Tom Lane 56d0ed3b75 Give better hints for ambiguous or unreferenceable columns.
Examine ParseNamespaceItem flags to detect whether a column name
is unreferenceable for lack of LATERAL, or could be referenced if
a qualified name were used, and give better hints for such cases.
Also, don't phrase the message to imply that there's only one
matching column when there is really more than one.

Many of the regression test output changes are not very interesting,
but just reflect reclassifying the "There is a column ... but it
cannot be referenced from this part of the query" messages as DETAIL
rather than HINT.  They are details per our style guide, in the sense
of being factual rather than offering advice; and this change provides
room to offer actual HINTs about what to do.

While here, adjust the fuzzy-name-matching code to be a shade less
impenetrable.  It was overloading the meanings of FuzzyAttrMatchState
fields way too much IMO, so splitting them into multiple fields seems
to make it clearer.  It's not like we need to shave bytes in that
struct.

Per discussion of bug #17233 from Alexander Korolev.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
