Replace the hardcoded value with a GUC such that the iteration
count can be raised in order to increase protection against
brute-force attacks. The hardcoded value for SCRAM iteration
count was defined to be 4096, which is taken from RFC 7677, so
set the default for the GUC to 4096 to match. In RFC 7677 the
recommendation is at least 15000 iterations but 4096 is listed
as a SHOULD requirement given that it's estimated to yield a
0.5s processing time on a mobile handset of the time of RFC
writing (late 2015).
Raising the iteration count of SCRAM will make stored passwords
more resilient to brute-force attacks at a higher computational
cost during connection establishment. Lowering the count will
reduce computational overhead during connections at the tradeoff
of reducing strength against brute-force attacks.
There are however platforms where even a modest iteration count
yields a too high computational overhead, with weaker password
encryption schemes chosen as a result. In these situations,
SCRAM with a very low iteration count still gives benefits over
weaker schemes like md5, so we allow the iteration count to be
set to one at the low end.
The new GUC is intentionally generically named such that it can
be made to support future SCRAM standards should they emerge.
At that point the value can be made into key:value pairs with
an undefined key as a default which will be backwards compatible
with this.

This improves a few things in pg_walinspect:
- Return NULL rather than empty strings in pg_get_wal_records_info() for
the block references and the record description if there is no

Peter Geoghegan.
- Add a check on XLogRecHasAnyBlockRefs() for pg_get_wal_block_info(),
to directly skip records that have no block references. This speeds up

The nested-arrays code path in ExecEvalArrayExpr() used palloc to
allocate the result array, whereas every other array-creating function
has used palloc0 since 18c0b4ecc. This mostly works, but unused bits
past the end of the nulls bitmap may end up undefined. That causes
valgrind complaints with -DWRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES, and could
cause planner misbehavior as cited in 18c0b4ecc. There seems no very
good reason why we should strive to avoid palloc0 in just this one case,
so fix it the easy way with s/palloc/palloc0/.
While looking at that I noted that we also failed to check for overflow
of "nbytes" and "nitems" while summing the sizes of the sub-arrays,
potentially allowing a crash due to undersized output allocation.
For "nbytes", follow the policy used by other array-munging code of
checking for overflow after each addition. (As elsewhere, the last
addition of the array's overhead space doesn't need an extra check,
since palloc itself will catch a value between 1Gb and 2Gb.)
For "nitems", there's no very good reason to sum the inputs at all,
since we can perfectly well use ArrayGetNItems' result instead of
ignoring it.
Per discussion of this bug, also remove redundant zeroing of the
nulls bitmap in array_set_element and array_set_slice.

The "partitions_total" and "partitions_done" fields were updated
as though the current level of partitioning was the only one.
In multi-level cases, not only could partitions_total change
over the course of the command, but partitions_done could go
backwards or exceed the currently-reported partitions_total.
Fix by setting partitions_total to the total number of direct
and indirect children once at command start, and then just
incrementing partitions_done at appropriate points. Invent
a new progress monitoring function "pgstat_progress_incr_param"
to simplify doing the latter. We can avoid adding cost for the
former when doing CREATE INDEX, because ProcessUtility already
enumerates the children and it's pretty easy to pass the count
down to DefineIndex. In principle the same could be done in
ALTER TABLE, but that's structurally difficult; for now, just
eat the cost of an extra find_all_inheritors scan in that case.

The fields of NLSVERSIONINFOEX are of type DWORD, which is unsigned
long, so the results of the computations being printed are also of
type unsigned long.
The sslcertmode option controls whether the server is allowed and/or
required to request a certificate from the client. There are three
modes:
- "allow" is the default and follows the current behavior, where a
configured client certificate is sent if the server requests one
(via one of its default locations or sslcert). With the current
implementation, will happen whenever TLS is negotiated.
- "disable" causes the client to refuse to send a client certificate
even if sslcert is configured or if a client certificate is available in
one of its default locations.
- "require" causes the client to fail if a client certificate is never
sent and the server opens a connection anyway. This doesn't add any
additional security, since there is no guarantee that the server is
validating the certificate correctly, but it may helpful to troubleshoot
more complicated TLS setups.
sslcertmode=require requires SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb(), available since
OpenSSL 1.0.2. Note that LibreSSL does not include it.
Using a connection parameter different than require_auth has come up as
the simplest design because certificate authentication does not rely
directly on any of the AUTH_REQ_* codes, and one may want to require a
certificate to be sent in combination of a given authentication method,
like SCRAM-SHA-256.
TAP tests are added in src/test/ssl/, some of them relying on sslinfo to
check if a certificate has been set. These are compatible across all
the versions of OpenSSL supported on HEAD (currently down to 1.0.1).

The "und" locale is an alternative spelling of the root locale, but it
was not recognized until ICU 55. To maintain common behavior across
all supported ICU versions, check for "und" and replace with "root"
before opening.
Previously, the lack of support for "und" was dangerous, because
versions 54 and older fall back to the environment when a locale is
not found. If the user specified "und" for the language (which is
expected and documented), it could not only resolve to the wrong
collator, but it could unexpectedly change (which could lead to
corrupt indexes).
This effectively reverts commit d72900bded, which worked around the
problem for the built-in "unicode" collation, and is no longer
necessary.

This is evidently not required by most compilers, but buildfarm
member fairywren is unhappy without it. It looks like the meson
infrastructure has this right already.
Prior to the introduction of the compression API in e9960732a9, pg_dump
would use the ZLIB_IN_SIZE/ZLIB_OUT_SIZE to size input/output buffers.
Commit 0da243fed0 introduced similar constants for LZ4, but while gzip
defined both buffers to be 4kB, LZ4 used 4kB and 16kB without any clear
reasoning why that's desirable.
Furthermore, parts of the code unaware of which compression is used
(e.g. pg_backup_directory.c) continued to use ZLIB_OUT_SIZE directly.
Simplify by replacing the various constants with DEFAULT_IO_BUFFER_SIZE,
set to 4kB. The compression implementations still have an option to use
a custom value, but considering 4kB was fine for 20+ years, I find that
unlikely (and we'd probably just increase the default buffer size).

After 0da243fed0 got committed, we've received a report about a compiler
warning, related to the new LZ4File_gets() function:
compress_lz4.c: In function 'LZ4File_gets':
compress_lz4.c:492:19: warning: comparison of unsigned expression in
'< 0' is always false [-Wtype-limits]
492 | if (dsize < 0)
The reason is very simple - dsize is declared as size_t, which is an
unsigned integer, and thus the check is pointless and we might fail to
notice an error in some cases (or fail in a strange way a bit later).
The warning could have been silenced by simply changing the type, but we
realized the API mostly assumes all the libraries use the same types and
report errors the same way (e.g. by returning 0 and/or negative value).
But we can't make this assumption - the gzip/lz4 libraries already
disagree on some of this, and even if they did a library added in the
future might not.
The right solution is to define what the API does, and translate the
library-specific behavior in consistent way (so that the internal errors
are not exposed to users of our compression API). So this adjusts the
data types in a couple places, so that we don't miss library errors, and
simplifies and unifies the error reporting to simply return true/false
(instead of e.g. size_t).
While at it, make sure LZ4File_open_write() does not clobber errno in
case open_func() fails.

Currently, in read committed transaction isolation mode (default), we have the
following sequence of actions when tuple_update()/tuple_delete() finds
the tuple updated by concurrent transaction.
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

undo-based table access methods, which will start from the latest row version,
can immediately place a lock there.
