The original code was overly optimistic about the cost of scanning a
BRIN index, leading to BRIN indexes being selected when they'd be a
worse choice than some other index. This complete rewrite should be
more accurate.

When sending a tuple attribute, the previous coding erroneously sent the
length byte before encoding conversion, which would lead to protocol
failures on the receiving side if the length did not match the following
string.
To fix that, use pq_sendcountedtext() for sending tuple attributes,
which takes care of all of that internally. To match the API of
pq_sendcountedtext(), send even text values without a trailing zero byte
and have the receiving end put it in place instead. This matches how
the standard FE/BE protocol behaves.

In struct _archiveHandle, some of the fields have the same name as a
typedef. This is kind of confusing, so rename the types so they have
names distinct from the struct fields. In C++, the previous coding
changes the meaning of the typedef in the scope of the struct, causing
warnings and possibly other problems.

It was not used for what the comment claimed, at all. It was actually used
as the 'base' argument to strtol(), when reading the iteration count. We
don't need a constant for base-10, so remove it.
This is the SQL standard-conforming variant of PostgreSQL's serial
columns. It fixes a few usability issues that serial columns have:
- CREATE TABLE / LIKE copies default but refers to same sequence
- cannot add/drop serialness with ALTER TABLE
- dropping default does not drop sequence
- need to grant separate privileges to sequence
- other slight weirdnesses because serial is some kind of special macro

For normal commits and aborts we already reset PgXact->xmin,
so we can simply avoid running SnapshotResetXmin() twice.
During performance tests by Alexander Korotkov, diagnosis
by Andres Freund showed PgXact array as a bottleneck. After
manual analysis by me of the code paths that touch those

HandleFunctionRequest() is no longer responsible for reading the protocol
message from the client, since commit 2b3a8b20c2. Fix the outdated
comments.
HandleFunctionRequest() now always returns 0, because the code that used
to return EOF was moved in 2b3a8b20c2. Therefore, the caller no longer
needs to check the return value.

When using integer timestamps, the interval-comparison functions tried
to compute the overall magnitude of an interval as an int64 number of
microseconds. As reported by Frazer McLean, this overflows for intervals
exceeding about 296000 years, which is bad since we nominally allow
intervals many times larger than that. That results in wrong comparison
results, and possibly in corrupted btree indexes for columns containing
such large interval values.
To fix, compute the magnitude as int128 instead. Although some compilers
have native support for int128 calculations, many don't, so create our
own support functions that can do 128-bit addition and multiplication
if the compiler support isn't there. These support functions are designed
with an eye to allowing the int128 code paths in numeric.c to be rewritten
for use on all platforms, although this patch doesn't do that, or even
provide all the int128 primitives that will be needed for it.
Back-patch as far as 9.4. Earlier releases did not guard against overflow
of interval values at all (commit 146604ec4 fixed that), so it seems not
very exciting to worry about overly-large intervals for them.
Before 9.6, we did not assume that unreferenced "static inline" functions
would not draw compiler warnings, so omit functions not directly referenced
by timestamp.c, the only present consumer of int128.h. (We could have
omitted these functions in HEAD too, but since they were written and
debugged on the way to the present patch, and they look likely to be needed
by numeric.c, let's keep them in HEAD.) I did not bother to try to prevent
such warnings in a --disable-integer-datetimes build, though.
Before 9.5, configure will never define HAVE_INT128, so the part of
int128.h that exploits a native int128 implementation is dead code in the
9.4 branch. I didn't bother to remove it, thinking that keeping the file
looking similar in different branches is more useful.
In HEAD only, add a simple test harness for int128.h in src/tools/.
In back branches, this does not change the float-timestamps code path.
That's not subject to the same kind of overflow risk, since it computes
the interval magnitude as float8. (No doubt, when this code was originally
written, overflow was disregarded for exactly that reason.) There is a
precision hazard instead :-(, but we'll avert our eyes from that question,
since no complaints have been reported and that code's deprecated anyway.

Commit 59702716 added transition table support to PL/pgsql so that
SQL queries in trigger functions could access those transient
tables. In order to provide the same level of support for PL/perl,
PL/python and PL/tcl, refactor the relevant code into a new
function SPI_register_trigger_data. Call the new function in the
trigger handler of all four PLs, and document it as a public SPI
function so that authors of out-of-tree PLs can do the same.
Also get rid of a second QueryEnvironment object that was
maintained by PL/pgsql. That was previously used to deal with
cursors, but the same approach wasn't appropriate for PLs that are
less tangled up with core code. Instead, have SPI_cursor_open
install the connection's current QueryEnvironment, as already
happens for SPI_execute_plan.
While in the docs, remove the note that transition tables were only
supported in C and PL/pgSQL triggers, and correct some ommissions.

Since hash indexes typically have very few overflow pages, adding a
new splitpoint essentially doubles the on-disk size of the index,
which can lead to large and abrupt increases in disk usage (and
perhaps long delays on occasion). To mitigate this problem to some
degree, divide larger splitpoints into four equal phases. This means
that, for example, instead of growing from 4GB to 8GB all at once, a
hash index will now grow from 4GB to 5GB to 6GB to 7GB to 8GB, which
is perhaps still not as smooth as we'd like but certainly an
improvement.
This changes the on-disk format of the metapage, so bump HASH_VERSION
from 2 to 3. This will force a REINDEX of all existing hash indexes,
but that's probably a good idea anyway. First, hash indexes from
pre-10 versions of PostgreSQL could easily be corrupted, and we don't
want to confuse corruption carried over from an older release with any
corruption caused despite the new write-ahead logging in v10. Second,
it will let us remove some backward-compatibility code added by commit
293e24e507.
