Joe Conway 6198420ad8 Use has_privs_for_roles for predefined role checks
Generally if a role is granted membership to another role with NOINHERIT
they must use SET ROLE to access the privileges of that role, however
with predefined roles the membership and privilege is conflated. Fix that
by replacing is_member_of_role with has_privs_for_role for predefined
roles. Patch does not remove is_member_of_role from acl.h, but it does
add a warning not to use that function for privilege checking. Not
backpatched based on hackers list discussion.

Heikki Linnakangas fa42c2ecb0 docs: Remove notes about incompatibilies with very old versions.
These are old enough that they'll cause more confusion and distraction
to new readers, than they could help anyone upgrade from very old
servers.

Amit Kapila 7db0cde6b5 Revert "Avoid the creation of the free space map for small heap relations".
This feature was using a process local map to track the first few blocks
in the relation.  The map was reset each time we get the block with enough
freespace.  It was discussed that it would be better to track this map on
a per-relation basis in relcache and then invalidate the same whenever
vacuum frees up some space in the page or when FSM is created.  The new
design would be better both in terms of API design and performance.

Amit Kapila 29d108cdec Doc: Update the documentation for FSM behavior for small tables.
In commit b0eaa4c51b, we have avoided the creation of FSM for small tables.
So the functions that use FSM to compute the free space can return zero for
such tables.  This was previously also possible for the cases where the
vacuum has not been triggered to update FSM.

This commit updates the comments in code and documentation to reflect this
behavior.

Peter Eisentraut c29c578908 Don't use SGML empty tags
For DocBook XML compatibility, don't use SGML empty tags (</>) anymore,
replace by the full tag name.  Add a warning option to catch future
occurrences.

Simon Riggs 25fff40798 Default monitoring roles
Three nologin roles with non-overlapping privs are created by default
* pg_read_all_settings - read all GUCs.
* pg_read_all_stats - pg_stat_*, pg_database_size(), pg_tablespace_size()
* pg_stat_scan_tables - may lock/scan tables

Top level role - pg_monitor includes all of the above by default, plus others

Peter Eisentraut 3a9d430af5 doc: Fix DocBook XML validity
The main problem is that DocBook SGML allows indexterm elements just
about everywhere, but DocBook XML is stricter.  For example, this common
pattern

    <varlistentry>
     <indexterm>...</indexterm>
     <term>...</term>
     ...
    </varlistentry>

needs to be changed to something like

    <varlistentry>
     <term>...<indexterm>...</indexterm></term>
     ...
    </varlistentry>

See also bb4eefe7bf.

There is currently nothing in the build system that enforces that things
stay valid, because that requires additional tools and will receive
separate consideration.

Peter Eisentraut 66424a2848 Fix indentation of verbatim block elements
Block elements with verbatim formatting (literallayout, programlisting,
screen, synopsis) should be aligned at column 0 independent of the surrounding
SGML, because whitespace is significant, and indenting them creates erratic
whitespace in the output.  The CSS stylesheets already take care of indenting
the output.

Assorted markup improvements to go along with it.

Heikki Linnakangas 6736da5484 Make the blkno arguments bigints instead of int4s. A signed int4 is not
large enough for block numbers higher than 2^31. The old pre-FSM-rewrite
pg_freespacemap implementation got this right. While we're at it, remove
some unnecessary #includes.

Heikki Linnakangas 15c121b3ed Rewrite the FSM. Instead of relying on a fixed-size shared memory segment, the
free space information is stored in a dedicated FSM relation fork, with each
relation (except for hash indexes; they don't use FSM).

This eliminates the max_fsm_relations and max_fsm_pages GUC options; remove any
trace of them from the backend, initdb, and documentation.

Rewrite contrib/pg_freespacemap to match the new FSM implementation. Also
introduce a new variant of the get_raw_page(regclass, int4, int4) function in
contrib/pageinspect that let's you to return pages from any relation fork, and
a new fsm_page_contents() function to inspect the new FSM pages.

ever-changing numeric IDs.  The new contrib docs were the biggest
offender, but some old stuff had the problem too.  Also, rename a couple
of new contrib sgml files for consistency's sake.
