Recent additions to the subscription tests check for log entries, but
fail to account for the possible presence of an SQL errror code, which
happens if log_error_verbosity is set to 'verbose'. Add this into the
regular expressions that are checked for.
In commit ec62cb0aa, I foolishly replaced ExecEvalWholeRowVar's
lookup_rowtype_tupdesc_domain call with just lookup_rowtype_tupdesc,
because I didn't see how a domain could be involved there, and
there were no regression test cases to jog my memory. But the
existing code was correct, so revert that change and add a test
case showing why it's necessary. (Note: per comment in struct
DatumTupleFields, it is correct to produce an output tuple that's
labeled with the base composite type, not the domain; hence just
blindly looking through the domain is correct here.)
Per bug #17515 from Dan Kubb. Back-patch to v11 where domains over
composites became a thing.

This function can be called from mark_async_capable_plan(), a helper
function for create_append_plan(), before set_subqueryscan_references(),
to determine the triviality of a SubqueryScan that is a child of an
Append plan node, which is done before doing finalize_plan() on the
SubqueryScan (if necessary) and set_plan_references() on the subplan,
unlike when called from set_subqueryscan_references(). The reason why

The new show-all-results feature in psql (7844c9918) went out of its
way to show notices next to the results of the statements (in a
multi-statement string) that caused them. This also had the
consequence that notices for a single statement were not shown until
after the statement had executed, instead of right away. After some
discussion, it seems very difficult to satisfy both of these goals, so
here we are giving up on the first goal and just show the notices as
we get them. This restores the pre-7844c9918 behavior for notices.

The original advice for hard-wired SetConfigOption calls was to use
PGC_S_OVERRIDE, particularly for PGC_INTERNAL GUCs. However,
that's really overkill for PGC_INTERNAL GUCs, since there is no
possibility that we need to override a user-provided setting.
Instead use PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT in most places, so that the
value will appear with source = 'default' in pg_settings and thereby
not be shown by psql's new \dconfig command. The one exception is
that when changing in_hot_standby in a hot-standby session, we still
use PGC_S_OVERRIDE, because people felt that seeing that in \dconfig
would be a good thing.
Similarly use PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT for the auto-tune value of
wal_buffers (if possible, that is if wal_buffers wasn't explicitly
set to -1), and for the typical 2MB value of max_stack_depth.
In combination these changes remove four not-very-interesting
entries from the typical output of \dconfig, all of which people
fingered as "why is that showing up?" in the discussion thread.

The patch introducing jsonpath dropped a para about that between
two related examples, and didn't bother updating the introductory
sentences that it falsified. The grammar was pretty shaky as well.
Some locales use a comma as decimal separator (like Czech or French),
and psql's 001_basic.pl for \timing was not able to handle that
properly. This fixes the matching regexes to be able to handle both
comma and dot as possible decimal separators, as per a suggestion from
Andrew Dunstan.

38bfae3 has moved the contents written to files by pg_upgrade under a
new directory called pg_upgrade_output.d/ located in the new cluster's
data folder, and it used a simple structure made of two subdirectories
leading to a fixed structure: log/ and dump/. This design has made
weaker pg_upgrade on repeated calls, as we could get failures when
creating one or more of those directories, while potentially losing the
logs of a previous run (logs are retained automatically on failure, and
cleaned up on success unless --retain is specified). So a user would
need to clean up pg_upgrade_output.d/ as an extra step for any repeated
calls of pg_upgrade. The most common scenario here is --check followed
by the actual upgrade, but one could see a failure when specifying an
incorrect input argument value. Removing entirely the logs would have
the disadvantage of removing all the past information, even if --retain
was specified at some past step.
This result is annoying for a lot of users and automated upgrade flows.
So, rather than requiring a manual removal of pg_upgrade_output.d/, this
redesigns the set of output directories in a more dynamic way, based on
a suggestion from Tom Lane and Daniel Gustafsson. pg_upgrade_output.d/
is still the base path, but a second directory level is added, mostly
named after an ISO-8601-formatted timestamp (in short human-readable,
with milliseconds appended to the name to avoid any conflicts). The
logs and dumps are saved within the same subdirectories as previously,
as of log/ and dump/, but these are located inside the subdirectory
named after the timestamp.
The logs of a given run are removed only after a successful run if
--retain is not used, and pg_upgrade_output.d/ is kept if there are any
logs from a previous run. Note that previously, pg_upgrade would have
kept the logs even after a successful --check but that was inconsistent
compared to the case without --check when using --retain. The code in
charge of the removal of the output directories is now refactored into a
single routine.
Two TAP tests are added with some --check commands (one failure case and
one success case), to look after the issue fixed here. Note that the
tests had to be tweaked a bit to fit with the new directory structure so
as it can find any logs generated on failure. This is still going to
require a change in the buildfarm client for the case where pg_upgrade
is tested without the TAP test, though, but I'll tackle that with a
separate patch where needed.

Bug #17512 highlighted that a suitably broken data type could cause the
backend to crash if either the hash function or equality function were in
someway non-deterministic based on their input values. Such a data type
could cause a crash of the backend due to some code which assumes that
we'll always find a hash table entry corresponding to an item in the
Memoize LRU list.
Here we remove the assumption that we'll always find the entry
corresponding to the given LRU list item and add run-time checks to verify
we have found the given item in the cache.

psql --single-transaction is able to handle multiple -c and -f switches
in a single transaction since d5563d7d, but this had the surprising
behavior of forcing a transaction COMMIT even if psql failed with an
error in the client (for example incorrect path given to \copy), which
would generate an error, but still commit any changes that were already
applied in the backend. This commit makes the behavior more consistent,
by enforcing a transaction ROLLBACK if any commands fail, both
client-side and backend-side, so as no changes are applied if one error
happens in any of them.
Some tests are added on HEAD to provide some coverage about all that.
Backend-side errors are unreliable as IPC::Run can complain on SIGPIPE
if psql quits before reading a query result, but that should work
properly in the case where any errors come from psql itself, which is
what the original report is about.

The hard-wired PageOutput arguments in usage() and sibling functions
have been a perennial maintenance gotcha, and there's no reason to
think we'll ever get any better about that. Let's get rid of those
magic constants by constructing the output in a buffer where we can
count the newlines before calling PageOutput. (Perhaps this is
microscopically slower; but none of these functions are performance
critical, and anyway we might well be buying back all the cost by
avoiding having to pass most of the data through snprintf.c. I could
not detect any speed difference in a desultory check.) This also
gets rid of the need to assume that platform-specific variations in
the output are insignificant.
While at it, make the code shorter and more abstract by inventing
helper macros HELP0() and HELPN() to encapsulate the specific
output actions being invoked.

TAP tests are run from their own directory in the source tree, and in a
VPATH build the execution of the pg_upgrade command was leaving behind a
file in the source tree, that should be left untouched. In order to
avoid this issue, the test moves to PostgreSQL::Test::Utils::tmp_check,
so as any files generated by pg_upgrade do not impact the source tree,
but the build tree. This has as nice side-effect to make unnessary the
presence of such files in pg_upgrade's .gitignore and Makefile. This
strategy is similar to psql's test 010_tab_completion.pl, though the
reasons behind this choice are different.

Currently, we simply combine the column lists when publishing tables on
multiple publications and that can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior.
Say, if a column is published in any row-filtered publication, then the
values for that column are sent to the subscriber even for rows that don't
match the row filter, as long as the row matches the row filter for any
other publication, even if that other publication doesn't include the
column.
The main purpose of introducing a column list is to have statically
different shapes on publisher and subscriber or hide sensitive column
data. In both cases, it doesn't seem to make sense to combine column
lists.
So, we disallow the cases where the column list is different for the same
table when combining publications. It can be later extended to combine the
column lists for selective cases where required.

This reverts commit d9d076222f "VACUUM: ignore indexing operations
with CONCURRENTLY".
These changes caused indexes created with the CONCURRENTLY option to
miss heap tuples that were HOT-updated and HOT-pruned during the index
creation. Before these changes, HOT pruning would have been prevented
by the Xmin of the transaction creating the index, but because this
change was precisely to allow the Xmin to move forward ignoring that
backend, now other backends scanning the table can prune them. This is
not a problem for VACUUM (which requires a lock that conflicts with a
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY operation), but HOT-prune can definitely
occur. In other words, Xmin advancement was sped up, but at the cost of
corrupting the resulting index.
Regrettably, this means that the new feature in PG14 that RIC/CIC on
very large tables no longer force VACUUM to retain very old tuples goes
away. We might try to implement it again in a later release, but for
now the risk of indexes missing tuples is too high and there's no easy
fix.

Commit 1a36bc9db (SQL/JSON query functions) introduced STRING as a
type_func_name_keyword, thereby breaking applications that use
"string" as a table name, column name, function parameter name, etc.
That seems like a pretty bad thing, not least because the SQL spec
says that STRING is an unreserved keyword.
This is easy enough to fix so far as the core grammar is concerned.
However, doing so causes some ECPG test cases to fail, specifically
those that use "string" as a typedef name. It turns out this is
because portions of the ECPG grammar allow type_func_name_keywords
but not unreserved_keywords as typedef names. That's pretty horrid,
and it's mildly astonishing that we've not heard complaints about it
before. We can fix two of those uses trivially, but the ones in the
var_type production are less easy. As a stopgap, hard-code STRING as
an allowed alternative in var_type.

single-item cache for transaction IDs in transam.c, the cache may finish
by not be hit for a long time, and without an invalidation mechanism to
clear it, it would cause inconsistent results on wraparound for
example. Second, the use of SubTransGetTopmostTransaction() for the
caching has a limited impact on performance. SubTransGetParent() could
have more impact, though the benchmarking of the single-item approach
still needs to be proved, particularly under the conditions where SLRU
