Bug #14245: Segfault on weird to_tsquery
Reported by David Kellum.
GiST index build could go into an infinite loop when presented with boxes
(or points, circles or polygons) containing NaN component values. This
happened essentially because the code assumed that x == x is true for any
"double" value x; but it's not true for NaNs. The looping behavior was not
the only problem though: we also attempted to sort the items using simple
double comparisons. Since NaNs violate the trichotomy law, qsort could
(in principle at least) get arbitrarily confused and mess up the sorting of
ordinary values as well as NaNs. And we based splitting choices on box size
calculations that could produce NaNs, again resulting in undesirable
behavior.
To fix, replace all comparisons of doubles in this logic with
float8_cmp_internal, which is NaN-aware and is careful to sort NaNs
consistently, higher than any non-NaN. Also rearrange the box size
calculation to not produce NaNs; instead it should produce an infinity
for a box with NaN on one side and not-NaN on the other.
I don't by any means claim that this solves all problems with NaNs in
geometric values, but it should at least make GiST index insertion work
reliably with such data. It's likely that the index search side of things
still needs some work, and probably regular geometric operations too.
But with this patch we're laying down a convention for how such cases
ought to behave.

We were merely Assert'ing that the Var matched the RTE it's supposedly
from. But if the user passes incorrect information to pg_get_expr(),
the RTE might in fact not match; this led either to Assert failures
or core dumps, as reported by Chris Hanks in bug #14220. To fix, just
convert the Asserts to test-and-elog. Adjust an existing test-and-elog
elsewhere in the same function to be consistent in wording.
(If we really felt these were user-facing errors, we might promote them to
ereport's; but I can't convince myself that they're worth translating.)

The original coding had three separate booleans representing partial
aggregation behavior, which was confusing, unreadable, and error-prone,
not least because the booleans weren't always listed in the same order.
It was also inadequate for the allegedly-desirable future extension to
support intermediate partial aggregation, because we'd need separate
markers for serialization and deserialization in such a case.
Merge these bools into an enum "AggSplit" to provide symbolic names for
the supported operating modes (and document what those are). By assigning
the values of the enum constants carefully, we can treat AggSplit values
as options bitmasks so that tests of what to do aren't noticeably more
expensive than before.
While at it, get rid of Aggref.aggoutputtype. That's not needed since
commit 59a3795c2 got rid of setrefs.c's special-purpose Aggref comparison

A deserialize function's result is short-lived data during partial
aggregation, since we're just going to pass it to the combine function
and then it's of no use anymore. However, the built-in deserialize
functions allocated their results in the aggregate state context,
resulting in a query-lifespan memory leak. It's probably not possible for
this to amount to anything much at present, since the number of leaked
results would only be the number of worker processes. But it might become
a problem in future. To fix, don't use the same convenience subroutine for
setting up results that the aggregate transition functions use.

Report: <10050.1466637736@sss.pgh.pa.us>
The original specification for this called for the deserialization function
to have signature "deserialize(serialtype) returns transtype", which is a
security violation if transtype is INTERNAL (which it always would be in
practice) and serialtype is not (which ditto). The patch blithely overrode
the opr_sanity check for that, which was sloppy-enough work in itself,
but the indisputable reason this cannot be allowed to stand is that CREATE
FUNCTION will reject such a signature and thus it'd be impossible for
extensions to create parallelizable aggregates.
The minimum fix to make the signature type-safe is to add a second, dummy
argument of type INTERNAL. But to lock it down a bit more and make misuse
of INTERNAL-accepting functions less likely, let's get rid of the ability
to specify a "serialtype" for an aggregate and just say that the only
useful serialtype is BYTEA --- which, in practice, is the only interesting
value anyway, due to the usefulness of the send/recv infrastructure for
this purpose. That means we only have to allow "serialize(internal)
returns bytea" and "deserialize(bytea, internal) returns internal" as
the signatures for these support functions.
In passing fix bogus signature of int4_avg_combine, which I found thanks
to adding an opr_sanity check on combinefunc signatures.

Report: <20160616182222.5798.959@wrigleys.postgresql.org>
Transmit the leader's temp-namespace state to workers. This is important
because without it, the workers do not really have the same search path
as the leader. For example, there is no good reason (and no extant code
either) to prevent a worker from executing a temp function that the
leader created previously; but as things stood it would fail to find the
temp function, and then either fail or execute the wrong function entirely.
We still prohibit a worker from creating a temp namespace on its own.
In effect, a worker can only see the session's temp namespace if the leader
had created it before starting the worker, which seems like the right
semantics.
Also, transmit the leader's BackendId to workers, and arrange for workers
to use that when determining the physical file path of a temp relation
belonging to their session. While the original intent was to prevent such
accesses entirely, there were a number of holes in that, notably in places
like dbsize.c which assume they can safely access temp rels of other
sessions anyway. We might as well get this right, as a small down payment
on someday allowing workers to access the leader's temp tables. (With
this change, directly using "MyBackendId" as a relation or buffer backend
ID is deprecated; you should use BackendIdForTempRelations() instead.
I left a couple of such uses alone though, as they're not going to be
reachable in parallel workers until we do something about localbuf.c.)
Move the thou-shalt-not-access-thy-leader's-temp-tables prohibition down
into localbuf.c, which is where it actually matters, instead of having it
in relation_open(). This amounts to recognizing that access to temp
tables' catalog entries is perfectly safe in a worker, it's only the data
in local buffers that is problematic.
Having done all that, we can get rid of the test in has_parallel_hazard()
that says that use of a temp table's rowtype is unsafe in parallel workers.
That test was unduly expensive, and if we really did need such a
prohibition, that was not even close to being a bulletproof guard for it.
(For example, any user-defined function executed in a parallel worker
might have attempted such access.)
This attempts to buy back some of whatever performance we lost from fixing
bug #14174 by inlining the initial checks in MakeExpandedObjectReadOnly()
into the callers. We can do that in a macro without creating multiple-
evaluation hazards, so it's pretty much free notationally; and the amount
of code added to callers should be minimal as well. (Testing a value can't
take many more instructions than passing it to a subroutine.)
Might as well inline DatumIsReadWriteExpandedObject() while we're at it.
This is an ABI break for callers, so it doesn't seem safe to put into 9.5,
but I see no reason not to do it in HEAD.
Mostly these are just comments but there are a few in documentation
and a handful in code and tests. Hopefully this doesn't cause too much
unnecessary pain for backpatching. I relented from some of the most
common like "thru" for that reason. The rest don't seem numerous
enough to cause problems.

subquery_planner() failed to apply expression preprocessing to the
arbiterElems and arbiterWhere fields of an OnConflictExpr. No doubt the
theory was that this wasn't necessary because we don't actually try to
execute those expressions; but that's wrong, because it results in failure
to match to index expressions or index predicates that are changed at all
by preprocessing. Per bug #14132 from Reynold Smith.
Also add pullup_replace_vars processing for onConflictWhere. Perhaps
it's impossible to have a subquery reference there, but I'm not exactly
convinced; and even if true today it's a failure waiting to happen.
Also add some comments to other places where one or another field of
OnConflictExpr is intentionally ignored, with explanation as to why it's
okay to do so.
Also, catalog/dependency.c failed to record any dependency on the named
constraint in ON CONFLICT ON CONSTRAINT, allowing such a constraint to
be dropped while rules exist that depend on it, and allowing pg_dump to
dump such a rule before the constraint it refers to. The normal execution
path managed to error out reasonably for a dangling constraint reference,
but ruleutils.c dumped core; so in addition to fixing the omission, add
a protective check in ruleutils.c, since we can't retroactively add a
dependency in existing databases.

to_timestamp() handles the TH/th format codes by advancing over two input
characters, whatever those are. It failed to notice whether there were
two characters available to be skipped, making it possible to advance
the pointer past the end of the input string and keep on parsing.
A similar risk existed in the handling of "Y,YYY" format: it would advance
over three characters after the "," whether or not three characters were
available.
In principle this might be exploitable to disclose contents of server
memory. But the security team concluded that it would be very hard to use
that way, because the parsing loop would stop upon hitting any zero byte,
and TH/th format codes can't be consecutive --- they have to follow some
other format code, which would have to match whatever data is there.
So it seems impractical to examine memory very much beyond the end of the
input string via this bug; and the input string will always be in local
memory not in disk buffers, making it unlikely that anything very
interesting is close to it in a predictable way. So this doesn't quite
rise to the level of needing a CVE.

Commit 7d9a4737c2 greatly improved the
accuracy of the numeric transcendental functions, however it failed to
consider the case where the result from pow() is close to the overflow
threshold, for example 0.12 ^ -2345.6. For such inputs, where the
result has more than 2000 digits before the decimal point, the decimal
result weight estimate was being clamped to 2000, leading to a loss of
precision in the final calculation.
Fix this by replacing the clamping code with an overflow test that
aborts the calculation early if the final result is sure to overflow,
based on the overflow limit in exp_var(). This provides the same
protection against integer overflow in the subsequent result scale
computation as the original clamping code, but it also ensures that
precision is never lost and saves compute cycles in cases that are
sure to overflow.
The new early overflow test works with the initial low-precision
result (expected to be accurate to around 8 significant digits) and
includes a small fuzz factor to ensure that it doesn't kick in for
values that would not overflow exp_var(), so the overall overflow
threshold of pow() is unchanged and consistent for all inputs with
non-integer exponents.

Patch by me, reviewed by David Rowley.
The true explanation for Peter Eisentraut's report of inexact asind results
seems to be that (a) he's compiling into x87 instruction set, which uses
wider-than-double float registers, plus (b) the library function asin() on
his platform returns a result that is wider than double and is not rounded
to double width. To fix, we have to force the function's result to be
rounded comparably to what happened to the scaling constant asin_0_5.
Experimentation suggests that storing it into a volatile local variable is
the least ugly way of making that happen. Although only asin() is known to
exhibit an observable inexact result, we'd better do this in all the places
where we're hoping to get an exact result by scaling.
Commit 65abaab547 tried to prevent the scaling constants used in
the degree-based trig functions from being precomputed at compile time,
because some compilers do that with functions that don't yield results
identical-to-the-last-bit to what you get at runtime. A report from
Peter Eisentraut suggests that some recent compilers are smart enough
to see through that trick, though. Instead, let's put the inputs to
these calculations into non-const global variables, which should be a
more reliable way of convincing the compiler that it can't assume that
they are compile-time constants. (If we really get desperate, we could
mark these variables "volatile", but I do not believe we should have to.)

When we shoehorned "x op ANY (array)" into the SQL syntax, we created a
fundamental ambiguity as to the proper treatment of a sub-SELECT on the
righthand side: perhaps what's meant is to compare x against each row of
the sub-SELECT's result, or perhaps the sub-SELECT is meant as a scalar
sub-SELECT that delivers a single array value whose members should be
compared against x. The grammar resolves it as the former case whenever
the RHS is a select_with_parens, making the latter case hard to reach ---
but you can get at it, with tricks such as attaching a no-op cast to the
sub-SELECT. Parse analysis would throw away the no-op cast, leaving a
parsetree with an EXPR_SUBLINK SubLink directly under a ScalarArrayOpExpr.
ruleutils.c was not clued in on this fine point, and would naively emit
"x op ANY ((SELECT ...))", which would be parsed as the first alternative,
typically leading to errors like "operator does not exist: text = text[]"
during dump/reload of a view or rule containing such a construct. To fix,
emit a no-op cast when dumping such a parsetree. This might well be
exactly what the user wrote to get the construct accepted in the first
place; and even if she got there with some other dodge, it is a valid
representation of the parsetree.

When adjusting the estimate for the number of distinct values from a
rel in a grouped query to take into account the selectivity of the
rel's restrictions, use a formula that is less likely to produce
under-estimates.
The old formula simply multiplied the number of distinct values in the
rel by the restriction selectivity, which would be correct if the
restrictions were fully correlated with the grouping expressions, but
can produce significant under-estimates in cases where they are not
well correlated.
The new formula is based on the random selection probability, and so
assumes that the restrictions are not correlated with the grouping
expressions. This is guaranteed to produce larger estimates, and of
course risks over-estimating in cases where the restrictions are
correlated, but that has less severe consequences than
under-estimating, which might lead to a HashAgg that consumes an
excessive amount of memory.
This could possibly be improved upon in the future by identifying
correlated restrictions and using a hybrid of the old and new
formulae.

Formerly, the geometric I/O routines such as box_in and point_out relied
directly on strtod() and sprintf() for conversion of the float8 component
values of their data types. However, the behavior of those functions is
pretty platform-dependent, especially for edge-case values such as
infinities and NaNs. This was exposed by commit acdf2a8b37, which
added test cases involving boxes with infinity endpoints, and immediately
failed on Windows and AIX buildfarm members. We solved these problems
years ago in the main float8in and float8out functions, so let's fix it
by making the geometric types use that code instead of depending directly
on the platform-supplied functions.
To do this, refactor the float8in code so that it can be used to parse
just part of a string, and as a convenience make the guts of float8out
usable without going through DirectFunctionCall.
While at it, get rid of geo_ops.c's fairly shaky assumptions about the
maximum output string length for a double, by having it build results in
StringInfo buffers instead of fixed-length strings.
In passing, convert all the "invalid input syntax for type foo" messages
in this area of the code into "invalid input syntax for type %s" to reduce
the number of distinct translatable strings, per recent discussion.
We would have needed a fair number of the latter anyway for code-sharing
reasons, so we might as well just go whole hog.
Note: this patch is by no means intended to guarantee that the geometric
types uniformly behave sanely for infinity or NaN component values.
But any bugs we have in that line were there all along, they were just
harder to reach in a platform-independent way.
My compiler doesn't like the lack of initialization of "flag", and
I think it's right: if there were zero keys we'd have an undefined
result. The AND of zero items is TRUE, so initialize to TRUE.
Patch implements quad-tree over boxes, naive approach of 2D quad tree will not
work for any non-point objects because splitting space on node is not
efficient. The idea of pathc is treating 2D boxes as 4D points, so,
object will not overlap (in 4D space).
The performance tests reveal that this technique especially beneficial
with too much overlapping objects, so called "spaghetti data".

interval_mul() attempts to prevent its calculations from producing silly
results, but it forgot that zero times infinity yields NaN in IEEE
arithmetic. Hence, a case like '1 second'::interval * 'infinity'::float8
produced a NaN for the months product, which didn't trigger the range
check, resulting in bogus and possibly platform-dependent output.
This isn't terribly obvious to the naked eye because if you try that
exact case, you get "interval out of range" which is what you expect
--- but if you look closer, the error is coming from interval_out not
interval_mul. interval_mul has allowed a bogus value into the system.
Fix by adding isnan tests.
Noted while testing Vitaly Burovoy's fix for infinity input to
to_timestamp(). Given the lack of field complaints, I doubt this
is worth a back-patch.
With the original SQL-function implementation, such cases failed because
we don't support infinite intervals. Converting the function to C lets
us bypass the interval representation, which should be a bit faster as

This avoids a possible divide-by-zero in the following calculation,
and rounding the number to an integer seems like saner behavior anyway.
Assuming IEEE math, the division would yield +Infinity which would get
replaced by 1.0 at the bottom of the function, so nothing really
interesting would ensue; but avoiding divide-by-zero seems like a
good idea on general principles.

Disabling abbreviated keys in these cases slows down non-C-collation

affected by this problem.
Report by Marc-Olaf Jaschke. Investigation mostly by Tom Lane, with
help from Peter Geoghegan, Noah Misch, Stephen Frost, and me. Patch
by me, reviewed by Peter Geoghegan and Tom Lane.
User-facing (even tested by regression tests) error conditions were thrown
with elog(), hence had wrong SQLSTATE and were untranslatable. And the
error message texts weren't up to project style, either.
jsonb_set() could produce wrong answers or incorrect error reports, or in
the worst case even crash, when trying to convert a path-array element into
an integer for use as an array subscript. Per report from Vitaly Burovoy.
Back-patch to 9.5 where the faulty code was introduced (in commit
c6947010ce).

In HEAD, fix incorrect field width for hours part of OF when tm_gmtoff is
negative. This was introduced by commit 2d87eedc1d as a result of
falsely applying a pattern that's correct when + signs are omitted, which
is not the case for OF.
In 9.4, fix missing abs() call that allowed a sign to be attached to the
minutes part of OF. This was fixed in 9.5 by 9b43d73b3f, but for
inscrutable reasons not back-patched.
In all three versions, ensure that the sign of tm_gmtoff is correctly
reported even when the GMT offset is less than 1 hour.
Add regression tests, which evidently we desperately need here.
Thomas Munro and Tom Lane, per report from David Fetter
Somebody had apparently once figured that casting to unsigned int would
produce the right output for negative inputs, but that would only be
true if 2^32 were a multiple of 7, which of course it ain't. We need
to use a signed division and then correct the sign of the remainder.
AFAICT, the only case where this would arise currently is when doing
ISO-week calculations for dates in 4714BC, where we'd compute a
negative Julian date representing 4714-01-04BC and then do some
arithmetic with it. Since we don't even really document support for
such dates, this is not of much consequence. But we may as well
get it right.
Per report from Vitaly Burovoy.
Tighten the semantics of boundary-case timestamptz so that we allow
timestamps >= '4714-11-24 00:00+00 BC' and < 'ENDYEAR-01-01 00:00+00 AD'
exactly, no more and no less, but it is allowed to enter timestamps
within that range using non-GMT timezone offsets (which could make the
nominal date 4714-11-23 BC or ENDYEAR-01-01 AD). This eliminates
dump/reload failure conditions for timestamps near the endpoints.
To do this, separate checking of the inputs for date2j() from the
final range check, and allow the Julian date code to handle a range
slightly wider than the nominal range of the datatypes.
Also add a bunch of checks to detect out-of-range dates and timestamps
that formerly could be returned by operations such as date-plus-integer.
All C-level functions that return date, timestamp, or timestamptz should
now be proof against returning a value that doesn't pass IS_VALID_DATE()
or IS_VALID_TIMESTAMP().

This patch widens SPI_processed, EState's es_processed field, PortalData's
portalPos field, FuncCallContext's call_cntr and max_calls fields,
ExecutorRun's count argument, PortalRunFetch's result, and the max number
of rows in a SPITupleTable to uint64, and deals with (I hope) all the
ensuing fallout. Some of these values were declared uint32 before, and
others "long".
I also removed PortalData's posOverflow field, since that logic seems
pretty useless given that portalPos is now always 64 bits.
The user-visible results are that command tags for SELECT etc will
correctly report tuple counts larger than 4G, as will plpgsql's GET
GET DIAGNOSTICS ... ROW_COUNT command. Queries processing more tuples
than that are still not exactly the norm, but they're becoming more
common.
Most values associated with FETCH/MOVE distances, such as PortalRun's count
argument and the count argument of most SPI functions that have one, remain
declared as "long". It's not clear whether it would be worth promoting
those to int64; but it would definitely be a large dollop of additional
API churn on top of this, and it would only help 32-bit platforms which
seem relatively less likely to see any benefit.

All along, this function should have treated WindowFuncs in a manner
similar to Aggrefs, ie with an option whether or not to recurse into them.
By not considering the case, it was always recursing, which is OK for most
callers (although I suspect that the case in prepare_sort_from_pathkeys
might represent a bug). But now we need return-without-recursing behavior
as well. There are also more than a few callers that should never see a
WindowFunc, and now we'll get some error checking on that.
In commit 1d97c19a0f and later c1d9579dd8, we extended
pull_var_clause's API by adding enum-type arguments. That's sort of a pain
to maintain, though, because it means every time we add a new behavior we
must touch every last one of the call sites, even if there's a reasonable
default behavior that most of them could use. Let's switch over to using a
bitmask of flags, instead; that seems more maintainable and might save a
nanosecond or two as well. This commit changes no behavior in itself,
though I'm going to follow it up with one that does add a new behavior.
In passing, remove flatten_tlist(), which has not been used since 9.1
and would otherwise need the same API changes.
Removing these enums means that optimizer/tlist.h no longer needs to
depend on optimizer/var.h. Changing that caused a number of C files to
need addition of #include "optimizer/var.h" (probably we can thank old
runs of pgrminclude for that); but on balance it seems like a good change
anyway.
When a process is waiting for a heavyweight lock, we will now indicate
the type of heavyweight lock for which it is waiting. Also, you can
now see when a process is waiting for a lightweight lock - in which
case we will indicate the individual lock name or the tranche, as
appropriate - or for a buffer pin.

Using this facility, any utility command can report the target relation
upon which it is operating, if there is one, and up to 10 64-bit
counters; the intent of this is that users should be able to figure out
what a utility command is doing without having to resort to ugly hacks
like attaching strace to a backend.
As a demonstration, this adds very crude reporting to lazy vacuum; we
just report the target relation and nothing else. A forthcoming patch
will make VACUUM report a bunch of additional data that will make this
much more interesting. But this gets the basic framework in place.

A thinko concerning nesting depth caused json_to_record() to produce bogus
output if a field of its input object contained a sub-object with a field
name matching one of the requested output column names. Per bug #13996
from Johann Visagie.
I added a regression test case based on his example, plus parallel tests
for json_to_recordset, jsonb_to_record, jsonb_to_recordset. The latter
three do not exhibit the same bug (which suggests that we may be missing
some opportunities to share code...) but testing seems like a good idea
in any case.
Back-patch to 9.4 where these functions were introduced.
Commits 9ff60273e3 and dbe2328959 adjusted the declarations
of some core functions referenced by contrib/tsearch2's install script,
forgetting that in a pg_upgrade situation, we'll be trying to restore
operator class definitions that reference the old signatures. We've
hit this problem before; solve it in the same way as before, namely by
installing stub functions that have the expected signature and just
invoke the correct function. Per report from Jeff Janes.
(Someday we ought to stop supporting contrib/tsearch2, but I'm not
sure today is that day.)
A failure partway through PGLC_localeconv() led to a situation where
the next call would call free_struct_lconv() a second time, leading
to free() on already-freed strings, typically leading to a core dump.
Add a flag to remember whether we need to do that.
Per report from Thom Brown. His example case only provokes the failure
as far back as 9.4, but nonetheless this code is obviously broken, so
back-patch to all supported branches.
This patch introduces "pg_blocking_pids(int) returns int[]", which returns
the PIDs of any sessions that are blocking the session with the given PID.
Historically people have obtained such information using a self-join on
the pg_locks view, but it's unreasonably tedious to do it that way with any
modicum of correctness, and the addition of parallel queries has pretty
much broken that approach altogether. (Given some more columns in the view
than there are today, you could imagine handling parallel-query cases with
a 4-way join; but ugh.)
The new function has the following behaviors that are painful or impossible
to get right via pg_locks:
1. Correctly understands which lock modes block which other ones.
2. In soft-block situations (two processes both waiting for conflicting lock
modes), only the one that's in front in the wait queue is reported to
block the other.
3. In parallel-query cases, reports all sessions blocking any member of
the given PID's lock group, and reports a session by naming its leader
process's PID, which will be the pg_backend_pid() value visible to
clients.
The motivation for doing this right now is mostly to fix the isolation
tests. Commit 38f8bdcac4 lobotomized
isolationtester's is-it-waiting query by removing its ability to recognize
nonconflicting lock modes, as a crude workaround for the inability to
handle soft-block situations properly. But even without the lock mode
tests, the old query was excessively slow, particularly in
CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS builds; some of our buildfarm animals fail the new
deadlock-hard test because the deadlock timeout elapses before they can
probe the waiting status of all eight sessions. Replacing the pg_locks
self-join with use of pg_blocking_pids() is not only much more correct, but
a lot faster: I measure it at about 9X faster in a typical dev build with
Asserts, and 3X faster in CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS builds. That should provide
enough headroom for the slower CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS animals to pass the
test, without having to lengthen deadlock_timeout yet more and thus slow
down the test for everyone else.
Some over-eager copy-and-pasting on my part resulted in a nonsense
result being returned in this case. I have adopted the same pattern for
handling this case as is used in the one argument form of the function,
i.e. we just skip over the code that adds values to the object.
Diagnosis and patch from Michael Paquier, although not quite his
solution.
Fixes bug #13936.
Backpatch to 9.5 where jsonb_object was introduced.
Commit 53874c5228 broke various 32-bit
buildfarm machines because it incorrectly used an 'L' suffix for what
needed to be a 64-bit literal. Thanks to Michael Paquier for helping
to diagnose this.
This will parse strings in the format produced by pg_size_pretty() and
return sizes in bytes. This allows queries to be written with clauses
like "pg_total_relation_size(oid) > pg_size_bytes('10 GB')".

When processing ordered aggregates following a sort that could make use
of the abbreviated key optimization, only call the equality operator to
compare successive pairs of tuples when their abbreviated keys were not
equal.

Since pgindent treats typedef names as global, the original coding of
b47b4dbf68 would have had rather nasty effects on the formatting
of other files in which "string" is used as a variable or field name.
Use a less generic name for this typedef, and rename some other
identifiers to match.

The parser doesn't allow qualification of column names appearing in
these clauses, but ruleutils.c would sometimes qualify them, leading
to dump/reload failures. Per bug #13891 from Onder Kalaci.
(In passing, make stanzas in ruleutils.c that save/restore varprefix
more consistent.)

It seems that sprintf(), at least in glibc's version, is unreasonably slow
compared to hand-rolled code for printing integers. Replacing most uses of
sprintf() in the datetime.c output functions with special-purpose code
turns out to give more than a 2X speedup in COPY of a table with a single
timestamp column; which is pretty impressive considering all the other
logic in that code path.

An example use-case is "CHECK(num_nonnulls(a,b,c) = 1)" to assert that
exactly one of a,b,c isn't NULL. The functions are variadic, so they
can also be pressed into service to count the number of null or nonnull
elements in an array.

Have varlena.c expose an interface that allows the char(n), bytea, and
bpchar types to piggyback on a now-generalized SortSupport for text.
This pushes a little more knowledge of the bpchar/char(n) type into
varlena.c than might be preferred, but that seems like the approach
that creates least friction. Also speed things up for index builds
that use text_pattern_ops or varchar_pattern_ops.
This patch does quite a bit of renaming, but it seems likely to be
worth it, so as to avoid future confusion about the fact that this code
is now more generally used than the old names might have suggested.

Commit e09996ff8d was one brick shy of a load: it didn't insist
that the detected JSON number be the whole of the supplied string.
This allowed inputs such as "2016-01-01" to be misdetected as valid JSON
numbers. Per bug #13906 from Dmitry Ryabov.
In passing, be more wary of zero-length input (I'm not sure this can
happen given current callers, but better safe than sorry), and do some
minor cosmetic cleanup.
Buildfarm member cockatiel is still saying that cosd(60) isn't 0.5.
What seems likely is that the subexpression (1.0 - cos(x)) isn't being
rounded to double width before more arithmetic is done on it, so force
that by storing it into a variable.
