This provides a newer version of adminpack which works with the newly
added default roles to support GRANT'ing to non-superusers access to
read and write files, along with related functions (unlinking files,
getting file length, renaming/removing files, scanning the log file
directory) which are supported through adminpack.
Note that new versions of the functions are required because an
environment might have an updated version of the library but still have
the old adminpack 1.0 catalog definitions (where EXECUTE is GRANT'd to
PUBLIC for the functions).
This patch also removes the long-deprecated alternative names for
functions that adminpack used to include and which are now included in
the backend, in adminpack v1.1. Applications using the deprecated names
should be updated to use the backend functions instead. Existing
installations which continue to use adminpack v1.0 should continue to
function until/unless adminpack is upgraded.

This patch adds new default roles named 'pg_read_server_files',
'pg_write_server_files', 'pg_execute_server_program' which
allow an administrator to GRANT to a non-superuser role the ability to
access server-side files or run programs through PostgreSQL (as the user
the database is running as). Having one of these roles allows a
non-superuser to use server-side COPY to read, write, or with a program,
and to use file_fdw (if installed by a superuser and GRANT'd USAGE on
it) to read from files or run a program.
The existing misc file functions are also changed to allow a user with
the 'pg_read_server_files' default role to read any files on the
filesystem, matching the privileges given to that role through COPY and
file_fdw from above.

This makes it possible to turn checksums on in a live cluster, without
the previous need for dump/reload or logical replication (and to turn it
off).
Enabling checkusm starts a background process in the form of a
launcher/worker combination that goes through the entire database and
recalculates checksums on each and every page. Only when all pages have
been checksummed are they fully enabled in the cluster. Any failure of
the process will revert to checksums off and the process has to be
started.
This adds a new WAL record that indicates the state of checksums, so
the process works across replicated clusters.

Vacuum of index consists from two stages: multiple (zero of more) ambulkdelete
calls and one amvacuumcleanup call. When workload on particular table
is append-only, then autovacuum isn't intended to touch this table. However,
user may run vacuum manually in order to fill visibility map and get benefits
of index-only scans. Then ambulkdelete wouldn't be called for indexes
of such table (because no heap tuples were deleted), only amvacuumcleanup would
be called In this case, amvacuumcleanup would perform full index scan for
two objectives: put recyclable pages into free space map and update index
statistics.
This patch allows btvacuumclanup to skip full index scan when two conditions
are satisfied: no pages are going to be put into free space map and index
statistics isn't stalled. In order to check first condition, we store
oldest btpo_xact in the meta-page. When it's precedes RecentGlobalXmin, then
there are some recyclable pages. In order to check second condition we store
number of heap tuples observed during previous full index scan by cleanup.
If fraction of newly inserted tuples is less than
vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor, then statistics isn't considered to be
stalled. vacuum_cleanup_index_scale_factor can be defined as both reloption and GUC (default).
This patch bumps B-tree meta-page version. Upgrade of meta-page is performed
"on the fly": during VACUUM meta-page is rewritten with new version. No special
handling in pg_upgrade is required.

When base backups are run over the replication protocol (for example
using pg_basebackup), verify the checksums of all data blocks if
checksums are enabled. If checksum failures are encountered, log them
as warnings but don't abort the backup.
This becomes the default behaviour in pg_basebackup (provided checksums
are enabled on the server), so add a switch (-k) to disable the checks

MERGE performs actions that modify rows in the target table
using a source table or query. MERGE provides a single SQL
statement that can conditionally INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rows
a task that would other require multiple PL statements.
e.g.
MERGE INTO target AS t
USING source AS s
ON t.tid = s.sid
WHEN MATCHED AND t.balance > s.delta THEN
UPDATE SET balance = t.balance - s.delta
WHEN MATCHED THEN
DELETE
WHEN NOT MATCHED AND s.delta > 0 THEN
INSERT VALUES (s.sid, s.delta)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
DO NOTHING;
MERGE works with regular and partitioned tables, including
column and row security enforcement, as well as support for
row, statement and transition triggers.
MERGE is optimized for OLTP and is parameterizable, though
also useful for large scale ETL/ELT. MERGE is not intended
to be used in preference to existing single SQL commands
for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE since there is some overhead.
MERGE can be used statically from PL/pgSQL.
MERGE does not yet support inheritance, write rules,
RETURNING clauses, updatable views or foreign tables.
MERGE follows SQL Standard per the most recent SQL:2016.
Includes full tests and documentation, including full
isolation tests to demonstrate the concurrent behavior.

Since commit 7012b132d0, postgres_fdw
has been able to push down the toplevel aggregation operation to the
remote server. Commit e2f1eb0ee3 made
it possible to break down the toplevel aggregation into one
aggregate per partition. This commit lets postgres_fdw push down
aggregation in that case just as it does at the top level.
In order to make this work, this commit adds an additional argument
to the GetForeignUpperPaths FDW API. A matching argument is added
to the signature for create_upper_paths_hook. Third-party code using
either of these will need to be updated.
Also adjust create_foreignscan_plan() so that it picks up the correct
set of relids in this case.

Add a new, optional, capability to bt_index_check() and
bt_index_parent_check(): check that each heap tuple that should have an
index entry does in fact have one. The extra checking is performed at
the end of the existing nbtree checks.
This is implemented by using a Bloom filter data structure. The
implementation performs set membership tests within a callback (the same
type of callback that each index AM registers for CREATE INDEX). The
Bloom filter is populated during the initial index verification scan.
Reusing the CREATE INDEX infrastructure allows the new verification
option to automatically benefit from the heap consistency checks that
CREATE INDEX already performs. CREATE INDEX does thorough sanity
checking of HOT chains, so the new check actually manages to detect
problems in heap-only tuples.

Previously, committing or aborting inside a cursor loop was prohibited
because that would close and remove the cursor. To allow that,
automatically convert such cursors to holdable cursors so they survive
commits or rollbacks. Portals now have a new state "auto-held", which
means they have been converted automatically from pinned. An auto-held
portal is kept on transaction commit or rollback, but is still removed
when returning to the main loop on error.
This supports all languages that have cursor loop constructs: PL/pgSQL,
PL/Python, PL/Perl.

Currently adding a column to a table with a non-NULL default results in
a rewrite of the table. For large tables this can be both expensive and
disruptive. This patch removes the need for the rewrite as long as the
default value is not volatile. The default expression is evaluated at
the time of the ALTER TABLE and the result stored in a new column
(attmissingval) in pg_attribute, and a new column (atthasmissing) is set
to true. Any existing row when fetched will be supplied with the
attmissingval. New rows will have the supplied value or the default and
so will never need the attmissingval.
Any time the table is rewritten all the atthasmissing and attmissingval
settings for the attributes are cleared, as they are no longer needed.
The most visible code change from this is in heap_attisnull, which
acquires a third TupleDesc argument, allowing it to detect a missing
value if there is one. In many cases where it is known that there will
not be any (e.g. catalog relations) NULL can be passed for this
argument.

Previously, PQhost didn't return the connected host details when the
connection type was CHT_HOST_ADDRESS (i.e., via hostaddr). Instead, it
returned the complete host connection parameter (which could contain
multiple hosts) or the default host details, which was confusing and
arguably incorrect.
Change this to return the actually connected host or hostaddr
irrespective of the connection type. When hostaddr but no host was
specified, hostaddr is now returned. Never return the original host
connection parameter, and document that PQhost cannot be relied on
before the connection is established.
PQport is similarly changed to always return the active connection port
and never the original connection parameter.

pairwise. Since the resolution algorithm is described as taking any
number of inputs, readers might well think that a query like
"select x union select y union select z" would be resolved by

happens (and I think that behavior is per SQL spec). Add an example
