In the case where the target timestamp is before the origin timestamp

code incorrectly subtracted the stride anyway.

bogus results. (The submitted patch tried to avoid overflow, but
I'm not convinced it's right, and problematic cases are so far out of

Let's just use overflow-detecting arithmetic and throw errors.)

This adds support for infinity to the interval data type, using the
same input/output representation as the other date/time data types
that support infinity. This allows various arithmetic operations on
infinite dates, timestamps and intervals.
The new values are represented by setting all fields of the interval
to INT32/64_MIN for -infinity, and INT32/64_MAX for +infinity. This
ensures that they compare as less/greater than all other interval
values, without the need for any special-case comparison code.
Note that, since those 2 values were formerly accepted as legal finite
intervals, pg_upgrade and dump/restore from an old database will turn
them from finite to infinite intervals. That seems OK, since those
exact values should be extremely rare in practice, and they are
outside the documented range supported by the interval type, which
gives us a certain amount of leeway.

pg_input_error_info() is now a SQL function able to return a row with
more than just the error message generated for incorrect data type
inputs when these are able to handle soft failures, returning more
contents of ErrorData, as of:
- The error message (same as before).
- The error detail, if set.
- The error hint, if set.
- SQL error code.
All the regression tests that relied on pg_input_error_message() are
updated to reflect the effects of the rename.

This reverts commit eafdf9de06
and its back-branch counterparts. Corey Huinker pointed out that
we'd discussed this exact change back in 2016 and rejected it,
on the grounds that there's at least one usage pattern with LIMIT
where an infinite endpoint can usefully be used. Perhaps that
argument needs to be re-litigated, but there's no time left before
our back-branch releases. To keep our options open, restore the
status quo ante; if we do end up deciding to change things, waiting
one more quarter won't hurt anything.
Rather than just doing a straight revert, I added a new test case
demonstrating the usage with LIMIT. That'll at least remind us of
the issue if we forget again.

Using Roman numbers (via "RM" or "rm") for a conversion to calculate a
number of months has never considered the case of negative numbers,
where a conversion could easily cause out-of-bound memory accesses. The
conversions in themselves were not completely consistent either, as
specifying 12 would result in NULL, but it should mean XII.
This commit reworks the conversion calculation to have a more
consistent behavior:
- If the number of months and years is 0, return NULL.
- If the number of months is positive, return the exact month number.
- If the number of months is negative, do a backward calculation, with
-1 meaning December, -2 November, etc.

The previous implementation of EXTRACT mapped internally to
date_part(), which returned type double precision (since it was
implemented long before the numeric type existed). This can lead to
imprecise output in some cases, so returning numeric would be
preferrable. Changing the return type of an existing function is a
bit risky, so instead we do the following: We implement a new set of
functions, which are now called "extract", in parallel to the existing
date_part functions. They work the same way internally but use
numeric instead of float8. The EXTRACT construct is now mapped by the
parser to these new extract functions. That way, dumps of views
etc. from old versions (which would use date_part) continue to work
unchanged, but new uses will map to the new extract functions.
Additionally, the reverse compilation of EXTRACT now reproduces the
original syntax, using the new mechanism introduced in
40c24bfef9.
The following minor changes of behavior result from the new
implementation:
- The column name from an isolated EXTRACT call is now "extract"
instead of "date_part".
- Extract from date now rejects inappropriate field names such as
HOUR. It was previously mapped internally to extract from
timestamp, so it would silently accept everything appropriate for
timestamp.
- Return values when extracting fields with possibly fractional
values, such as second and epoch, now have the full scale that the
value has internally (so, for example, '1.000000' instead of just
'1').

The existing regression tests only tested the lower boundary of the
range supported by the timestamp and timestamptz types because "The
upper boundary differs between integer and float timestamps, so no
check". Since this is obsolete, add similar tests for the upper
boundary.
Some tests for timestamp and timestamptz were in the date.sql test
file. Move them to their appropriate files, or drop tests cases that
were already present there.

Many older tests where written in a style like
SELECT '' AS two, i.* FROM INT2_TBL
where the first column indicated the number of expected result rows.
This has gotten increasingly out of date, as the test data fixtures
have expanded, so a lot of these were wrong and misleading. Moreover,
this style isn't really necessary, since the psql output already shows
the number of result rows.
To clean this up, remove all those extra columns.

If the first transaction block in these tests were entered exactly
at midnight (California time), they'd report a bogus failure due
to 'now' and 'midnight' having the same values. Commit 8c2ac75c5
had dismissed this as being of negligible probability, but we've
now seen it happen in the buildfarm, so let's prevent it. We can
get pretty much the same test coverage without an it's-not-midnight
assumption by moving the does-'now'-work cases into their own test step.
While here, apply commit 47169c255's s/DELETE/TRUNCATE/ change to
timestamptz as well as timestamp (not sure why that didn't
occur to me at the time; the risk of failure is the same).

The DTK_DOW/DTK_ISODOW and DTK_DOY switch cases in timestamp_part() and
timestamptz_part() contained calls of timestamp2tm() that were fully
redundant with the ones done just above the switch. This evidently crept
in during commit 258ee1b63, which relocated that code from another place
where the calls were indeed needed. Just delete the redundant calls.
I (tgl) noted that our test coverage of these functions left quite a
bit to be desired, so extend timestamp.sql and timestamptz.sql to
cover all the branches.

Concurrent autovacuum could result in a change in the order of the
live rows in timestamp_tbl. While this would not happen with the
default autovacuum parameters, it's fairly easy to hit if
autovacuum_vacuum_threshold is made small enough to allow autovac
to decide to process this table. That's a stumbling block for trying
to exercise autovacuum aggressively using the core regression tests.
To fix, replace an unqualified DELETE with a TRUNCATE. There's a
similar DELETE just above (and no order-sensitive queries between),
so this doesn't lose any test coverage and might indeed be argued
to improve it.

Tighten the semantics of boundary-case timestamptz so that we allow
timestamps >= '4714-11-24 00:00+00 BC' and < 'ENDYEAR-01-01 00:00+00 AD'
exactly, no more and no less, but it is allowed to enter timestamps
within that range using non-GMT timezone offsets (which could make the
nominal date 4714-11-23 BC or ENDYEAR-01-01 AD). This eliminates
dump/reload failure conditions for timestamps near the endpoints.
To do this, separate checking of the inputs for date2j() from the
final range check, and allow the Julian date code to handle a range
slightly wider than the nominal range of the datatypes.
Also add a bunch of checks to detect out-of-range dates and timestamps
that formerly could be returned by operations such as date-plus-integer.
All C-level functions that return date, timestamp, or timestamptz should
now be proof against returning a value that doesn't pass IS_VALID_DATE()
or IS_VALID_TIMESTAMP().

to execute several SQL commands in less time than the granularity of
Windows' not-very-high-resolution gettimeofday(), leading to a failure

Also, it was recognized some time ago that the same area of the tests
