In commit 84940644de, bms_add_range was added with an API to fail with
an error if an empty range was specified. This seems arbitrary and
unhelpful, so turn that case into a no-op instead. Callers that require
further verification on the arguments or result can apply them by
themselves.
This fixes the bug that partition pruning throws an API error for a case
involving the default partition of a default partition, as in the
included test case.

5c067521 erroneously had coded bms_prev_member assuming that a bitmapword
would always hold 32 bits and started it's search on what it thought was the
highest 8-bits of the word. This was not the case if bitmapwords were 64
bits.
In passing add a test to exercise this function a little. Previously there was
no coverage at all.
David Rowly
This works very much like the existing bms_last_member function, only it
traverses through the Bitmapset in the opposite direction from the most
significant bit down to the least significant bit. A special prevbit value of
-1 may be used to have the function determine the most significant bit. This
is useful for starting a loop. When there are no members less than prevbit,
the function returns -2 to indicate there are no more members.

Commit ab7271677 introduced code that attempts to order the child
scans of a Parallel Append node in a way that will minimize execution
time, based on total cost and startup cost. However, it failed to
think hard about what to do when estimated costs are exactly equal;
a case that's particularly likely to occur when comparing on startup
cost. In such a case the ordering of the child paths would be left
to the whims of qsort, an algorithm that isn't even stable.
We can improve matters by applying the rule used elsewhere in the
planner: if total costs are equal, sort on startup cost, and
vice versa. When both cost estimates are exactly equal, rather
than letting qsort do something unpredictable, sort based on the
child paths' relids, which should typically result in sorting in
inheritance order. (The latter provision requires inventing a
qsort-style comparator for bitmapsets, but maybe we'll have use
for that for other reasons in future.)
This results in a few plan changes in the select_parallel test,
but those all look more reasonable than before, when the actual
underlying cost numbers are taken into account.

The lower case spellings are C and C++ standard and are used in most
parts of the PostgreSQL sources. The upper case spellings are only used
in some files/modules. So standardize on the standard spellings.
The APIs for ICU, Perl, and Windows define their own TRUE and FALSE, so
those are left as is when using those APIs.
In code comments, we use the lower-case spelling for the C concepts and
keep the upper-case spelling for the SQL concepts.

This extends the Aggregate node with two new features: HashAggregate
can now run multiple hashtables concurrently, and a new strategy
MixedAggregate populates hashtables while doing sorted grouping.
The planner will now attempt to save as many sorts as possible when
planning grouping sets queries, while not exceeding work_mem for the
estimated combined sizes of all hashtables used. No SQL-level changes
are required. There should be no user-visible impact other than the
new EXPLAIN output and possible changes to result ordering when ORDER
BY was not used (which affected a few regression tests). The
enable_hashagg option is respected.

This patch adds a function that replaces a bms_membership() test followed
by a bms_singleton_member() call, performing both the test and the
extraction of a singleton set's member in one scan of the bitmapset.
The performance advantage over the old way is probably minimal in current
usage, but it seems worthwhile on notational grounds anyway.
David Rowley
This patch adds a way of iterating through the members of a bitmapset
nondestructively, unlike the old way with bms_first_member(). While
bms_next_member() is very slightly slower than bms_first_member()
(at least for typical-size bitmapsets), eliminating the need to palloc
and pfree a temporary copy of the target bitmapset is a significant win.
So this method should be preferred in all cases where a temporary copy
would be necessary.
Tom Lane, with suggestions from Dean Rasheed and David Rowley
Previously bms_add_member() would palloc a whole-new copy of the existing
set, copy the words, and pfree the old one. repalloc() is potentially much
faster, and more importantly, this is less surprising if CurrentMemoryContext
is not the same as the context the old set is in. bms_add_member() still
allocates a new bitmapset in CurrentMemoryContext if NULL is passed as
argument, but that is a lot less likely to induce bugs.

This patch fixes the planner so that it can generate nestloop-with-
inner-indexscan plans even with one or more levels of joining between
the indexscan and the nestloop join that is supplying the parameter.
The executor was fixed to handle such cases some time ago, but the
planner was not ready. This should improve our plans in many situations
where join ordering restrictions formerly forced complete table scans.
There is probably a fair amount of tuning work yet to be done, because
of various heuristics that have been added to limit the number of
parameterized paths considered. However, we are not going to find out
what needs to be adjusted until the code gets some real-world use, so
it's time to get it in there where it can be tested easily.
Note API change for index AM amcostestimate functions. I'm not aware of
any non-core index AMs, but if there are any, they will need minor
adjustments.
delivering a well-randomized hash value. I got religion on this after
observing that performance of multi-batch hash join degrades terribly if the
higher-order bits of hash values aren't random, as indeed was true for say
hashes of small integer values. It's now expected and documented that hash
functions should use hash_any or some comparable method to ensure that all
bits of their output are about equally random.
initdb forced because this change invalidates existing hash indexes. For the
same reason, this isn't back-patchable; the hash join performance problem
will get a band-aid fix in the back branches.
node emits only those vars that are actually needed above it in the
plan tree. (There were comments in the code suggesting that this was
done at some point in the dim past, but for a long time we have just
made join nodes emit everything that either input emitted.) Aside from
being marginally more efficient, this fixes the problem noted by Peter
Eisentraut where a join above an IN-implemented-as-join might fail,
because the subplan targetlist constructed in the latter case didn't
meet the expectation of including everything.
Along the way, fix some places that were O(N^2) in the targetlist
length. This is not all the trouble spots for wide queries by any
means, but it's a step forward.
