Tom Lane dd7a8f66ed Redesign tablesample method API, and do extensive code review.
The original implementation of TABLESAMPLE modeled the tablesample method
API on index access methods, which wasn't a good choice because, without
specialized DDL commands, there's no way to build an extension that can
implement a TSM.  (Raw inserts into system catalogs are not an acceptable
thing to do, because we can't undo them during DROP EXTENSION, nor will
pg_upgrade behave sanely.)  Instead adopt an API more like procedural
language handlers or foreign data wrappers, wherein the only SQL-level
support object needed is a single handler function identified by having
a special return type.  This lets us get rid of the supporting catalog
altogether, so that no custom DDL support is needed for the feature.

Adjust the API so that it can support non-constant tablesample arguments
(the original coding assumed we could evaluate the argument expressions at
ExecInitSampleScan time, which is undesirable even if it weren't outright
unsafe), and discourage sampling methods from looking at invisible tuples.
Make sure that the BERNOULLI and SYSTEM methods are genuinely repeatable
within and across queries, as required by the SQL standard, and deal more
honestly with methods that can't support that requirement.

Make a full code-review pass over the tablesample additions, and fix
assorted bugs, omissions, infelicities, and cosmetic issues (such as
failure to put the added code stanzas in a consistent ordering).
Improve EXPLAIN's output of tablesample plans, too.

Back-patch to 9.5 so that we don't have to support the original API
in production.

*
* tsm_system_rows.c
* support routines for SYSTEM_ROWS tablesample method
*
* The desire here is to produce a random sample with a given number of rows
* (or the whole relation, if that is fewer rows). We use a block-sampling
* approach. To ensure that the whole relation will be visited if necessary,
* we start at a randomly chosen block and then advance with a stride that
* is randomly chosen but is relatively prime to the relation's nblocks.
*
* Because of the dependence on nblocks, this method cannot be repeatable
* across queries. (Even if the user hasn't explicitly changed the relation,
* maintenance activities such as autovacuum might change nblocks.) However,
* we can at least make it repeatable across scans, by determining the
* sampling pattern only once on the first scan. This means that rescans
* won't visit blocks added after the first scan, but that is fine since
* such blocks shouldn't contain any visible tuples anyway.
