUNCTION to unset the
leakproof flag. But I'm committing this as-is so that it doesn't
have to be rebased again; we can fix up the grammar in a future
commit.

If tuples were toasted, heap_multi_insert didn't update the ctid on the
original tuples. This caused a failure if there was an after trigger
(including a foreign key), on the table, and a tuple got toasted.
Per off-list report and test case from Ted Phelps
Datatype I/O functions are allowed to leak memory in CurrentMemoryContext,
since they are generally called in short-lived contexts. However, plpgsql
calls such functions for purposes of type conversion, and was calling them
in its procedure context. Therefore, any leaked memory would not be
recovered until the end of the plpgsql function. If such a conversion
was done within a loop, quite a bit of memory could get consumed. Fix by
calling such functions in the transient "eval_econtext", and adjust other
logic to match. Back-patch to all supported versions.

If an extension has not been selected to be dumped (perhaps because of
a --schema or --table switch), the contents of its configuration tables
surely should not get dumped either. Per gripe from
Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski.
In pre-7.3 databases, pg_attribute.attislocal doesn't exist. The easiest
way to make sure the new inheritance logic behaves sanely is to assume it's
TRUE, not FALSE. This will result in printing child columns even when
they're not really needed. We could work harder at trying to reconstruct a
value for attislocal, but there is little evidence that anyone still cares
about dumping from such old versions, so just do the minimum necessary to
have a valid dump.
I had this correct in the original draft of the patch, but for some
unaccountable reason decided it wasn't necessary to change the value.
Testing against an old server shows otherwise...
Revise pg_dump's handling of inherited columns, which was last looked at
seriously in 2001, to eliminate several misbehaviors associated with
inherited default expressions and NOT NULL flags. In particular make sure
that a column is printed in a child table's CREATE TABLE command if and
only if it has attislocal = true; the former behavior would sometimes cause
a column to become marked attislocal when it was not so marked in the
source database. Also, stop relying on textual comparison of default
expressions to decide if they're inherited; instead, don't use
default-expression inheritance at all, but just install the default
explicitly at each level of the hierarchy. This fixes the
search-path-related misbehavior recently exhibited by Chester Young, and
also removes some dubious assumptions about the order in which ALTER TABLE
SET DEFAULT commands would be executed.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
Per buildfarm, we sometimes get row-ordering variations in the output.
This also makes this query look more like numerous other ones in the same
test file.
Add new psql settings and command-line options to support setting the
field and record separators for unaligned output to a zero byte, for
easier interfacing with other shell tools.

It's not entirely evident how the logic here relates to the
interval_transform function, so let's clue people in that they need to
check that if the rules change.
These were added to kwlist.h as unreserved keywords in separate patches,
but authors forgot to add them to the corresponding list in gram.y.
Because of that, even though they were supposed to be unreserved keywords,
they could not be used as identifiers. src/tools/check_keywords.pl is your
friend.
Various filters that were meant to prevent dumping of table data were not
being applied to extension config tables, notably --exclude-table-data and
--no-unlogged-table-data. We also would bogusly try to dump data from
views, sequences, or foreign tables, should an extension try to claim they
were config tables. Fix all that, and refactor/redocument to try to make
this a bit less fragile. This reverts the implementation, though not the
feature, of commit 7b070e896c, which had
broken config-table dumping altogether :-(.
It is still the case that the code will dump config-table data even if
--schema is specified. That behavior was intentional, as per the comments
in getExtensionMembership, so I think it requires some more discussion
before we change it.
If somebody puts a window function in WHERE, we should complain about that
in so many words. The previous coding tended to complain about the window
function's arguments instead, which is likely to be misleading to users who
are unclear on the semantics of window functions; as seen for example in
bug #6440 from Matyas Novak.
Just another example of how "add new code at the end" is frequently a bad
heuristic.
Since bool_and() is equivalent to min(), and bool_or() to max(), we might
as well let them be index-optimized in the same way. The practical value
of this is debatable at best, but it seems nearly cost-free to enable it.
Code-wise, we need only adjust the entries in pg_aggregate. There is a
measurable planning speed penalty for a query involving one of these
aggregates, but it is only a few percent in simple cases, so that seems
acceptable.

When written, textanycat, anytextcat, quote_literal, and quote_nullable
were marked volatile, because they could invoke arbitrary type-specific
output functions as part of casting their anyelement arguments to text.
Since then, we have defined a project policy that I/O functions must not
be volatile, as per commit aab353a60b.
So these functions can safely be downgraded to stable. Most of the time
this makes no difference since they'll get inlined anyway, but as noted
by Andrew Dunstan, there are cases where the volatile marking prevents
optimizations that the planner does before function inlining. (I think
I might have overlooked these functions in the earlier commit on the
grounds that inlining would make it moot, but not so --- tgl)
This change results in a change in the expected output of the json
regression tests, because the planner can now flatten a sub-select
that it failed to before. The old output is preferable, but getting
that back will require some as-yet-unfinished work on RowExpr handling.

Use a target-specific variable to add to CPPFLAGS instead of writing a
custom .c -> .o rule. This will ensure that dependency tracking is
used when enabled.
The immediate impetus for this is that Noah Misch's patch to elide
unnecessary table and index rebuilds when changing typmod for temporal
types uses it; and this is extracted from that patch, with some
further commentary by me. But it seems logically separate from the
remainder of the patch, so I'm committing it separately; this is not
the first time someone has wanted fls() in the backend and probably
won't be the last.
If we end up using this in more performance-critical spots it may be
worthwhile to add some architecture-specific optimizations to our
src/port version of fls() - e.g. any x86 platform can implement this
using the assembly instruction BSRL. But performance won't matter
a bit for assessing typmod changes, so I'm not worried about that
right now.
This enables ALTER TABLE to skip table and index rebuilds when the
new type is unconstraint varbit, or when the allowable number of bits
is not decreasing.
Noah Misch, with review and a fix for an OID collision by me.
This enables ALTER TABLE to skip table and index rebuilds when a column
is changed to an unconstrained numeric, or when the scale is unchanged
and the precision does not decrease.

Sometimes it may be useful to get actual row counts out of EXPLAIN
(ANALYZE) without paying the cost of timing every node entry/exit.
With this patch, you can say EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, TIMING OFF) to get that.

This is another round of refactoring to make things simpler for parallel
pg_dump. pg_dump.c now issues SQL queries through the relevant Archive
object, rather than relying on the global variable g_conn. This commit
isn't quite enough to get rid of g_conn entirely, but it makes a big
dent in its utilization and, along the way, manages to be slightly less
code than before.
