We missed performing table sync if the invalidation happened while the
non-ready tables list was being prepared. This occurs because the sync
state was set to valid at the end of non-ready table list preparation
irrespective of the invalidations processed while the list is being
prepared.
Fix it by changing the boolean variable to a tri-state enum and by setting
table state to valid only if no invalidations have occurred while the list
is being prepared.

This commit addresses a set of issues when changing token type mappings
in a text search configuration when using duplicated token names:
- ADD MAPPING would fail on insertion because of a constraint failure
after inserting the same mapping.
- ALTER MAPPING with an "overridden" configuration failed with "tuple
already updated by self" when the token mappings are removed.
- DROP MAPPING failed with "tuple already updated by self", like
previously, but in a different code path.
The code is refactored so the token names (with their numbers) are
handled as a List with unique members rather than an array with numbers,
ensuring that no duplicates mess up with the catalog inserts, updates
and deletes. The list is generated by getTokenTypes(), with the same
error handling as previously while duplicated tokens are discarded from
the list used to work on the catalogs.
Regression tests are expanded to cover much more ground for the cases
fixed by this commit, as there was no coverage for the code touched in
this commit. A bit more is done regarding the fact that a token name
not supported by a configuration's parser should result in an error even
if IF EXISTS is used in a DROP MAPPING clause. This is implied in the
code but there was no coverage for that, and it was very easy to miss.
These issues exist since at least their introduction in core with
140d4ebcb4, so backpatch all the way down.

This is equivalent to a revert of f193883 and fb32748, with the addition
that the declaration of the SQLValueFunction node needs to gain a couple
of node_attr for query jumbling. The performance impact of removing the
function call inlining is proving to be too huge for some workloads
where these are used. A worst-case test case of involving only simple
SELECT queries with a SQL keyword is proving to lead to a reduction of
10% in TPS via pgbench and prepared queries on a high-end machine.
None of the tests I ran back for this set of changes saw such a huge
gap, but Alexander Lakhin and Andres Freund have found that this can be
noticeable. Keeping the older performance would mean to do more
inlining in the executor when using COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX for a function
expression, similarly to what SQLValueFunction does. This requires more
redesign work and there is little time until 16beta1 is released, so for
now reverting the change is the best way forward, bringing back the
previous performance.

Eventually we should consider not resetting restart_lsn when invalidating a

In order to have the option to use O_DIRECT/FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING in a
later commit, we need the addresses of user space buffers to be well
aligned. The exact requirements vary by OS and file system (typically
sectors and/or memory pages). The address alignment size is set to
4096, which is enough for currently known systems: it matches modern
sectors and common memory page size. There is no standard governing
O_DIRECT's requirements so we might eventually have to reconsider this
with more information from the field or future systems.
Aligning I/O buffers on memory pages is also known to improve regular
buffered I/O performance.
Three classes of I/O buffers for regular data pages are adjusted:
(1) Heap buffers are now allocated with the new palloc_aligned() or
MemoryContextAllocAligned() functions introduced by commit 439f6175.
(2) Stack buffers now use a new struct PGIOAlignedBlock to respect
PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, if possible with this compiler. (3) The buffer
pool is also aligned in shared memory.
WAL buffers were already aligned on XLOG_BLCKSZ. It's possible for
XLOG_BLCKSZ to be configured smaller than PG_IO_ALIGNED_SIZE and thus
for O_DIRECT WAL writes to fail to be well aligned, but that's a
pre-existing condition and will be addressed by a later commit.
BufFiles are not yet addressed (there's no current plan to use O_DIRECT
for those, but they could potentially get some incidental speedup even
in plain buffered I/O operations through better alignment).
If we can't align stack objects suitably using the compiler extensions
we know about, we disable the use of O_DIRECT by setting PG_O_DIRECT to
0. This avoids the need to consider systems that have O_DIRECT but
can't align stack objects the way we want; such systems could in theory
be supported with more work but we don't currently know of any such
machines, so it's easier to pretend there is no O_DIRECT support
instead. That's an existing and tested class of system.
Add assertions that all buffers passed into smgrread(), smgrwrite() and
smgrextend() are correctly aligned, unless PG_O_DIRECT is 0 (= stack
alignment tricks may be unavailable) or the block size has been set too
small to allow arrays of buffers to be all aligned.

The primary bottlenecks for relation extension are:
1) The extension lock is held while acquiring a victim buffer for the new
page. Acquiring a victim buffer can require writing out the old page
contents including possibly needing to flush WAL.
2) When extending via ReadBuffer() et al, we write a zero page during the
extension, and then later write out the actual page contents. This can
nearly double the write rate.
3) The existing bulk relation extension infrastructure in hio.c just amortized
the cost of acquiring the relation extension lock, but none of the other
costs.
Unfortunately 1) cannot currently be addressed in a central manner as the
callers to ReadBuffer() need to acquire the extension lock. To address that,
this this commit moves the responsibility for acquiring the extension lock
into bufmgr.c functions. That allows to acquire the relation extension lock
for just the required time. This will also allow us to improve relation
extension further, without changing callers.
The reason we write all-zeroes pages during relation extension is that we hope
to get ENOSPC errors earlier that way (largely works, except for CoW
filesystems). It is easier to handle out-of-space errors gracefully if the
page doesn't yet contain actual tuples. This commit addresses 2), by using the
recently introduced smgrzeroextend(), which extends the relation, without
dirtying the kernel page cache for all the extended pages.
To address 3), this commit introduces a function to extend a relation by
multiple blocks at a time.
There are three new exposed functions: ExtendBufferedRel() for extending the
relation by a single block, ExtendBufferedRelBy() to extend a relation by
multiple blocks at once, and ExtendBufferedRelTo() for extending a relation up
to a certain size.
To avoid duplicating code between ReadBuffer(P_NEW) and the new functions,
ReadBuffer(P_NEW) now implements relation extension with
ExtendBufferedRel(), using a flag to tell ExtendBufferedRel() that the
relation lock is already held.
Note that this commit does not yet lead to a meaningful performance or
scalability improvement - for that uses of ReadBuffer(P_NEW) will need to be
converted to ExtendBuffered*(), which will be done in subsequent commits.

of the new compression method is implemented in compress_zstd.{c,h},
covering the pg_dump compression APIs. The rest of the patch adds test

The zstd library (which this patch relies on) supports multithreaded
compression since version 1.5. We however disallow that feature for now,
as it might interfere with parallel backups on platforms that rely on
threads (e.g. Windows). This can be improved / relaxed in the future.
This also fixes a minor issue in InitDiscoverCompressFileHandle(), which

param to random, hosts and addresses will be connected to in random
order. This then results in load balancing across these addresses and
hosts when multiple clients or frequent connection setups are used.
The randomization employed performs two levels of shuffling:
1. The given hosts are randomly shuffled, before resolving them

2. Once a host its addresses get resolved, the returned addresses
are shuffled, before trying to connect to them one-by-one.

When there are multiple publications for a subscription and one of those
publishes via the parent table by using publish_via_partition_root and the
other one directly publishes the child table, we end up copying the same
data twice during initial synchronization. The reason for this was that we
get both the parent and child tables from the publisher and try to copy
the data for both of them.
This patch extends the function pg_get_publication_tables() to take a
publication list as its input parameter. This allows us to exclude a
partition table whose ancestor is published by the same publication list.
This problem does exist in back-branches but we decide to fix it there in
a separate commit if required. The fix for back-branches requires quite
complicated changes to fetch the required table information from the
publisher as we can't update the function pg_get_publication_tables() in
back-branches. We are not sure whether we want to deviate and complicate
the code in back-branches for this problem as there are no field reports
yet.

following sequence of actions when tuple_update()/tuple_delete() finds

1. Attempt to update/delete tuple with tuple_update()/tuple_delete(), which
returns TM_Updated.
2. Lock tuple with tuple_lock().
3. Re-evaluate plan qual (recheck if we still need to update/delete and
calculate the new tuple for update).
4. Second attempt to update/delete tuple with tuple_update()/tuple_delete().
This attempt should be successful, since the tuple was previously locked.
This patch eliminates step 2 by taking the lock during first
tuple_update()/tuple_delete() call. Heap table access method saves some
efforts by checking the updated tuple once instead of twice. Future
undo-based table access methods, which will start from the latest row version,
can immediately place a lock there.
The code in nodeModifyTable.c is simplified by removing the nested switch/case.

Builds on 28e626bde0 and f30d62c2fc. See the former for motivation.
Rows of the view show IO operations for a particular backend type, IO target
object, IO context combination (e.g. a client backend's operations on
permanent relations in shared buffers) and each column in the view is the
total number of IO Operations done (e.g. writes). So a cell in the view would
be, for example, the number of blocks of relation data written from shared
buffers by client backends since the last stats reset.
In anticipation of tracking WAL IO and non-block-oriented IO (such as
temporary file IO), the "op_bytes" column specifies the unit of the "reads",
"writes", and "extends" columns for a given row.
Rows for combinations of IO operation, backend type, target object and context
that never occur, are ommitted entirely. For example, checkpointer will never
operate on temporary relations.
Similarly, if an IO operation never occurs for such a combination, the IO
operation's cell will be null, to distinguish from 0 observed IO
operations. For example, bgwriter should not perform reads.
Note that some of the cells in the view are redundant with fields in
pg_stat_bgwriter (e.g. buffers_backend). For now, these have been kept for
backwards compatibility.

This commit adds the infrastructure for more detailed IO statistics. The calls
to actually count IOs, a system view to access the new statistics,
documentation and tests will be added in subsequent commits, to make review
easier.
While we already had some IO statistics, e.g. in pg_stat_bgwriter and
pg_stat_database, they did not provide sufficient detail to understand what
the main sources of IO are, or whether configuration changes could avoid
IO. E.g., pg_stat_bgwriter.buffers_backend does contain the number of buffers
written out by a backend, but as that includes extending relations (always
done by backends) and writes triggered by the use of buffer access strategies,
it cannot easily be used to tune background writer or checkpointer. Similarly,
pg_stat_database.blks_read cannot easily be used to tune shared_buffers /
compute a cache hit ratio, as the use of buffer access strategies will often
prevent a large fraction of the read blocks to end up in shared_buffers.
The new IO statistics count IO operations (evict, extend, fsync, read, reuse,
and write), and are aggregated for each combination of backend type (backend,
autovacuum worker, bgwriter, etc), target object of the IO (relations, temp
relations) and context of the IO (normal, vacuum, bulkread, bulkwrite).
What is tracked in this series of patches, is sufficient to perform the
aforementioned analyses. Further details, e.g. tracking the number of buffer
hits, would make that even easier, but was left out for now, to keep the scope
of the already large patchset manageable.

Rename the developer option 'logical_decoding_mode' to the more flexible
name 'logical_replication_mode' because doing so will make it easier to
extend this option in the future to help test other areas of logical
replication.
Currently, it is used on the publisher side to allow streaming or
serializing each change in logical decoding. In the upcoming patch, we are
planning to use it on the subscriber. On the subscriber, it will allow
serializing the changes to file and notifies the parallel apply workers to
read and apply them at the end of the transaction.
We discussed exposing this parameter as a subscription option but

Currently, for large transactions, the publisher sends the data in
multiple streams (changes divided into chunks depending upon
logical_decoding_work_mem), and then on the subscriber-side, the apply
worker writes the changes into temporary files and once it receives the
commit, it reads from those files and applies the entire transaction. To
improve the performance of such transactions, we can instead allow them to
be applied via parallel workers.
In this approach, we assign a new parallel apply worker (if available) as
soon as the xact's first stream is received and the leader apply worker
will send changes to this new worker via shared memory. The parallel apply
worker will directly apply the change instead of writing it to temporary
files. However, if the leader apply worker times out while attempting to
send a message to the parallel apply worker, it will switch to
"partial serialize" mode - in this mode, the leader serializes all
remaining changes to a file and notifies the parallel apply workers to
read and apply them at the end of the transaction. We use a non-blocking
way to send the messages from the leader apply worker to the parallel
apply to avoid deadlocks. We keep this parallel apply assigned till the
transaction commit is received and also wait for the worker to finish at
commit. This preserves commit ordering and avoid writing to and reading
from files in most cases. We still need to spill if there is no worker
available.
This patch also extends the SUBSCRIPTION 'streaming' parameter so that the
user can control whether to apply the streaming transaction in a parallel
apply worker or spill the change to disk. The user can set the streaming
parameter to 'on/off', or 'parallel'. The parameter value 'parallel' means
the streaming will be applied via a parallel apply worker, if available.
The parameter value 'on' means the streaming transaction will be spilled
to disk. The default value is 'off' (same as current behaviour).
In addition, the patch extends the logical replication STREAM_ABORT
message so that abort_lsn and abort_time can also be sent which can be
used to update the replication origin in parallel apply worker when the
streaming transaction is aborted. Because this message extension is needed
to support parallel streaming, parallel streaming is not supported for
publications on servers < PG16.

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.
This patch is mostly by me, but it owes very substantial debt to
earlier work by Nikita Glukhov, Andrew Dunstan, and Amul Sul.

Currently, information about the permissions to be checked on relations
mentioned in a query is stored in their range table entries. So the
executor must scan the entire range table looking for relations that
need to have permissions checked. This can make the permission checking
part of the executor initialization needlessly expensive when many
inheritance children are present in the range range. While the
permissions need not be checked on the individual child relations, the
executor still must visit every range table entry to filter them out.
This commit moves the permission checking information out of the range
table entries into a new plan node called RTEPermissionInfo. Every
top-level (inheritance "root") RTE_RELATION entry in the range table
gets one and a list of those is maintained alongside the range table.
This new list is initialized by the parser when initializing the range
table. The rewriter can add more entries to it as rules/views are
expanded. Finally, the planner combines the lists of the individual
subqueries into one flat list that is passed to the executor for
checking.
To make it quick to find the RTEPermissionInfo entry belonging to a
given relation, RangeTblEntry gets a new Index field 'perminfoindex'
that stores the corresponding RTEPermissionInfo's index in the query's
list of the latter.
ExecutorCheckPerms_hook has gained another List * argument; the
signature is now:
typedef bool (*ExecutorCheckPerms_hook_type) (List *rangeTable,
List *rtePermInfos,
bool ereport_on_violation);
The first argument is no longer used by any in-core uses of the hook,
but we leave it in place because there may be other implementations that
do. Implementations should likely scan the rtePermInfos list to
determine which operations to allow or deny.

Compression specifications are currently used by pg_basebackup and
pg_receivewal, and are able to let the user control in an extended way
the method and level of compression used. As an effect of this commit,
pg_dump's -Z/--compress is now able to use more than just an integer, as
of the grammar "method[:detail]".
The method can be either "none" or "gzip", and can optionally take a
detail string. If the detail string is only an integer, it defines the
compression level. A comma-separated list of keywords can also be used
method allows for more options, the only keyword supported now is
"level".
The change is backward-compatible, hence specifying only an integer
leads to no compression for a level of 0 and gzip compression when the
level is greater than 0.
Most of the code changes are straight-forward, as pg_dump was relying on
an integer tracking the compression level to check for gzip or no
compression. These are changed to use a compression specification and
the algorithm stored in it.
As of this change, note that the dump format is not bumped because there
is no need yet to track the compression algorithm in the TOC entries.
Hence, we still rely on the compression level to make the difference
when reading them. This will be mandatory once a new compression method
is added, though.
In order to keep the code simpler when parsing the compression
specification, the code is changed so as pg_dump now fails hard when
using gzip on -Z/--compress without its support compiled, rather than
enforcing no compression without the user knowing about it except
through a warning. Like before this commit, archive and custom formats
are compressed by default when the code is compiled with gzip, and left
uncompressed without gzip.

The parsing of the authentication files for HBA and ident entries
happens in two phases:
- Tokenization of the files, creating a list of TokenizedAuthLines.
- Validation of the HBA and ident entries, building a set of HbaLines or
IdentLines.
The second phase doing the validation provides already some error
context about the configuration file and the line where a problem
happens, but there is no such information in the first phase when
tokenizing the files. This commit adds an ErrorContextCallback in
tokenize_auth_file(), with a context made of the line number and the
configuration file name involved in a problem. This is useful for files
included in an HBA file for user and database lists, and it will become
much more handy to track problems for files included via a potential
@include[_dir,_if_exists].
The error context is registered so as the full chain of events is
reported when using cascaded inclusions when for example
tokenize_auth_file() recurses over itself on new files, displaying one
context line for each file gone through when tokenizing things.

We have various requirements when using a dlist_head to keep track of the
number of items in the list. This, traditionally, has been done by
maintaining a counter variable in the calling code. Here we tidy this up
by adding "dclist", which is very similar to dlist but also keeps track of
the number of items stored in the list.
Callers may use the new dclist_count() function when they need to know how
many items are stored. Obtaining the count is an O(1) operation.
For simplicity reasons, dclist and dlist both use dlist_node as their node
type and dlist_iter/dlist_mutable_iter as their iterator type. dclists
have all of the same functionality as dlists except there is no function
named dclist_delete(). To remove an item from a list dclist_delete_from()
must be used. This requires knowing which dclist the given item is stored
in.
Additionally, here we also convert some dlists where additional code
exists to keep track of the number of items stored and to make these use
dclists instead.

This change simplifies some of the logic related to the generation and
creation of the backup_label and backup history files, which has become
unnecessarily complicated since the removal of the exclusive backup mode
in commit 39969e2. The code was previously generating the contents of
these files as a string (start phase for the backup_label and stop phase
for the backup history file), one problem being that the contents of the
backup_label string were scanned to grab some of its internal contents
at the stop phase.
This commit changes the logic so as we store the data required to build
these files in an intermediate structure named BackupState. The
backup_label file and backup history file strings are generated when
they are ready to be sent back to the client. Both files are now
generated with the same code path. While on it, this commit renames
some variables for clarity.
Two new files named xlogbackup.{c,h} are introduced in this commit, to
remove from xlog.c some of the logic around base backups. Note that
more could be moved to this new set of files.

Whenever we palloc a chunk of memory, traditionally, we prefix the
returned pointer with a pointer to the memory context to which the chunk
belongs. This is required so that we're able to easily determine the
owning context when performing operations such as pfree() and repalloc().
For the AllocSet context, prior to this commit we additionally prefixed
the pointer to the owning context with the size of the chunk. This made
the header 16 bytes in size. This 16-byte overhead was required for all
AllocSet allocations regardless of the allocation size.
For the generation context, the problem was worse; in addition to the
pointer to the owning context and chunk size, we also stored a pointer to
the owning block so that we could track the number of freed chunks on a
block.
The slab allocator had a 16-byte chunk header.
The changes being made here reduce the chunk header size down to just 8
bytes for all 3 of our memory context types. For small to medium sized
allocations, this significantly increases the number of chunks that we can
fit on a given block which results in much more efficient use of memory.
Additionally, this commit completely changes the rule that pointers to
palloc'd memory must be directly prefixed by a pointer to the owning
memory context and instead, we now insist that they're directly prefixed
by an 8-byte value where the least significant 3-bits are set to a value
to indicate which type of memory context the pointer belongs to. Using
those 3 bits as an index (known as MemoryContextMethodID) to a new array
which stores the methods for each memory context type, we're now able to
pass the pointer given to functions such as pfree() and repalloc() to the
function specific to that context implementation to allow them to devise
their own methods of finding the memory context which owns the given
allocated chunk of memory.
The reason we're able to reduce the chunk header down to just 8 bytes is
because of the way we make use of the remaining 61 bits of the required
8-byte chunk header. Here we also implement a general-purpose MemoryChunk
struct which makes use of those 61 remaining bits to allow the storage of
a 30-bit value which the MemoryContext is free to use as it pleases, and
also the number of bytes which must be subtracted from the chunk to get a
reference to the block that the chunk is stored on (also 30 bits). The 1
additional remaining bit is to denote if the chunk is an "external" chunk
or not. External here means that the chunk header does not store the
30-bit value or the block offset. The MemoryContext can use these
external chunks at any time, but must use them if any of the two 30-bit
fields are not large enough for the value(s) that need to be stored in
them. When the chunk is marked as external, it is up to the MemoryContext
to devise its own means to determine the block offset.
Using 3-bits for the MemoryContextMethodID does mean we're limiting
ourselves to only having a maximum of 8 different memory context types.
We could reduce the bit space for the 30-bit value a little to make way
for more than 3 bits, but it seems like it might be better to do that only
if we ever need more than 8 context types. This would only be a problem
if some future memory context type which does not use MemoryChunk really
couldn't give up any of the 61 remaining bits in the chunk header.
With this MemoryChunk, each of our 3 memory context types can quickly
obtain a reference to the block any given chunk is located on. AllocSet
is able to find the context to which the chunk is owned, by first
obtaining a reference to the block by subtracting the block offset as is
stored in the 'hdrmask' field and then referencing the block's 'aset'
field. The Generation context uses the same method, but GenerationBlock
did not have a field pointing back to the owning context, so one is added
by this commit.
In aset.c and generation.c, all allocations larger than allocChunkLimit
are stored on dedicated blocks. When there's just a single chunk on a
block like this, it's easy to find the block from the chunk, we just
subtract the size of the block header from the chunk pointer. The size of
these chunks is also known as we store the endptr on the block, so we can
just subtract the pointer to the allocated memory from that. Because we
can easily find the owning block and the size of the chunk for these
dedicated blocks, we just always use external chunks for allocation sizes
larger than allocChunkLimit. For generation.c, this sidesteps the problem
of non-external MemoryChunks being unable to represent chunk sizes >= 1GB.
This is less of a problem for aset.c as we store the free list index in
the MemoryChunk's spare 30-bit field (the value of which will never be
close to using all 30-bits). We can easily reverse engineer the chunk size
from this when needed. Storing this saves AllocSetFree() from having to
make a call to AllocSetFreeIndex() to determine which free list to put the
newly freed chunk on.
For the slab allocator, this commit adds a new restriction that slab
chunks cannot be >= 1GB in size. If there happened to be any users of
slab.c which used chunk sizes this large, they really should be using
AllocSet instead.
Here we also add a restriction that normal non-dedicated blocks cannot be
1GB or larger. It's now not possible to pass a 'maxBlockSize' >= 1GB
during the creation of an AllocSet or Generation context. Allocations can
still be larger than 1GB, it's just these will always be on dedicated
blocks (which do not have the 1GB restriction).

backend) which is intended to hold all the client information that
should be shared between the backend and any of its parallel workers,
access for extensions and triggers being the primary use case. There is
no need to push all the data of Port to the workers, and authn_id is
quite a generic concept so using a separate structure provides the best
balance (the name of the structure has been suggested by Robert Haas).
While on it, and per discussion as this would be useful for a potential
SYSTEM_USER that can be accessed through parallel workers, a second
field is added for the authentication method, copied directly from
Port.
ClientConnectionInfo is serialized and restored using a new parallel
key and a structure tracks the length of the authn_id, making the
addition of more fields straight-forward.

We have been using the term RelFileNode to refer to either (1) the
integer that is used to name the sequence of files for a certain relation
within the directory set aside for that tablespace/database combination;
or (2) that value plus the OIDs of the tablespace and database; or
occasionally (3) the whole series of files created for a relation
based on those values. Using the same name for more than one thing is
confusing.
Replace RelFileNode with RelFileNumber when we're talking about just the
single number, i.e. (1) from above, and with RelFileLocator when we're
talking about all the things that are needed to locate a relation's files
on disk, i.e. (2) from above. In the places where we refer to (3) as
a relfilenode, instead refer to "relation storage".
Since there is a ton of SQL code in the world that knows about
pg_class.relfilenode, don't change the name of that column, or of other
SQL-facing things that derive their name from it.
On the other hand, do adjust closely-related internal terminology. For
example, the structure member names dbNode and spcNode appear to be
derived from the fact that the structure itself was called RelFileNode,
so change those to dbOid and spcOid. Likewise, various variables with
names like rnode and relnode get renamed appropriately, according to
how they're being used in context.
Hopefully, this is clearer than before. It is also preparation for
future patches that intend to widen the relfilenumber fields from its
current width of 32 bits. Variables that store a relfilenumber are now
declared as type RelFileNumber rather than type Oid; right now, these
are the same, but that can now more easily be changed.

Currently, preloaded libraries are expected to request additional
shared memory and LWLocks in _PG_init(). However, it is not unusal
for such requests to depend on MaxBackends, which won't be
initialized at that time. Such requests could also depend on GUCs
that other modules might change. This introduces a new hook where
modules can safely use MaxBackends and GUCs to request additional
shared memory and LWLocks.
Furthermore, this change restricts requests for shared memory and
LWLocks to this hook. Previously, libraries could make requests
until the size of the main shared memory segment was calculated.
Unlike before, we no longer silently ignore requests received at
invalid times. Instead, we FATAL if someone tries to request
additional shared memory or LWLocks outside of the hook.
