Previously, you could do \set variable operand1 operator operand2, but
nothing more complicated. Now, you can \set variable expression, which
makes it much simpler to do multi-step calculations here. This also
adds support for the modulo operator (%), with the same semantics as in
C.

The meta data of PGLZ symbolized by PGLZ_Header is removed, to make
the compression and decompression code independent on the backend-only
varlena facility. PGLZ_Header is being used to store some meta data
related to the data being compressed like the raw length of the uncompressed
record or some varlena-related data, making it unpluggable once PGLZ is
stored in src/common as it contains some backend-only code paths with
the management of varlena structures. The APIs of PGLZ are reworked
at the same time to do only compression and decompression of buffers
without the meta-data layer, simplifying its use for a more general usage.
On-disk format is preserved as well, so there is no incompatibility with
previous major versions of PostgreSQL for TOAST entries.
Exposing compression and decompression APIs of pglz makes possible its
use by extensions and contrib modules. Especially this commit is required
for upcoming WAL compression feature so that the WAL reader facility can
decompress the WAL data by using pglz_decompress.

Backpatch to 9.3 where src/common was introduce, because a bugfix that
needs to be backpatched, requires the function. Earlier branches will
have to duplicate the code.
Windows versions later than Windows Server 2003 map "localhost" to ::1.
Account for that in the generated pg_hba.conf, fixing another oversight
in commit f6dc6dd5ba. Back-patch to 9.0,
like that commit.

This reverts commit 60838df922.
That change needs a bit more thought to be workable. In view of
the potentially machine-dependent stuff that went in today,
we need all of the buildfarm to be testing those other changes.
Exposing compression and decompression APIs of pglz makes possible its
use by extensions and contrib modules. pglz_decompress contained a call
to elog to emit an error message in case of corrupted data. This function
is changed to return a status code to let its callers return an error instead.
This commit is required for upcoming WAL compression feature so that
the WAL reader facility can decompress the WAL data by using pglz_decompress.

In support of this, have the MSVC build follow GNU make in preferring
GNUmakefile over Makefile when a directory contains both.

This refactoring is in preparation for adding support for other SSL
implementations, with no user-visible effects. There are now two #defines,
USE_OPENSSL which is defined when building with OpenSSL, and USE_SSL which
is defined when building with any SSL implementation. Currently, OpenSSL is
the only implementation so the two #defines go together, but USE_SSL is
supposed to be used for implementation-independent code.
The libpq SSL code is changed to use a custom BIO, which does all the raw
I/O, like we've been doing in the backend for a long time. That makes it
possible to use MSG_NOSIGNAL to block SIGPIPE when using SSL, which avoids
a couple of syscall for each send(). Probably doesn't make much performance
difference in practice - the SSL encryption is expensive enough to mask the
effect - but it was a natural result of this refactoring.

ws2_32 is the new version of the library that should be used, as
it contains the require functionality from wsock32 as well as some
more (which is why some binaries were already using ws2_32).

Unlike "make" itself, the MSVC build process recognized a continuation
even with whitespace after the backslash. (Due to a typo, some code
sites accepted the letter "s" instead of whitespace). Also, it would
consume any number of newlines following a single backslash. This is
mere cleanup; those behaviors were unlikely to cause bugs.
Achieve this by consistently using four-argument Solution::AddProject()
calls. Remove ad hoc Makefile parsing made redundant by doing that.

This function is pervasive on free software operating systems; import
NetBSD's implementation. Back-patch to 8.4, like the commit that will
harness it.
It's easy to forget using SYSTEMQUOTEs when constructing command strings
for system() or popen(). Even if we fix all the places missing it now, it is
bound to be forgotten again in the future. Introduce wrapper functions that
do the the extra quoting for you, and get rid of SYSTEMQUOTEs in all the
callers.
We previosly used SYSTEMQUOTEs in all the hard-coded command strings, and
this doesn't change the behavior of those. But user-supplied commands, like
archive_command, restore_command, COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM calls, as well as
pgbench's \shell, will now gain an extra pair of quotes. That is desirable,
but if you have existing scripts or config files that include an extra
pair of quotes, those might need to be adjusted.

Previously, lookups of non-existent user names could return "Success";
it will now return "User does not exist" by resetting errno. This also
centralizes the user name lookup code in libpgport.
Report and analysis by Nicolas Marchildon; patch by me
asprintf(), aside from not being particularly portable, has a fundamentally
badly-designed API; the psprintf() function that was added in passing in
the previous patch has a much better API choice. Moreover, the NetBSD
implementation that was borrowed for the previous patch doesn't work with
non-C99-compliant vsnprintf, which is something we still have to cope with
on some platforms; and it depends on va_copy which isn't all that portable
either. Get rid of that code in favor of an implementation similar to what
we've used for many years in stringinfo.c. Also, move it into libpgcommon
since it's not really libpgport material.
I think this patch will be enough to turn the buildfarm green again, but
there's still cosmetic work left to do, namely get rid of pg_asprintf()
in favor of using psprintf(). That will come in a followon patch.
Continuing 63f32f3416, libpgcommon should
depend on libpgport, but not vice versa. But wait_result_to_str() in
wait_error.c depends on pstrdup() in libpgcommon. So move exec.c and
wait_error.c from libpgport to libpgcommon. Also switch the link order
in the place that's actually used by the failing ecpg builds.
The function declarations have been left in port.h for now. That should
perhaps be separated sometime.
New infrastructure is added which creates a set number of workers
(threads on Windows, forked processes on Unix). Jobs are then
handed out to these workers by the master process as needed.
pg_restore is adjusted to use this new infrastructure in place of the
old setup which created a new worker for each step on the fly. Parallel
dumps acquire a snapshot clone in order to stay consistent, if
available.
The parallel option is selected by the -j / --jobs command line
parameter of pg_dump.

I had thought we weren't using this version of pqsignal() at all on
Windows, but that's wrong --- initdb is using it (and coping with the
POSIX-ish semantics of bare signal() :-(). So allow the file to be
built in WIN32+FRONTEND case, and add it to the MSVC build logic.
The previous commit didn't work on MSVC editions earlier than
Visual Studio 2011, apparently. This works by copying files into the
contrib directory, and making provision to clean them up, which should
work on all editions.
This enables non-backend code, such as pg_xlogdump, to use it easily.
The previous location, in src/backend/catalog/catalog.c, made that
essentially impossible because that file depends on many backend-only
facilities; so this needs to live separately.
libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the
various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate
implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's
intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better
to keep them separate.
The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc
and friends, which many frontend programs were already using.
At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions
for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can
also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in
the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of
MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of
performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres
so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the
previous one.
This lets us clean up some places that were already with
localized hacks.
Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by
Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of
that. libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.
This makes the naming inside plpgsql consistent and distinguishes the
file from the backend's gram.y file. It will also allow easier
refactoring of the bison make rules later on.
This includes fixing the MSVC copy of ecpg/preproc's version info, which
seems to have been overlooked repeatedly. Can't we fix that so there are
not two copies??
