Fix corruption of HOT chains when a RECENTLY_DEAD tuple changes
state to fully DEAD during page pruning (Andres Freund)
</para>
<para>
This happens when the last transaction that could <quote>see</quote>
the tuple ends while the page is being pruned. It was then possible
to remove a tuple that is pointed to by a redirect item elsewhere on
the page. While that causes no immediate problem, when the item slot
is re-used by some new tuple, that tuple would be thought to be part
of the pre-existing HOT chain, creating a form of index corruption.
If this seems to have affected a table, <command>REINDEX</command>
should repair the damage.

Fix corruption of HOT chains when a RECENTLY_DEAD tuple changes
state to fully DEAD during page pruning (Andres Freund)
</para>
<para>
It was possible for <command>VACUUM</command> to remove a
recently-dead tuple while leaving behind a redirect item that
pointed to it. When the tuple's item slot is later re-used by
some new tuple, that tuple would be seen as part of the
pre-existing HOT chain, creating a form of index corruption.
If this has happened, reindexing the table should repair the
damage. However, this is an extremely low-probability scenario,
so we do not recommend reindexing just on the chance that it might
have happened.

A previous bug fix disabled building of extended statistics for
old-style inheritance trees, but it also prevented building them for
partitioned tables, which was an unnecessary restriction.
If you have created statistics objects for partitioned tables, you
may wish to explicitly <command>ANALYZE</command> those tables after
installing this update, rather than waiting for auto-analyze to do it.
This change allows <command>ANALYZE</command> to compute values for
statistics objects for partitioned tables. (But note that
autovacuum does not process partitioned tables as such, so you must
periodically issue manual <command>ANALYZE</command> on the
partitioned table if you want to maintain such statistics.)

<para>
A previous bug fix disabled building of extended statistics for
old-style inheritance trees, but any existing statistics data was
not removed, and that data would become more and more out-of-date
over time. Adjust the planner to ignore such data. Extended
statistics for the individual child tables are still built and used,
however.
Currently, extended statistics values are only computed locally for
each table, not for entire inheritance trees. However the values
were mistakenly consulted when planning queries across inheritance
trees, possibly resulting in worse-than-default estimates.

Index-only scans returned column values with trailing spaces
removed, which is not the expected behavior. That happens because
that's how it's stored in the index. This fix changes the logic to
store <type>char(<replaceable>N</replaceable>)</type> values with
the expected amount of space padding. The behavior of the index
will not change immediately unless you <command>REINDEX</command>
it; otherwise space-stripped values will be gradually replaced over
time during updates. Queries that do not use index-only scan plans
will be unaffected in any case.
