Set min_recovery_apply_delay to force a delay in recovery apply for commit and
restore point WAL records. Other records are replayed immediately. Delay is
measured between WAL record time and local standby time.

When wal_level=logical, we'll log columns from the old tuple as
configured by the REPLICA IDENTITY facility added in commit
07cacba983. This makes it possible
a properly-configured logical replication solution to correctly
follow table updates even if they change the chosen key columns,
or, with REPLICA IDENTITY FULL, even if the table has no key at
all. Note that updates which do not modify the replica identity
column won't log anything extra, making the choice of a good key
(i.e. one that will rarely be changed) important to performance
when wal_level=logical is configured.
Each insert, update, or delete to a catalog table will also log
the CMIN and/or CMAX values of stamped by the current transaction.
This is necessary because logical decoding will require access to
historical snapshots of the catalog in order to decode some data
types, and the CMIN/CMAX values that we may need in order to judge
row visibility may have been overwritten by the time we need them.

SQL-standard TABLE() is a subset of UNNEST(); they deal with arrays and
other collection types. This feature, however, deals with set-returning
functions. Use a different syntax for this feature to keep open the
possibility of implementing the standard TABLE().
This sets up ECDH key exchange, when compiling against OpenSSL that
supports EC. Then the ECDHE-RSA and ECDHE-ECDSA cipher suites can be
used for SSL connections. The latter one means that EC keys are now
usable.
The reason for EC key exchange is that it's faster than DHE and it
allows to go to higher security levels where RSA will be horribly slow.
There is also new GUC option ssl_ecdh_curve that specifies the curve
name used for ECDH. It defaults to "prime256v1", which is the most
common curve in use in HTTPS.

The query ID is the internal hash identifier of the statement,
and was not available in pg_stat_statements view so far.

By default, OpenSSL (and SSL/TLS in general) lets the client cipher
order take priority. This is OK for browsers where the ciphers were
tuned, but few PostgreSQL client libraries make the cipher order
configurable. So it makes sense to have the cipher order in
postgresql.conf take priority over client defaults.
This patch adds the setting "ssl_prefer_server_ciphers" that can be
turned on so that server cipher order is preferred. Per discussion,
this now defaults to on.

I'm putting these up for review before I start to extract the relevant
subsets for the older branches. It'll be easier to make any suggested
wording improvements at this stage.
This is mostly to fix incorrect migration instructions: since the preceding
minor releases advised reindexing some GIST indexes, it's important that
we back-link to that advice rather than earlier instances.
Also improve some bug descriptions and fix a few typos.
No back-patch yet; these files will get copied into the back branches
later in the release process.

warning.
ECPG is not supposed to allow and output nested comments in C. These comments
are only allowed in the SQL parts and must not be written into the C file.
Also the different handling of different comments is documented.
This patch adds the ability to write TABLE( function1(), function2(), ...)
as a single FROM-clause entry. The result is the concatenation of the
first row from each function, followed by the second row from each
function, etc; with NULLs inserted if any function produces fewer rows than
others. This is believed to be a much more useful behavior than what
Postgres currently does with multiple SRFs in a SELECT list.
This syntax also provides a reasonable way to combine use of column
definition lists with WITH ORDINALITY: put the column definition list
inside TABLE(), where it's clear that it doesn't control the ordinality
column as well.
Also implement SQL-compliant multiple-argument UNNEST(), by turning
UNNEST(a,b,c) into TABLE(unnest(a), unnest(b), unnest(c)).
The SQL standard specifies TABLE() with only a single function, not
multiple functions, and it seems to require an implicit UNNEST() which is
not what this patch does. There may be something wrong with that reading
of the spec, though, because if it's right then the spec's TABLE() is just
a pointless alternative spelling of UNNEST(). After further review of
that, we might choose to adopt a different syntax for what this patch does,
but in any case this functionality seems clearly worthwhile.

Formerly the planner had a hard-wired rule of thumb for guessing the amount
of space consumed by an aggregate function's transition state data. This
estimate is critical to deciding whether it's OK to use hash aggregation,
and in many situations the built-in estimate isn't very good. This patch
adds a column to pg_aggregate wherein a per-aggregate estimate can be
provided, overriding the planner's default, and infrastructure for setting
the column via CREATE AGGREGATE.
It may be that additional smarts will be required in future, perhaps even
a per-aggregate estimation function. But this is already a step forward.
This is extracted from a larger patch to improve the performance of numeric
and int8 aggregates. I (tgl) thought it was worth reviewing and committing
this infrastructure separately. In this commit, all built-in aggregates
are given aggtransspace = 0, so no behavior should change.
