The extended query protocol implementation I added in commit
acb7e4eb6b has bugs when used in pipeline mode. Rather than spend
more time trying to fix it, remove that code and make the function rely
on simple query protocol only, meaning it can no longer be used in
pipeline mode.
Users can easily change their applications to use PQsendQueryParams
instead. We leave PQsendQuery in place for Postgres 14, just in case
somebody is using it and has not hit the mentioned bugs; but we should
recommend that it not be used.
Backpatch to 15.
Per bug report from Gabriele Varrazzo.

We previously thought that allowing such cases can confuse users when they
specify DROP TABLES IN SCHEMA but that doesn't seem to be the case based
on discussion. This helps to uplift the restriction during
ALTER TABLE ... SET SCHEMA which used to ensure that we couldn't end up
with a publication having both a schema and the same schema's table.
To allow this, we need to forbid having any schema on a publication if
column lists on a table are specified (and vice versa). This is because
otherwise we still need a restriction during ALTER TABLE ... SET SCHEMA to
forbid cases where it could lead to a publication having both a schema and
the same schema's table with column list.
Based on suggestions by Peter Eisentraut.

This may be a bit too subtle, but removing that word from there makes
this clause no longer a perfect parallel of the GRANT variant "ALL
TABLES IN SCHEMA": indeed, for publications what we record is the schema
itself, not the tables therein, which means that any tables added to the
schema in the future are also published. This is completely different
to what GRANT does, which is affect only the tables that exist when the
command is executed.
There isn't resounding support for this change, but there are a few
positive votes and no opposition. Because the time to 15 RC1 is very
short, let's get this out now.

Commit 5ef1eefd76, which added
archive_library, purged most mentions of archive_command from the
documentation. This is inappropriate, since archive_command is still
a feature in use and users will want to see information about it.
This restores all the removed mentions and rephrases things so that
archive_command and archive_library are presented as alternatives of
each other.

The bounds hardcoded in compression.c since ffd5365 (minimum at 1 and
maximum at 22) do not match the reality of what zstd is able to
handle, these values being available via ZSTD_maxCLevel() and
ZSTD_minCLevel() at run-time. The maximum of 22 is actually correct
in recent versions, but the minimum was not as the library can go down
to -131720 by design. This commit changes the code to use the run-time
values in the code instead of some hardcoded ones.
Zstd seems to assume that these bounds could change in the future, and
Postgres will be able to adapt automatically to such changes thanks to
what's being done in this commit.

PG_COMPRESSION_OPTION_LEVEL is removed from the compression
specification logic, and instead the compression level is always
assigned with each library's default if nothing is directly given. This
centralizes the checks on the compression methods supported by a given
build, and always assigns a default compression level when parsing a
compression specification. This results in complaining at an earlier
stage than previously if a build supports a compression method or not,
aka when parsing a specification in the backend or the frontend, and not
when processing it. zstd, lz4 and zlib are able to handle in their
respective routines setting up the compression level the case of a
default value, hence the backend or frontend code (pg_receivewal or
pg_basebackup) has now no need to know what the default compression
level should be if nothing is specified: the logic is now done so as the
specification parsing assigns it. It can also be enforced by passing
down a "level" set to the default value, that the backend will accept
(the replication protocol is for example able to handle a command like
BASE_BACKUP (COMPRESSION_DETAIL 'gzip:level=-1')).
This code simplification fixes an issue with pg_basebackup --gzip
introduced by ffd5365, where the tarball of the streamed WAL segments
would be created as of pg_wal.tar.gz with uncompressed contents, while
the intention is to compress the segments with gzip at a default level.
The origin of the confusion comes from the handling of the default
compression level of gzip (-1 or Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION) and the value of
0 was getting assigned, which is what walmethods.c would consider
as equivalent to no compression when streaming WAL segments with its tar
methods. Assigning always the compression level removes the confusion
of some code paths considering a value of 0 set in a specification as
either no compression or a default compression level.
Note that 010_pg_basebackup.pl has to be adjusted to skip a few tests
where the shape of the compression detail string for client and
server-side compression was checked using gzip. This is a result of the
code simplification, as gzip specifications cannot be used if a build
does not support it.

Locale options can be specified for initdb, createdb, and CREATE
DATABASE. In initdb, it has always been possible to specify --locale
and then some --lc-* option to override a category. CREATE DATABASE
and createdb didn't allow that, requiring either the all-categories
option or only per-category options. In
f2553d4306, this was changed in CREATE
DATABASE (perhaps by accident?) to be more like the initdb behavior,
but createdb still had the old behavior.
Now we change createdb to match the behavior of CREATE DATABASE and
initdb, and also update the documentation of CREATE DATABASE to match
the new behavior, which was not done in the above commit.

pg_walinspect uses datatype double (double precision floating point
number) for WAL stats percentile calculations and expose them via
float4 (single precision floating point number), which an unnecessary
loss of precision and confusing. Even though, it's harmless that way,
let's use float8 (double precision floating-point number) to be in
sync with what pg_walinspect does internally and what it exposes to
the users. This seems to be the pattern used elsewhere in the code.

Remove no-longer-accurate claim that Windows lacks home directories.
Clarify the text by more clearly distinguishing which statements
reflect hard-wired choices versus which ones reflect overridable
defaults. Update the examples of version-specific file names,
and make them track future version changes by using "&majorversion;"
and "&version;". (BTW, in devel and beta releases this method
correctly says that you can use strings like "16devel" and "15beta4"
as minor version identifiers.)
Back-patch to v15, but not further, with the thought that in older
releases the examples with three-part version numbers still had
some historical relevance. v15 will be the first major release after
the last 9.x branch went out of support.

When using the BSD UUID functions, contrib/uuid-ossp expects
uuid_create() to produce a version-1 UUID. FreeBSD still does so,
but in recent NetBSD releases that function produces a version-4
(random) UUID instead. That's not acceptable for our purposes:
if the user wanted v4 she would have asked for v4, not v1.
Hence, check the version digit and complain if it's not '1'.
Also drop the documentation's claim that the NetBSD implementation
is usable. It might be, depending on which OS version you're using,
but we're not going to get into that kind of detail.
(Maybe someday we should ditch all these external libraries
and just write our own UUID code, but today is not that day.)

Improve documentation regarding the limitations of unique and primary key
constraints on partitioned tables. The existing documentation didn't make
it clear that the constraint columns had to be present in the partition
key as bare columns. The reader could be led to believe that it was ok to
include the constraint columns as part of a function call's parameters or
as part of an expression. Additionally, the documentation didn't mention
anything about the fact that we disallow unique and primary key
constraints if the partition keys contain *any* function calls or
expressions, regardless of if the constraint columns appear as columns
elsewhere in the partition key.
The confusion here was highlighted by a report on the general mailing list
by James Vanns.
