This commit expands more the refactoring of the regression tests of
pg_stat_statements, with tests moved out of pg_stat_statements.sql into
separate files. The following file structure is now used:
- select is mostly the former pg_stat_statements.sql, renamed.
- dml for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE and MERGE
- user_activity, to test role-level checks and stat resets.
- wal, to check the WAL generation after some queries.
Like e8dbdb1, there is no change in terms of code coverage or results,
and this finishes the split I was aiming for in these tests. Most of
the tests used "test" of "pgss_test" as names for the tables used, these
are renamed to less generic names.

This commit adds more coverage for utility statements so as it is
possible to track down all the effects of query normalization done for
all the queries that use either Const or A_Const nodes, which are the
nodes where normalization makes the most sense as they apply to
constants (well, most of the time, really).
This set of queries is extracted from an analysis done while looking at
full dumps of the regression database when applying different levels of
normalization to either Const or A_Const nodes for utilities, as of a
minimal set of these, for:
- All relkinds (CREATE, ALTER, DROP)
- Policies
- Cursors
- Triggers
- Types
- Rules
- Statistics
- CALL
- Transaction statements (isolation level, options)
- EXPLAIN
- COPY
Note that pg_stat_statements is not switched yet to show any
normalization for utilities, still it improves the default coverage of
the query jumbling code (not by as much as enabling query jumbling on
the main regression test suite, though):
- queryjumblefuncs.funcs.c: 36.8% => 48.5%
- queryjumblefuncs.switch.c: 33.2% => 43.1%

pg_stat_statements.sql acts as the main file for all the core tests of
the module, but things have become complicated to follow over the years
as some of the sub-scenarios tested in this file rely on assumptions
that come from completely different areas of it, like a GUC setup or a
relation created previously. For example, row tracking for CTAS/COPY
was looking at the number of plans, which was not necessary, or level
tracking was mixed with checks on planner counts.
This commit refactors the tests of pg_stat_statements, by moving test
cases out of pg_stat_statements.sql into their own file, as of:
- Planning-related tests in planning.sql, for [re]plan counts and
top-level handling. These depend on pg_stat_statements.track_planning.
- Utilities in utility.sql (pg_stat_statements.track_utility), that
includes now the tests for:
-- Row tracking for CTAS, CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW, COPY.
-- Basic utility statements.
-- SET statements.
- Tracking level, depending on pg_stat_statements.track. This part has
been looking at scenarios with DO blocks, PL functions and SQL
functions.
pg_stat_statements.sql (still named the same for now) still includes
some checks for role-level tracking and WAL generation metrics, that
ought to become independent in the long term for clarity.
While on it, this switches the order of the attributes when querying
pg_stat_statements, the query field becoming last. This makes much
easier the tracking of changes related to normalization, as queries are
the only variable-length attributes queried (unaligned mode would be one
extra choice, but that reduces the checks on the other fields).
Test scenarios and their results match exactly with what was happening
before this commit in terms of calls, number of plans, number of rows,
cached data or level tracking, so this has no effect on the coverage in
terms of what is produced by the reports in the table
pg_stat_statements. A follow-up patch will extend more the tests of
pg_stat_statements around utilities, so this split creates a foundation
for this purpose, without complicating more pg_stat_statements.sql.

It's likely worth adding some automated way of preventing further
omissions. We're discussing how to best do that.

To run all tests that support running against existing server:
$ meson test --setup running
To run just the main pg_regress tests against existing server:
$ meson test --setup running regress-running/regress
To ensure the 'running' setup continues to work, test it as part of the
freebsd CI task.

The generated resource files aren't exactly the same ones as the old
buildsystems generate. Previously "InternalName" and "OriginalFileName" were
mostly wrong / not set (despite being required), but that was hard to fix in
at least the make build. Additionally, the meson build falls back to a
"auto-generated" description when not set, and doesn't set it in a few cases -
unlikely that anybody looks at these descriptions in detail.

Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle
it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow
incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for
developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other
issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together
they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system.
After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a
good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects.
We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of
the new build system and mature it in tree.
This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports
building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For
Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for
incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but
building slower).
Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM
bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits
requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only
extensions) are not yet addressed.
When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual
studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support
MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism.
The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon
after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the
autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at
least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported
versions build with meson.
