Commit a117cebd63 used the original userid
for ACL checks located directly in DefineIndex(), but it still adopted
the table owner userid for more ACL checks than intended. That broke
dump/reload of indexes that refer to an operator class, collation, or
exclusion operator in a schema other than "public" or "pg_catalog".
Back-patch to v10 (all supported versions), like the earlier commit.

These test cases have been commented out since citext was invented,
because at the time we had no nice way to deal with tests that
have restrictions such as requiring UTF8 encoding. But now we do
have a convention for that, ie put them into a separate test file
with an early-exit path. So let's enable these tests to run when
their prerequisites are satisfied.
(We may have to tighten the prerequisites beyond the "encoding = UTF8
and locale != C" checks made here. But let's put it on the buildfarm
and see what blows up.)

Historically we've put type "char" into the S (String) typcategory,
although calling it a string is a stretch considering it can only
store one byte. (In our actual usage, it's more like an enum.)
This choice now seems wrong in view of the special heuristics
that parse_func.c and parse_coerce.c have for TYPCATEGORY_STRING:
it's not a great idea for "char" to have those preferential casting
behaviors.
Worse than that, recent patches inventing special-purpose types
like pg_node_tree have assigned typcategory S to those types,
meaning they also get preferential casting treatment that's designed
on the assumption that they can hold arbitrary text.
To fix, invent a new category TYPCATEGORY_INTERNAL for internal-use
types, and assign that to all these types. I used code 'Z' for
lack of a better idea ('I' was already taken).
This change breaks one query in psql/describe.c, which now needs to
explicitly cast a catalog "char" column to text before concatenating
it with an undecorated literal. Also, a test case in contrib/citext
now needs an explicit cast to convert citext to "char". Since the
point of this change is to not have "char" be a surprisingly-available
cast target, these breakages seem OK.
Per report from Ian Campbell.

SQL:1999 had syntax
SUBSTRING(text FROM pattern FOR escapechar)
but this was replaced in SQL:2003 by the more clear
SUBSTRING(text SIMILAR pattern ESCAPE escapechar)
but this was never implemented in PostgreSQL. This patch adds that
new syntax as an alternative in the parser, and updates documentation
and tests to indicate that this is the preferred alternative now.

This reverts commit 890faaf1 which attempted unsuccessfully to deal with
the problem, and instead just comments out these tests like other similar
tests elsewhere in the script.
I'd supposed that people would do this manually when creating new operator
classes, but the folly of that was exposed today. The tests seem fast
enough that we can just apply them during the normal regression tests.
contrib/isn fails the checks for lack of complete sets of cross-type
operators. That's a nice-to-have policy rather than a functional
requirement, so leave it as-is, but insert ORDER BY in the query to
ensure consistent cross-platform output.

In btree_gin and citext, avoid some not-particularly-interesting
dependencies on the sorting of 'aa'. In tsearch2, use COLLATE "C" to
remove an uninteresting dependency on locale sort order (and thereby
allow removal of a variant expected-file).
Also, in citext, avoid assuming that lower('I') = 'i'. This isn't relevant
to Danish but it does fail in Turkish.
These functions should return SETOF TEXT[], like the core functions they
are wrappers for; but they were incorrectly declared as returning just
TEXT[]. This mistake had two results: first, if there was no match you got
a scalar null result, whereas what you should get is an empty set (zero
rows). Second, the 'g' flag was effectively ignored, since you would get
only one result array even if there were multiple matches, as reported by
Jeff Certain.
While ignoring 'g' is a clear bug, the behavior for no matches might well
have been thought to be the intended behavior by people who hadn't compared
it carefully to the core regexp_matches() functions. So we should tread
carefully about introducing this change in the back branches. Still, it
clearly is a bug and so providing some fix is desirable.
After discussion, the conclusion was to introduce the change in a 1.1
version of the citext extension (as we would need to do anyway); 1.0 still
contains the incorrect behavior. 1.1 is the default and only available
version in HEAD, but it is optional in the back branches, where 1.0 remains
the default version. People wishing to adopt the fix in back branches will
need to explicitly do ALTER EXTENSION citext UPDATE TO '1.1'. (I also
provided a downgrade script in the back branches, so people could go back
to 1.0 if necessary.)
This should be called out as an incompatible change in the 9.5 release
notes, although we'll also document it in the next set of back-branch
release notes. The notes should mention that any views or rules that use
citext's regexp_matches() functions will need to be dropped before
upgrading to 1.1, and then recreated again afterwards.
Back-patch to 9.1. The bug goes all the way back to citext's introduction
in 8.4, but pre-9.1 there is no extension mechanism with which to manage
the change. Given the lack of previous complaints it seems unnecessary to
change this behavior in 9.0, anyway.
Testing convert_to(..., 'ISO-8859-1') fails if there isn't a conversion
function available from the database encoding to ISO-8859-1. This has
been broken since day one, but the breakage was hidden by
pg_do_encoding_conversion's failure to complain, up till commit
49c817eab7.
Since the data being converted in this test is plain ASCII, no actual
conversion need happen (and if it did, it would prove little about citext
anyway). So that we still have some code coverage of the convert() family
of functions, let's switch to using convert_from, with SQL_ASCII as the
specified source encoding. Per buildfarm.
REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY was broken for any matview
containing a column of a type without a default btree operator
class. It also did not produce results consistent with a non-
concurrent REFRESH or a normal view if any column was of a type
which allowed user-visible differences between values which
compared as equal according to the type's default btree opclass.
Concurrent matview refresh was modified to use the new operators
to solve these problems.
Documentation was added for record comparison, both for the
default btree operator class for record, and the newly added
operators. Regression tests now check for proper behavior both
for a matview with a box column and a matview containing a citext
column.

This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the
"foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK. But it's time to get some
buildfarm cycles on it.
sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to
require a very nonstandard installation process.
