The previous ordering of these steps satisfied the nominal requirement
that set_rel_pathlist_hook could editorialize on the whole set of Paths
constructed for a base relation. In practice, though, trying to change
the set of partial paths was impossible. Adding one didn't work because
(a) it was too late to be included in Gather paths made by the core code,
and (b) calling add_partial_path after generate_gather_paths is unsafe,
because it might try to delete a path it thinks is dominated, but that
is already embedded in some Gather path(s). Nor could the hook safely
remove partial paths, for the same reason that they might already be
embedded in Gathers.
Better to call extensions first, let them add partial paths as desired,
and then gather. In v11 and up, we already doubled down on that ordering
by postponing gathering even further for single-relation queries; so even
if the hook wished to editorialize on Gather path construction, it could
not.

The comment marker "#" is copied to the output, so it's only
appropriate for comments that make sense in the shell output. For
comments about the Autoconf language, "dnl" should be used.
This has the advantage that the comparator expression, the table's
slot, etc do not have to be rebuilt. Additionally the simplehash.h
hashtable within the tuple hashtable now keeps its previous size and
doesn't need to be reallocated. That both reduces allocator overhead,
and improves performance in cases where the input estimation was off
by a significant factor.
To avoid an API/ABI break, the new parameter is exposed via the new
BuildTupleHashTableExt(), and BuildTupleHashTable() now is a wrapper
around the former, that continues to allocate the table itself in the

Using this fixes performance issues discovered in the two bugs

In bf6c614a2f I added a expr context to evaluate the grouping
expression. Unfortunately the code I added initialized them while in
the calling context, rather the table context. Additionally, I used
CreateExprContext() rather than CreateStandaloneExprContext(), which
creates the econtext in the estate's query context.
Fix that by using CreateStandaloneExprContext when in the table's
tablecxt. As we rely on the memory being freed by a memory context
reset that means that the econtext's shutdown callbacks aren't being
called, but that seems ok as the expressions are tightly controlled
due to ExecBuildGroupingEqual().

Up to now postgres_fdw has been using create_foreignscan_path() to
generate not only base-relation paths, but also paths for foreign joins
and foreign upperrels. This is wrong, because create_foreignscan_path()
calls get_baserel_parampathinfo() which will only do the right thing for
baserels. It accidentally fails to fail for unparameterized paths, which
are the only ones postgres_fdw (thought it) was handling, but we really
need different APIs for the baserel and join cases.
In HEAD, the best thing to do seems to be to split up the baserel,
joinrel, and upperrel cases into three functions so that they can
have different APIs. I haven't actually given create_foreign_join_path
a different API in this commit: we should spend a bit of time thinking
about just what we want to do there, since perhaps FDWs would want to
do something different from the build-up-a-join-pairwise approach that
get_joinrel_parampathinfo expects. In the meantime, since postgres_fdw
isn't prepared to generate parameterized joins anyway, just give it a
defense against trying to plan joins with lateral refs.
In addition (and this is what triggered this whole mess) fix bug #15613
from Srinivasan S A, by teaching file_fdw and postgres_fdw that plain
baserel foreign paths still have outer refs if the relation has
lateral_relids. Add some assertions in relnode.c to catch future
occurrences of the same error --- in particular, to catch other FDWs
doing that, but also as backstop against core-code mistakes like the
one fixed by commit bdd9a99aa.
Bug #15613 also needs to be fixed in the back branches, but the
appropriate fix will look quite a bit different there, since we don't
want to assume that existing FDWs get the word right away.

The previous tacit assumption that index_form_tuple() hides differences
in the TOAST state of its input datums was wrong. Normalize input
varlena datums by decompressing compressed values, and forming a new
index tuple for fingerprinting using uncompressed inputs. The final
normalized representation may actually be compressed once again within
index_form_tuple(), though that shouldn't matter. When the original
tuple is found to have no datums that are compressed inline, fingerprint
the original tuple directly.
Normalization avoids false positive reports of corruption in certain
cases. For example, the executor can apply toasting with some inline
compression to an entire heap tuple because its input has a single
external TOAST pointer. Varlena datums for other attributes that are
not particularly good candidates for inline compression can be
compressed in the heap tuple in passing, without the representation of
the same values in index tuples ever receiving concomitant inline
compression.
Add a test case to recreate the issue in a simpler though less realistic
way: by exploiting differences in pg_attribute.attstorage between heap
and index relations.
This bug was discovered by me during testing of an upcoming set of nbtree
enhancements. It was also independently reported by Andreas Kunert, as
bug #15597. His test case was rather more realistic than the one I

Backpatch: 11-, where heapallindexed verification was introduced.
create_lateral_join_info() computes a bunch of information about lateral
references between base relations, and then attempts to propagate those
markings to appendrel children of the original base relations. But the
original coding neglected the possibility of indirect descendants
(grandchildren etc). During v11 development we noticed that this was
wrong for partitioned-table cases, but failed to realize that it was just
as wrong for any appendrel. While the case can't arise for appendrels
derived from traditional table inheritance (because we make a flat
appendrel for that), nested appendrels can arise from nested UNION ALL
subqueries. Failure to mark the lower-level relations as having lateral
references leads to confusion in add_paths_to_append_rel about whether
unparameterized paths can be built. It's not very clear whether that
leads to any user-visible misbehavior; the lack of field reports suggests
that it may cause nothing worse than minor cost misestimation. Still,
it's a bug, and it leads to failures of Asserts that I intend to add
later.
To fix, we need to propagate information from all appendrel parents,
not just those that are RELOPT_BASERELs. We can still do it in one
pass, if we rely on the append_rel_list to be ordered with ancestor
relationships before descendant ones; add assertions checking that.
While fixing this, we can make a small performance improvement by
traversing the append_rel_list just once instead of separately for
each appendrel parent relation.
Noted while investigating bug #15613, though this patch does not fix
that (which is why I'm not committing the related Asserts yet).

Previously heap_getattr() returned NULL for attributes with a fast
default value (c.f. 16828d5c02), as it had no handling whatsoever
for that case.
A previous fix, 7636e5c60f, attempted to fix issues caused by this
oversight, but just expanding OLD tuples for triggers doesn't actually
solve the underlying issue.
One known consequence of this bug is that the check for HOT updates
can return the wrong result, when a previously fast-default'ed column
is set to NULL. Which in turn means that an index over a column with
fast default'ed columns might be corrupt if the underlying column(s)
allow NULLs.
Fix by handling fast default columns in heap_getattr(), remove now
superfluous expansion in GetTupleForTrigger().

Commit 62215de29 turns out to have been not quite on-the-mark.
When we are forced to postpone dumping of a materialized view into
the dump's post-data section (because it depends on a unique index
that isn't created till that section), we may also have to postpone
dumping other matviews that depend on said matview. The previous fix
didn't reliably work for such cases: it'd break the dependency loops
properly, producing a workable object ordering, but it didn't
necessarily mark all the matviews as "postponed_def". This led to
harmless bleating about "archive items not in correct section order",
as reported by Tom Cassidy in bug #15602. Less harmlessly,
selective-restore options such as --section might misbehave due to
the matview dump objects not being properly labeled.
The right way to fix it is to consider that each pre-data dependency
we break amounts to moving the no-longer-dependent object into
post-data, and hence we should mark that object if it's a matview.
Back-patch to all supported versions, since the issue's been there
since matviews were introduced.

Previously, all heaps had FSMs. For very small tables, this means that the
FSM took up more space than the heap did. This is wasteful, so now we
refrain from creating the FSM for heaps with 4 pages or fewer. If the last
known target block has insufficient space, we still try to insert into some
other page before giving up and extending the relation, since doing
otherwise leads to table bloat. Testing showed that trying every page
penalized performance slightly, so we compromise and try every other page.
This way, we visit at most two pages. Any pages with wasted free space
become visible at next relation extension, so we still control table bloat.
As a bonus, directly attempting one or two pages can even be faster than
consulting the FSM would have been.
Once the FSM is created for a heap we don't remove it even if somebody
deletes all the rows from the corresponding relation. We don't think it is
a useful optimization as it is quite likely that relation will again grow
to the same size.

Previously we initialized pages when bulk extending in
RelationAddExtraBlocks(). That has a major disadvantage: It ties
RelationAddExtraBlocks() to heap, as other types of storage are likely
to need different amounts of special space, have different amount of
free space (previously determined by PageGetHeapFreeSpace()).
That we're relying on initializing pages, but not WAL logging the
initialization, also means the risk for getting
"WARNING: relation \"%s\" page %u is uninitialized --- fixing"
style warnings in vacuums after crashes/immediate shutdowns, is
considerably higher. The warning sounds much more serious than what
they are.
Fix those two issues together by not initializing pages in
RelationAddExtraPages() (but continue to do so in
RelationGetBufferForTuple(), which is linked much more closely to
heap), and accepting uninitialized pages as normal in
vacuumlazy.c. When vacuumlazy encounters an empty page it now adds it
to the FSM, but does nothing else. We chose to not issue a debug
message, much less a warning in that case - it seems rarely useful,
and quite likely to scare people unnecessarily.
For now empty pages aren't added to the VM, because standbys would not
re-discover such pages after a promotion. In contrast to other sources
for empty pages, there's no corresponding WAL records triggering FSM
updates during replay.
Previously when extending the relation, there was a moment between
extending the relation, and acquiring an exclusive lock on the new
page, in which another backend could lock the page. To avoid new
content being put on that new page, vacuumlazy needed to acquire the
extension lock for a brief moment when encountering a new page. A
second corner case, only working somewhat by accident, was that
RelationGetBufferForTuple() sometimes checks the last page in a
relation for free space, without consulting the FSM; that only worked
because PageGetHeapFreeSpace() interprets the zero page header in a
new page as no free space. The lack of handling this properly
required reverting the previous attempt in 684200543b.
This issue can be solved by using RBM_ZERO_AND_LOCK when extending the
relation, thereby avoiding this window. There's some added complexity
when RelationGetBufferForTuple() is called with another buffer (for
updates), to avoid deadlocks, but that's rarely hit at runtime.
