Convert box_in, circle_in, line_in, lseg_in, path_in, point_in,
and poly_in to the new style.
line_in still throws hard errors for overflows/underflows that can occur
when the input is specified as two points rather than in the canonical
"Ax + By + C = 0" style. I'm not too concerned about that: it won't be
reached in normal dump/restore cases, and it's fairly debatable that
such conversion should ever have been made part of a type input function
in the first place. But in any case, I don't want to extend the soft
error conventions into float.h without more discussion than this patch
has had.

Commits f92944137 et al. made IsInTransactionBlock() set the
XACT_FLAGS_NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT flag before returning "false",
on the grounds that that kept its API promises equivalent to those of
PreventInTransactionBlock(). This turns out to be a bad idea though,
because it allows an ANALYZE in a pipelined series of commands to
cause an immediate commit, which is unexpected.
Furthermore, if we return "false" then we have another issue,
which is that ANALYZE will decide it's allowed to do internal
commit-and-start-transaction sequences, thus possibly unexpectedly
committing the effects of previous commands in the pipeline.
To fix the latter situation, invent another transaction state flag
XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING, which explicitly records the fact that we
have executed some extended-protocol command and not yet seen a
commit for it. Then, require that flag to not be set before allowing
InTransactionBlock() to return "false".
Having done that, we can remove its setting of NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT
without fear of causing problems. This means that the API guarantees
of IsInTransactionBlock now diverge from PreventInTransactionBlock,
which is mildly annoying, but it seems OK given the very limited usage
of IsInTransactionBlock. (In any case, a caller preferring the old
behavior could always set NEEDIMMEDIATECOMMIT for itself.)
For consistency also require XACT_FLAGS_PIPELINING to not be set
in PreventInTransactionBlock. This too is meant to prevent commands
such as CREATE DATABASE from silently committing previous commands
in a pipeline.

jsonb_get_element() was incautious enough to use VARDATA() and
VARSIZE() directly on an arbitrary text Datum. That of course
fails if the Datum is short-header, compressed, or out-of-line.
The typical result would be failing to match any element of a
jsonb object, though matching the wrong one seems possible as well.
setPathObject() was slightly brighter, in that it used VARDATA_ANY
and VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR, but that only kept it out of trouble for
short-header Datums. push_path() had the same issue. This could
result in faulty subscripted insertions, though keys long enough to
cause a problem are likely rare in the wild.
Having seen these, I looked around for unsafe usages in the rest
of the adt/json* files. There are a couple of places where it's not
immediately obvious that the Datum can't be compressed or out-of-line,
so I added pg_detoast_datum_packed() to cope if it is. Also, remove
some other usages of VARDATA/VARSIZE on Datums we just extracted from
a text array. Those aren't actively broken, but they will become so
if we ever start allowing short-header array elements, which does not
seem like a terribly unreasonable thing to do. In any case they are
not great coding examples, and they could also do with comments
pointing out that we're assuming we don't need pg_detoast_datum_packed.

This is straightforward as far as it goes. However, it does not
attempt to trap errors occurring during the execution of domain
CHECK constraints. Since those are general user-defined
expressions, the only way to do that would involve starting up a
subtransaction for each check. Of course the entire point of
the soft-errors feature is to not need subtransactions, so that
would be self-defeating. For now, we'll rely on the assumption
that domain checks are written to avoid throwing errors.

In the case of jsonb_in, we are only capturing errors reported

Formerly, semantic action functions for the JSON parser returned void,
so that there was no way for them to affect the parser's behavior.
That means in particular that they can't force an error exit except by
longjmp'ing. That won't do in the context of our project to make input
functions return errors softly. Hence, change them to return the same
JsonParseErrorType enum value as the parser itself uses. If an action
function returns anything besides JSON_SUCCESS, the parse is abandoned
and that error code is returned.
Action functions can thus easily return the same error conditions that
the parser already knows about. As an escape hatch for expansion, also
invent a code JSON_SEM_ACTION_FAILED that the core parser does not know
the exact meaning of. When returning this code, an action function
must use some out-of-band mechanism for reporting the error details.
This commit simply makes the API change and causes all the existing
action functions to return JSON_SUCCESS, so that there is no actual
change in behavior here. This is long enough and boring enough that
it seemed best to commit it separately from the changes that make
real use of the new mechanism.
In passing, remove a duplicate assignment of
transform_string_values_scalar.

We chose a specific wording of the not-implemented errors for
pseudotype I/O functions and other cases where there's little
value in implementing input and/or output. gtsvectorin never
got that memo though, nor did most of contrib. Make these all
fall in line, mostly because I'm a neatnik but also to remove
unnecessary translatable strings.
gbtreekey_in needs a bit of extra love since it supports
multiple SQL types. Sadly, gbtreekey_out doesn't have the
ability to do that, but I think it's unreachable anyway.
Noted while surveying datatype input functions to see what we

Apparently anymultirange_in was written before we converted all

get fixed before committing. Sloppy merging probably explains its
unintuitive ordering, too, so rearrange.
Noted while surveying datatype input functions to see what we

Pay down some ancient technical debt (dating to commit 022fd9966):
fix a couple of places in datetime parsing that were throwing
ereport's immediately instead of returning a DTERR code that could be
interpreted by DateTimeParseError. The reason for that was that there
was no mechanism for passing any auxiliary data (such as a zone name)
to DateTimeParseError, and these errors seemed to really need it.
Up to now it didn't matter that much just where the error got thrown,
but now we'd like to have a hard policy that datetime parse errors
get thrown from just the one place.
Hence, invent a "DateTimeErrorExtra" struct that can be used to
carry any extra values needed for specific DTERR codes. Perhaps
in the future somebody will be motivated to use this to improve
the specificity of other DateTimeParseError messages, but for now
just deal with the timezone-error cases.
This is on the way to making the datetime input functions report
parse errors softly; but it's really an independent change, so
commit separately.

Postgres' standard mechanism for reporting errors (ereport() or elog())
is used for all sorts of error conditions. This means that throwing
an exception via ereport(ERROR) requires an expensive transaction or
subtransaction abort and cleanup, since the exception catcher dare not
make many assumptions about what has gone wrong. There are situations
where we would rather have a lighter-weight mechanism for dealing
with errors that are known to be safe to recover from without a full
transaction cleanup. This commit creates infrastructure to let us
adapt existing error-reporting code for that purpose. See the
included documentation changes for details. Follow-on commits will
provide test code and usage examples.
The near-term plan is to convert most if not all datatype input
functions to report invalid input "softly". This will enable
implementing some SQL/JSON features cleanly and without the cost
of subtransactions, and it will also allow creating COPY options
to deal with bad input without cancelling the whole COPY.

After restart, we don't perform streaming of an in-progress transaction if
it was previously decoded and confirmed by the client. To achieve that we
were comparing the END location of the WAL record being decoded with the
WAL location we have already decoded and confirmed by the client. While
decoding the commit record, to decide whether to process and send the
complete transaction, we compare its START location with the WAL location
we have already decoded and confirmed by the client. Now, if we need to
queue some change in the transaction while decoding the commit record
(e.g. snapshot), it is possible that we decide to stream the transaction
but later commit processing decides to skip it. In such a case, we would
needlessly send the changes and later when we decide to skip it, we will
send stream abort.
We also sometimes decide to stream the changes when we actually just need
to process them locally like a change for invalidations. This will lead us
to send empty streams. To avoid this, while queuing each change for
decoding, we remember whether the transaction has any change that actually
needs to be sent downstream and use that information later to decide
whether to stream the transaction or not.
Note, we can't avoid all cases where we have to send empty streams like
the case where the plugin later decides that the change is not
publishable. However, we will no longer need to send stream_abort when we
skip sending a particular transaction.
