Commit cca97ce6a6 allowed dbname in pg_basebackup connstring and in this
commit we allow it to be written in postgresql.auto.conf when -R option is
used. The database name in the connection string will be used by the
logical replication slot synchronization on standby.
The dbname will be recorded only if specified explicitly in the connection
string or environment variable.
Masahiko Sawada hasn't reviewed the code in detail but endorsed the idea.

Make sure that function declarations use names that exactly match the
corresponding names from function definitions in optimizer, parser,
utility, libpq, and "commands" code, as well as in remaining library
code. Do the same for all code related to frontend programs (with the
exception of pg_dump/pg_dumpall related code).
Like other recent commits that cleaned up function parameter names, this
commit was written with help from clang-tidy. Later commits will handle
ecpg and pg_dump/pg_dumpall.

Prior to this patch, when running pg_receivewal, the streaming start
point would be the current location of the archives if anything is
found in the local directory where WAL segments are written, and
pg_receivewal would fall back to the current WAL flush location if there
are no archives, as of the result of an IDENTIFY_SYSTEM command.
If for some reason the WAL files from pg_receivewal were moved, it is
better to try a restart where we left at, which is the replication
slot's restart_lsn instead of skipping right to the current flush
location, to avoid holes in the WAL backed up. This commit changes
pg_receivewal to use the following sequence of methods to determine the
starting streaming LSN:
- Scan the local archives.
- Use the slot's restart_lsn, if supported by the backend and if a slot
is defined.
- Fallback to the current flush LSN as reported by IDENTIFY_SYSTEM.
To keep compatibility with older server versions, we only attempt to use
READ_REPLICATION_SLOT if the backend version is at least 15, and
fallback to the older behavior of streaming from the current flush
LSN if the command is not supported.
Some TAP tests are added to cover this feature.

Previously, BASE_BACKUP used an entirely hard-coded syntax, but that's
hard to extend. Instead, adopt the same kind of syntax we've used for
SQL commands such as VACUUM, ANALYZE, COPY, and EXPLAIN, where it's
not necessary for all of the option names to be parser keywords.
In the new syntax, most of the options now take an optional Boolean
argument. To match our practice in other in places, the options which
the old syntax called NOWAIT and NOVERIFY_CHECKSUMS options are in the
new syntax called WAIT and VERIFY_CHECKUMS, and the default value is
false. In the new syntax, the FAST option has been replaced by a
CHECKSUM option whose value may be 'fast' or 'spread'.
This commit does not remove support for the old syntax. It just adds
the new one as an additional option, and makes pg_basebackup prefer
the new syntax when the server is new enough to support it.

Extend the replication command CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT to support the
TWO_PHASE option. This will allow decoding commands like PREPARE
TRANSACTION, COMMIT PREPARED and ROLLBACK PREPARED for slots created with
this option. The decoding of the transaction happens at prepare command.
This patch also adds support of two-phase in pg_recvlogical via a new
option --two-phase.
This option will also be used by future patches that allow streaming of
transactions at prepare time for built-in logical replication. With this,
the out-of-core logical replication solutions can enable replication of
two-phase transactions via replication protocol.

When requesting a particular replication slot, the new pg_basebackup
option -C/--create-slot creates it before starting to replicate from it.
Further refactor the slot creation logic to include the temporary slot
creation logic into the same function. Add new arguments is_temporary
and preserve_wal to CreateReplicationSlot(). Print in --verbose mode
that a slot has been created.

For performance reasons a larger segment size than the default 16MB
can be useful. A larger segment size has two main benefits: Firstly,
in setups using archiving, it makes it easier to write scripts that
can keep up with higher amounts of WAL, secondly, the WAL has to be
written and synced to disk less frequently.
But at the same time large segment size are disadvantageous for
smaller databases. So far the segment size had to be configured at
compile time, often making it unrealistic to choose one fitting to a
particularly load. Therefore change it to a initdb time setting.
This includes a breaking changes to the xlogreader.h API, which now
requires the current segment size to be configured. For that and
similar reasons a number of binaries had to be taught how to recognize
the current segment size.

Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.
Commit e3860ffa4d wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.
Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

Twiddle the replication-related code so that its timestamp variables
are declared TimestampTz, rather than the uninformative "int64" that
was previously used for meant-to-be-always-integer timestamps.
This resolves the int64-vs-TimestampTz declaration inconsistencies
introduced by commit 7c030783a, though in the opposite direction to
what was originally suggested.
This required including datatype/timestamp.h in a couple more places
than before. I decided it would be a good idea to slim down that
header by not having it pull in <float.h> etc, as those headers are
no longer at all relevant to its purpose. Unsurprisingly, a small number
of .c files turn out to have been depending on those inclusions, so add
them back in the .c files as needed.

Temporary replication slots will be used by default when wal streaming
is used and no slot name is specified with -S. If a slot name is
specified, then a permanent slot with that name is used. If --no-slot is
specified, then no permanent or temporary slot will be used.
Temporary slots are only used on 10.0 and newer, of course.
pg_receivexlog and pg_recvlogical error out when --create-slot is
specified and a slot with the same name already exists. In some cases,
especially with pg_receivexlog, that's rather annoying and requires
additional scripting.
Backpatch to 9.5 as slot control functions have newly been added to
pg_receivexlog, and there doesn't seem much point leaving it in a less
useful state.

Move some more code to manage replication connection command to
streamutil.c. A later patch will introduce replication slot via
pg_receivexlog and this avoid duplicating relevant code between
pg_receivexlog and pg_recvlogical.
Author: Michael Paquier, with some editing by me.
If an error occurs in the foreground (backup) process of pg_basebackup,
and we exit in a controlled way, the background process (streaming
xlog process) would stay around and keep streaming.
Replication slots are a crash-safe data structure which can be created
on either a master or a standby to prevent premature removal of
write-ahead log segments needed by a standby, as well as (with
hot_standby_feedback=on) pruning of tuples whose removal would cause
replication conflicts. Slots have some advantages over existing
techniques, as explained in the documentation.
In a few places, we refer to the type of replication slots introduced
by this patch as "physical" slots, because forthcoming patches for
logical decoding will also have slots, but with somewhat different
properties.

Without this, there's no way to pass arbitrary libpq connection parameters
to these applications. It's a bit strange that the option is called
-d/--dbname, when in fact you can *not* pass a database name in it, but it's
consistent with other client applications where a connection string is also
passed using -d.
Original patch by Amit Kapila, heavily modified by me.
libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the
various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate
implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's
intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better
to keep them separate.
The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc
and friends, which many frontend programs were already using.
At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions
for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can
also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in
the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of
MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of
performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres
so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the
previous one.
This lets us clean up some places that were already with
localized hacks.
Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by
Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of
that. libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.
We had a number of variants on the theme of "malloc or die", with the
majority named like "pg_malloc", but by no means all. Standardize on the
names pg_malloc, pg_malloc0, pg_realloc, pg_strdup. Get rid of pg_calloc
entirely in favor of using pg_malloc0.
This is an essentially cosmetic change, so no back-patch. (I did find
a couple of places where psql and pg_dump were using plain malloc or
strdup instead of the pg_ versions, but they don't look significant
enough to bother back-patching.)
Add option for parallel streaming of the transaction log while a
base backup is running, to get the logfiles before the server has
removed them.
Also add a tool called pg_receivexlog, which streams the transaction
log into files, creating a log archive without having to wait for
segments to complete, thus decreasing the window of data loss without
having to waste space using archive_timeout. This works best in
combination with archive_command - suggested usage docs etc coming later.
