The old coding was getting more complicated as new things were added,
and it would be barely tolerable with upcoming WARM updates and other
future features such as indirect indexes. The new coding incurs a small
performance cost in synthetic benchmark cases, and is barely measurable
in normal cases. A much larger benefit is expected from WARM, which
could actually bolt its needs on top of the existing coding, but it is
much uglier and bug-prone than doing it on this new code. Additional
optimization can be applied on top of this, if need be.

With sufficiently bad luck, it was possible for a parallel worker to
attempt attach to a DSA area after all other backends have detached
from it, which is not legal. If the worker had waited a little longer
to get started, the DSM itself would have been destroyed, which is why
this wasn't noticed before.

copyObject() is declared to return void *, which allows easily assigning
the result independent of the input, but it loses all type checking.
If the compiler supports typeof or something similar, cast the result to
the input type. This creates a greater amount of type safety. In some
cases, where the result is assigned to a generic type such as Node * or
Expr *, new casts are now necessary, but in general casts are now
unnecessary in the normal case and indicate that something unusual is
happening.

dsm_create and dsm_attach assumed that a current resource owner was
always in place. Exploration with the API show that this is
inconvenient: sometimes one must create a dummy resowner, create/attach
the DSM, only to pin the mapping later, which is wasteful. Change
create/attach so that if there is no current resowner, the dsm is
effectively pinned right from the start.

Formerly, a Var referencing an already-dropped column was allowed and would
always produce a NULL value. However, that behavior was implemented in
slot_getattr which the new expression code doesn't use; thus there is now a
risk of returning theoretically-deleted data. We had regression test cases
that purported to exercise this, but they failed to expose any problem,
apparently because plpgsql filters the dropped column and produces an
output tuple that has a NULL there already.
Ideally the DROP or ALTER attempt in these test cases would get rejected
due to dependency checks; but until that happens, let's modify the behavior
so that we fail the query during executor start. This was already true for
the related case of a column having changed type underneath us, and there's
no obvious reason why we need to be laxer for dropped columns.
In passing, adjust the error messages in CheckVarSlotCompatibility to
include the composite type name. In the cases shown in the regression
tests this is always just "record", but it should be more useful in
actual stale-plan cases, where the slot tupdesc would be a table's
tupdesc directly.

There are no functional changes here; this simply encapsulates knowledge
of the ItemPointerData struct so that a future patch can change things
without more breakage.
All direct users of ip_blkid and ip_posid are changed to use existing
macros ItemPointerGetBlockNumber and ItemPointerGetOffsetNumber
respectively. For callers where that's inappropriate (because they
Assert that the itempointer is is valid-looking), add
ItemPointerGetBlockNumberNoCheck and ItemPointerGetOffsetNumberNoCheck,
which lack the assertion but are otherwise identical.

We were assigning values near 255 through "char *" pointers. On machines
where char is signed, that's not entirely kosher, and it's reasonable
for compilers to warn about it.
A better solution would be to change the pointer type to "unsigned char *",
but that would be vastly more invasive. For the moment, let's just apply
this simple backpatchable solution.

The trouble with the original choice here is that "?" is a valid (and
indeed used) operator name, so that you could end up with ambiguous
statement texts like "SELECT ? ? ?". With this patch, you instead
see "SELECT $1 ? $2", which seems significantly more readable.
The numbers used for this purpose begin after the last actual $N parameter
in the particular query. The conflict with external parameters has its own
potential for confusion of course, but it was agreed to be an improvement
over the previous behavior.

The code for the reworked n-distinct estimation on commit 7b504eb282 was
written differently in a previous version of the patch, prior to commit;
on rewriting it, we missed updating an initializer. This caused the
code to (mistakenly) apply a fudge factor even in the case where a
single value is applied, leading to incorrect results.
This means that the 'relvarcount' variable name is now wrong. Add a
comment to try and make the situation clearer, and remove an incorrect
comment I added.

This extends the Aggregate node with two new features: HashAggregate
can now run multiple hashtables concurrently, and a new strategy
MixedAggregate populates hashtables while doing sorted grouping.
The planner will now attempt to save as many sorts as possible when
planning grouping sets queries, while not exceeding work_mem for the
estimated combined sizes of all hashtables used. No SQL-level changes
are required. There should be no user-visible impact other than the
new EXPLAIN output and possible changes to result ordering when ORDER
BY was not used (which affected a few regression tests). The
enable_hashagg option is respected.

to a database (such as the logical replication launcher) weren't
shown. Include them, so that we can see the associated wait state

Before this patch was written, there was discussion about whether we
should expose this information in a separate view, so as to avoid
contaminating pg_stat_activity with things people might not want to
see. But putting everything in pg_stat_activity was a more popular
choice, so that's what the patch does.

In commit b8d7f053c, we needed to fix ExecEvalWholeRowVar to not change
the state of the slot it's copying. The initial quick hack at that
required two rounds of tuple construction, which is not very nice.
To fix, add another primitive to tuptoaster.c that does precisely what
we need. (I initially tried to do this by refactoring one of the
existing functions into two pieces; but it looked like that might hurt
performance for the existing case, and the amount of code that could
be shared is not very large, so I gave up on that.)

Change one more place where ExecInitCheck/ExecPrepareCheck's insistence
on getting implicit-AND-format quals wasn't really helpful, because the
caller had to do make_ands_implicit() for no reason that it cared about.
Using ExecPrepareExpr directly simplifies the code and saves cycles.
The only remaining use of these functions is to process
resultRelInfo->ri_PartitionCheck quals. However, implicit-AND format
does seem to be what we want for that, so leave it alone.

The compiler is entitled to store a char[] local variable with no
particular alignment requirement. Our RADIUS code cavalierly took such
a local variable and cast its address to a struct type that does have
alignment requirements. On an alignment-picky machine this would lead
to bus errors. To fix, declare the local variable honestly, and then
cast its address to char * for use in the I/O calls.
Given the lack of field complaints, there must be very few if any
people affected; but nonetheless this is a clear portability issue,
so back-patch to all supported branches.
Noted while looking at a Coverity complaint in the same code.
Failure to free serveraddrs pointed out by Coverity, failure to close
socket noted by code-reading. These bugs seem to be quite old, but
given the low probability of taking these error-exit paths and the
minimal consequences of the leaks (since the process would presumably
exit shortly anyway), it doesn't seem worth back-patching.
