In commit 33e05f89c5, we have added the option to display WAL usage
statistics in Explain and auto_explain. The display format used two spaces
between each field which is inconsistent with Buffer usage statistics which
is using one space between each field. Change the format to make WAL usage
statistics consistent with Buffer usage statistics.
This commit also changed the usage of "full page writes" to
"full page images" for WAL usage statistics to make it consistent with
other parts of code and docs.

Add a test case to contrib/amcheck that creates coverage of code paths
that are used to verify posting list tuples (tuples created when
deduplication merges together existing tuples to avoid a leaf page
split).
Writing a trailing semicolon in a macro is almost never the right thing,
because you almost always want to write a semicolon after each macro
call instead. (Even if there was some reason to prefer not to, pgindent
would probably make a hash of code formatted that way; so within PG the
rule should basically be "don't do it".) Thus, if we have a semi inside
the macro, the compiler sees "something;;". Much of the time the extra
empty statement is harmless, but it could lead to mysterious syntax
errors at call sites. In perhaps an overabundance of neatnik-ism, let's
run around and get rid of the excess semicolons whereever possible.
The only thing worse than a mysterious syntax error is a mysterious
syntax error that only happens in the back branches; therefore,
backpatch these changes where relevant, which is most of them because
most of these mistakes are old. (The lack of reported problems shows
that this is largely a hypothetical issue, but still, it could bite
us in some future patch.)

An nbtree split point can be thought of as a point between two adjoining
tuples from an imaginary version of the page being split that includes
the incoming/new item (in addition to the items that really are on the
page). These adjoining tuples are called the lastleft and firstright
tuples.
The variables that represent split points contained a field called
firstright, which is an offset number of the first data item from the
original page that goes on the new right page. The corresponding tuple
from origpage was usually the same thing as the actual firstright tuple,
but not always: the firstright tuple is sometimes the new/incoming item
instead. This situation seems unnecessarily confusing.
Make things clearer by renaming the origpage offset returned by
_bt_findsplitloc() to "firstrightoff". We now have a firstright tuple
and a firstrightoff offset number which are comparable to the
newitem/lastleft tuples and the newitemoff/lastleftoff offset numbers
respectively. Also make sure that we are consistent about how we
describe nbtree page split point state.
Push the responsibility for dealing with pg_upgrade'd !heapkeyspace
indexes down to lower level code, relieving _bt_split() from dealing
with it directly. This means that we always have a palloc'd left page
high key on the leaf level, no matter what. This enables simplifying
some of the code (and code comments) within _bt_split().
Finally, restructure the page split code to make it clearer why suffix
truncation (which only takes place during leaf page splits) is
completely different to the first data item truncation that takes place
during internal page splits. Tuples are marked as having fewer
attributes stored in both cases, and the firstright tuple is truncated
in both cases, so it's easy to imagine somebody missing the distinction.
We've had a mixture of the warnings pragma, the -w switch on the shebang

Add a DEBUG1 message indicating that verification of the index structure
is underway. Also reduce the severity level of the existing "tree
level" debug message to DEBUG1. It should never have been made DEBUG2.
Any B-Tree index with more than a couple of levels will generally also
have so many pages that the per-page DEBUG2 messages will become
completely unmanageable.
In passing, add a new "Tip" to the docs that advises users that run into
corruption that the debug messages might provide useful additional
context.
Commit d2d8a229bc introduced Incremental Sort, but it was considered
only in create_ordered_paths() as an alternative to regular Sort. There
are many other places that require sorted input and might benefit from
considering Incremental Sort too.
This patch modifies a number of those places, but not all. The concern
is that just adding Incremental Sort to any place that already adds
Sort may increase the number of paths considered, negatively affecting
planning time, without any benefit. So we've taken a more conservative
approach, based on analysis of which places do affect a set of queries
that did seem practical. This means some less common queries may not
benefit from Incremental Sort yet.

The txid_XXX family of fmgr functions exposes 64 bit transaction IDs to
users as int8. Now that we have an SQL type xid8 for FullTransactionId,
define a new set of functions including pg_current_xact_id() and
pg_current_snapshot() based on that. Keep the old functions around too,
for now.
It's a bit sneaky to use the same C functions for both, but since the
binary representation is identical except for the signedness of the
type, and since older functions are the ones using the wrong signedness,
and since we'll presumably drop the older ones after a reasonable period
of time, it seems reasonable to switch to FullTransactionId internally
and share the code for both.

Until now, only selected bulk operations (e.g. COPY) did this. If a

pg_stat_statements.track_planning. If this option is enabled,
pg_stat_statements tracks the planning statistics of the statements,

spent planning the statement, etc. This feature is useful to check
the statements that it takes a long time to plan. Previously since
pg_stat_statements tracked only the execution statistics, we could
not use that for the purpose.
The planning and execution statistics are stored at the end of
each phase separately. So there are not always one-to-one relationship
between them. For example, if the statement is successfully planned
but fails in the execution phase, only its planning statistics are stored.
This may cause the users to be able to see different pg_stat_statements
results from the previous version. To avoid this,
pg_stat_statements.track_planning needs to be disabled.

Not much to say here --- does what it says on the tin. The "binary"
representation in each case is really just the same as the text format,
though we prefix a version-number byte in case anyone ever feels
motivated to change that. Thus, there's not any expectation of improved
speed or reduced space; the point here is just to allow clients to use
binary format for all columns of a query result or COPY data.
This makes use of the recently added ALTER TYPE support to add binary
I/O functions to an existing data type. As in commit a80818605,
we can piggy-back on there already being a new-for-v13 version of the
ltree extension, so we don't need a new update script file.

Quite a few matching operators such as JSONB's @> used "contsel" and
"contjoinsel" as their selectivity estimators. That was a bad idea,
because (a) contsel is only a stub, yielding a fixed default estimate,
and (b) that default is 0.001, meaning we estimate these operators as
five times more selective than equality, which is surely pretty silly.
There's a good model for improving this in ltree's ltreeparentsel():
for any "var OP constant" query, we can try applying the operator
to all of the column's MCV and histogram values, taking the latter
as being a random sample of the non-MCV values. That code is
actually 100% generic, except for the question of exactly what
default selectivity ought to be plugged in when we don't have stats.
Hence, migrate the guts of ltreeparentsel() into the core code, provide
wrappers "matchingsel" and "matchingjoinsel" with a more-appropriate
default estimate, and use those for the non-geometric operators that
formerly used contsel (mostly JSONB containment operators and tsquery
matching).
Also apply this code to some match-like operators in hstore, ltree, and
pg_trgm, including the former users of ltreeparentsel as well as ones
that improperly used contsel. Since commit 911e70207 just created new
versions of those extensions that we haven't released yet, we can sneak
this change into those new versions instead of having to create an
additional generation of update scripts.

The existing implementation of the ltree ~ lquery match operator is
sufficiently complex and undocumented that it's hard to tell exactly
what it does. But one thing it clearly gets wrong is the combination
of NOT symbols (!) and '*' symbols. A pattern such as '*.!foo.*'
should, by any ordinary understanding of regular expression behavior,
match any ltree that has at least one label that's not "foo". As best
we can tell by experimentation, what it's actually matching is any
ltree in which *no* label is "foo". That's surprising, and not at all
what the documentation says.
Now, that's arguably a useful behavior, so if we rewrite to fix the
bug we should provide some other way to get it. To do so, add the
ability to attach lquery quantifiers to non-'*' items as well as '*'s.
Then the pattern '!foo{,}' expresses "any ltree in which no label is
foo". For backwards compatibility, the default quantifier for non-'*'
items has to be "{1}", although the default for '*' items is '{,}'.
I wouldn't have done it like that in a green field, but it's not
totally horrible.
Armed with that, rewrite checkCond() from scratch. Treating '*' and
non-'*' items alike makes it simpler, not more complicated, so that
the function actually gets a lot shorter than it was.

Ensure that the type name is mentioned in all cases (bare "syntax error"
isn't that helpful). Avoid using the term "level", since that's not
used in the documentation. Phrase error position reports as "at
character N" not "in position N"; the latter seems ambiguous, and it's
certainly not how we say it elsewhere. For the same reason, make the
character position values be 1-based not 0-based. Provide a position
in more cases. (I continued to leave that out of messages complaining
about end-of-input, where it seemed pointless, as well as messages
complaining about overall input complexity, where fingering any one part
of the input would be arbitrary.)

PostgreSQL provides set of template index access methods, where opclasses have
much freedom in the semantics of indexing. These index AMs are GiST, GIN,
SP-GiST and BRIN. There opclasses define representation of keys, operations on
them and supported search strategies. So, it's natural that opclasses may be
faced some tradeoffs, which require user-side decision. This commit implements
opclass parameters allowing users to set some values, which tell opclass how to
index the particular dataset.
This commit doesn't introduce new storage in system catalog. Instead it uses
pg_attribute.attoptions, which is used for table column storage options but
unused for index attributes.
In order to evade changing signature of each opclass support function, we
implement unified way to pass options to opclass support functions. Options
are set to fn_expr as the constant bytea expression. It's possible due to the
fact that opclass support functions are executed outside of expressions, so
fn_expr is unused for them.
This commit comes with some examples of opclass options usage. We parametrize
signature length in GiST. That applies to multiple opclasses: tsvector_ops,
gist__intbig_ops, gist_ltree_ops, gist__ltree_ops, gist_trgm_ops and
gist_hstore_ops. Also we parametrize maximum number of integer ranges for
gist__int_ops. However, the main future usage of this feature is expected
to be json, where users would be able to specify which way to index particular
json parts.

Previously, this code just smashed all types of DefElem values to
strings, cavalierly reasoning that nobody would care. But in point of
fact, most of the defGetFoo functions do distinguish among different
input syntaxes; for instance defGetBoolean will accept 1 as an integer
but not "1" as a string. This led to CREATE/ALTER TEXT SEARCH
DICTIONARY accepting 0 and 1 as values for boolean dictionary
properties, only to have the dictionary fail at runtime.
We can upgrade this behavior by teaching serialize_deflist that it
does not need to quote T_Integer or T_Float nodes' values on output,
and then teaching deserialize_deflist to restore unquoted integer or
float values as the appropriate node type. This should not break
anything using pg_ts_dict.dictinitoption, since that field is just
defined as being something valid to include in CREATE TEXT SEARCH
DICTIONARY.
deserialize_deflist is also used to parse the options arguments
for the ts_headline family of functions, but so far as I can see
this won't cause any problems there either: the only consumer of
that output is prsd_headline which always uses defGetString.
(Really that's a bad idea, but I won't risk changing it here.)
This is surely a bug fix, but given the lack of field complaints

The data types that contrib/pageinspect's bt_metap() function were
declared to return as OUT arguments were wrong in some cases. For
example, the oldest_xact column (a TransactionId/xid field) was declared
integer/int4 within the pageinspect extension's sql file. This led to
errors when an oldest_xact value that exceeded 2^31-1 was encountered.
Some of the other columns were defined incorrectly ever since
pageinspect was first introduced, though they were far less likely to
produce problems in practice.
Fix these issues by changing the declaration of bt_metap() to
consistently use data types that can reliably represent all possible
values. This fixes things on HEAD only. No backpatch, since it doesn't
seem like there is a safe way to fix the issue without including a new
version of the pageinspect extension (HEAD/Postgres 13 already
introduced a new version of the extension). Besides, the oldest_xact
issue has been around since the release of Postgres 11, and we haven't
heard any complaints about it before now.
Also, throw an error when we detect a bt_metap() declaration that must
be from an old version of the pageinspect extension by examining the
number of attributes from the tuple descriptor for the return tuples.
It seems better to throw an error in a reliable and obvious way
following a Postgres upgrade, rather than letting bt_metap() fail
unpredictably. The problem is fundamentally with the CREATE FUNCTION
declared data types themselves, so I see no sensible alternative.

Bug: #16285
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16285-df8fc1000ab3d5fc@postgresql.org
plperl's default handling of bool arguments or results is not terribly
satisfactory, since Perl doesn't consider the string 'f' to be false.
Ideally we'd just fix that, but the backwards-compatibility hazard
would be substantial. Instead, build a TRANSFORM module that can
be optionally applied to provide saner semantics.
Perhaps usefully, this is also about the minimum possible skeletal
example of a plperl transform module; so it might be a better starting
point for user-written transform modules than hstore_plperl or
jsonb_plperl.

Our usual practice for "poor man's enum" catalog columns is to define
macros for the possible values and use those, not literal constants,
in C code. But for some reason lost in the mists of time, this was
never done for typalign/attalign or typstorage/attstorage. It's never
too late to make it better though, so let's do that.
The reason I got interested in this right now is the need to duplicate
some uses of the TYPSTORAGE constants in an upcoming ALTER TYPE patch.
But in general, this sort of change aids greppability and readability,
so it's a good idea even without any specific motivation.
I may have missed a few places that could be converted, and it's even
more likely that pending patches will re-introduce some hard-coded
references. But that's not fatal --- there's no expectation that
we'd actually change any of these values. We can clean up stragglers
over time.

The backend was using strings to represent command tags and doing string
comparisons in multiple places, but that's slow and unhelpful. Create a
new command list with a supporting structure to use instead; this is
stored in a tag-list-file that can be tailored to specific purposes with
a caller-definable C macro, similar to what we do for WAL resource
managers. The first first such uses are a new CommandTag enum and a
CommandTagBehavior struct.
Replace numerous occurrences of char *completionTag with a
QueryCompletion struct so that the code no longer stores information
about completed queries in a cstring. Only at the last moment, in
EndCommand(), does this get converted to a string.
EventTriggerCacheItem no longer holds an array of palloc’d tag strings
in sorted order, but rather just a Bitmapset over the CommandTags.

Add a new bt_metap() column to display the metapage's allequalimage
field. Also add three new columns to contrib/pageinspect's
bt_page_items() function:
* Add a boolean column ("dead") that displays the LP_DEAD bit value for
each non-pivot tuple.
* Add a TID column ("htid") that displays a single heap TID value for
each tuple. This is the TID that is returned by BTreeTupleGetHeapTID(),
so comparable values are shown for pivot tuples, plain non-pivot tuples,
and posting list tuples.
* Add a TID array column ("tids") that displays TIDs from each tuple's
posting list, if any. This works just like the "tids" column from
pageinspect's gin_leafpage_items() function.
No version bump for the pageinspect extension, since there hasn't been a
stable Postgres release since the last version bump (the last bump was
part of commit 58b4cb30).
