It wasn't all that clear which lock levels, if any, would be held on the
DEFAULT partition during an ATTACH PARTITION operation.
Also, clarify which locks will be taken if the DEFAULT partition or the
table being attached are themselves partitioned tables.
Here I'm only backpatching to v12 as before then we obtained an ACCESS
EXCLUSIVE lock on the partitioned table. It seems much less relevant to
mention which locks are taken on other tables when the partitioned table
itself is locked with an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock.

The error messages using the word "non-negative" are confusing
because it's ambiguous about whether it accepts zero or not.
This commit improves those error messages by replacing it with
less ambiguous word like "greater than zero" or
"greater than or equal to zero".
Also this commit added the note about the word "non-negative" to
the error message style guide, to help writing the new error messages.
When postgres_fdw option fetch_size was set to zero, previously
the error message "fetch_size requires a non-negative integer value"
was reported. This error message was outright buggy. Therefore
back-patch to all supported versions where such buggy error message
could be thrown.

Add pg_resetxlog -u option to set the oldest xid in pg_control.
Previously -x set this value be -2 billion less than the -x value.
However, this causes the server to immediately scan all relation's
relfrozenxid so it can advance pg_control's oldest xid to be inside the
autovacuum_freeze_max_age range, which is inefficient and might disrupt
diagnostic recovery. pg_upgrade will use this option to better create
the new cluster to match the old cluster.

It has been spotted that multiranges lack of ability to decompose them into

provides the implementation of unnest(multirange), which is quite trivial.
unnest(multirange) is defined as a polymorphic procedure.

Backpatch-through: 14, where Result Cache was introduced
When sending queries in pipeline mode, we were careless about leaving
the connection in the right state so that PQgetResult would behave
correctly; trying to read further results after sending a query after
having read a result with an error would sometimes hang. Fix by
ensuring internal libpq state is changed properly. All the state
changes were being done by the callers of pqAppendCmdQueueEntry(); it
would have become too repetitious to have this logic in each of them, so
instead put it all in that function and relieve callers of the
responsibility.
Add a test to verify this case. Without the code fix, this new test
hangs sometimes.
Also, document that PQisBusy() would return false when no queries are
pending result. This is not intuitively obvious, and NULL would be
obtained by calling PQgetResult() at that point, which is confusing.

In passing, fix bogus use of "false" to mean "0", per Ranier Vilela.

Previously the values such as '100$%$#$#', '9,223,372,' were accepted and
treated as valid integers for postgres_fdw options batch_size and fetch_size.
Whereas this is not the case with fdw_startup_cost and fdw_tuple_cost options
for which an error is thrown. This was because endptr was not used
while converting strings to integers using strtol.
This commit changes the logic so that it uses parse_int function
instead of strtol as it serves the purpose by returning false in case
if it is unable to convert the string to integer. Note that
this function also rounds off the values such as '100.456' to 100 and
'100.567' or '100.678' to 101.
While on this, use parse_real for fdw_startup_cost and fdw_tuple_cost options.
Since parse_int and parse_real are being used for reloptions and GUCs,
it is more appropriate to use in postgres_fdw rather than using strtol
and strtod directly.
Back-patch to v14.

Commit 4656e3d66 replaced the "#define CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS"
testing mechanism with a GUC, which has been a great help for
doing cache-clobber testing in more efficient ways; but there
is a gap in the implementation. The only way to do cache-clobber
testing during an initdb run is to use the old method with #define,
because one can't set the GUC from outside. Improve this by
adding a switch to initdb for the purpose.
(Perhaps someday we should let initdb pass through arbitrary
"-c NAME=VALUE" switches. Quoting difficulties dissuaded me
from attempting that right now, though.)

This new libpq function allows the application to send an 'H' message,
which instructs the server to flush its outgoing buffer.
This hasn't been needed so far because the Sync message already requests
a buffer; and I failed to realize that this was needed in pipeline mode
because PQpipelineSync also causes the buffer to be flushed. However,
sometimes it is useful to request a flush without establishing a
synchronization point.
