Add a fdwhandler column to pg_foreign_data_wrapper, plus HANDLER options
in the CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER and ALTER FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER commands,
plus pg_dump support for same. Also invent a new pseudotype fdw_handler
with properties similar to language_handler.
This is split out of the "FDW API" patch for ease of review; it's all stuff
we will certainly need, regardless of any other details of the FDW API.
FDW handler functions will not actually get called yet.
In passing, fix some omissions and infelicities in foreigncmds.c.

They share the same locking namespace with the existing session-level
advisory locks, but they are automatically released at the end of the
current transaction and cannot be released explicitly via unlock
functions.

ts_typanalyze.c computes MCE statistics as fractions of the non-null rows,
which seems fairly reasonable, and anyway changing it in released versions
wouldn't be a good idea. But then ts_selfuncs.c has to account for that.
Failure to do so results in overestimates in columns with a significant
fraction of null documents. Back-patch to 8.4 where this stuff was
introduced.

That function was supposing that indexoid == 0 for a hypothetical index,
but that is not likely to be true in any non-toy implementation of an index
adviser, since assigning a fake OID is the only way to know at EXPLAIN time
which hypothetical index got selected. Fix by adding a flag to
IndexOptInfo to mark hypothetical indexes. Back-patch to 9.0 where
get_actual_variable_range() was added.

These are needed to support reloading dumps of 9.0 installations containing
contrib/intarray or contrib/tsearch2. Since not only regular dump/reload
but binary upgrade would fail, it seems worth the trouble to carry these
stubs for awhile. Note that the contrib opclasses referencing these
functions will still work fine, since GIN doesn't actually pay any
attention to the declared signature of a support function.
Standby optionally sends back information about oldestXmin of queries
which is then checked and applied to the WALSender's proc->xmin.
GetOldestXmin() is modified slightly to agree with GetSnapshotData(),
so that all backends on primary include WALSender within their snapshots.
Note this does nothing to change the snapshot xmin on either master or
standby. Feedback piggybacks on the standby reply message.
vacuum_defer_cleanup_age is no longer used on standby, though parameter
still exists on primary, since some use cases still exist.

Recent releases had a check on rel->rd_refcnt in heap_drop_with_catalog,
but failed to cover the possibility of pending trigger events at DROP time.
(Before 8.4 we didn't even check the refcnt.) When the trigger events were
eventually fired, you'd get "could not open relation with OID nnn" errors,
as in recent report from strk. Better to throw a suitable error when the
DROP is attempted.
Also add a similar check in DROP INDEX.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

The original design of pg_available_extensions did not consider the
possibility of version-specific control files. Split it into two views:
pg_available_extensions shows information that is generic about an
extension, while pg_available_extension_versions shows all available
versions together with information that could be version-dependent.
Also, add an SRF pg_extension_update_paths() to assist in checking that
a collection of update scripts provide sane update path sequences.
This allows us to have an unambiguous rule for deconstructing the names
of script files and secondary control files, without having to forbid
extension and version names from containing any dashes. We do have to
forbid them from containing double dashes or leading/trailing dashes,
but neither restriction is likely to bother anyone in practice.
Per discussion, this seems like a better solution overall than the
original design.
This change causes a multi-step update sequence to behave exactly as if the
updates had been commanded one at a time, including updating the "requires"
dependencies afresh at each step. The initial implementation took the
shortcut of examining only the final target version's "requires" and
changing the catalog entry but once. But on reflection that's a bad idea,
since it could lead to executing old update scripts under conditions
different than they were designed/tested for. Better to expend a few extra
cycles and avoid any surprises.
In the same spirit, if a CREATE EXTENSION FROM operation involves applying
a series of update files, it will act as though the CREATE had first been
done using the initial script's target version and then the additional
scripts were invoked with ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE.
I also removed the restriction about not changing encoding in secondary
control files. The new rule is that a script is assumed to be in whatever
encoding the control file(s) specify for its target version. Since this
reimplementation causes us to read each intermediate version's control
file, there's no longer any uncertainty about which encoding setting would
get applied.
relative, by creating a function path_is_relative_and_below_cwd() to
check for specific requirements. It is unclear if this fixes a security
problem or not but the new code is more robust.

When the old type is binary coercible to the new type and the using
clause does not change the column contents, we can avoid a full table
rewrite, though any indexes on the affected columns will still need
to be rebuilt. This applies, for example, when changing a varchar
column to be of type text.
The prior coding assumed that the set of operations that force a
rewrite is identical to the set of operations that must be propagated
to tables making use of the affected table's rowtype. This is
no longer true: even though the tuples in those tables wouldn't
need to be modified, the data type change invalidate indexes built
using those composite type columns. Indexes on the table we're
actually modifying can be invalidated too, of course, but the
existing machinery is sufficient to handle that case.
Along the way, add some debugging messages that make it possible
to understand what operations ALTER TABLE is actually performing
in these cases.

Arrange for the control files to be in $SHAREDIR/extension not
$SHAREDIR/contrib, since we're generally trying to deprecate the term
"contrib" and this is a once-in-many-moons opportunity to get rid of it in
install paths. Fix PGXS to install the $EXTENSION file into that directory
no matter what MODULEDIR is set to; a nondefault MODULEDIR should only
affect the script and secondary extension files. Fix the control file
directory parameter to be interpreted relative to $SHAREDIR, to avoid a
surprising disconnect between how you specify that and what you set
MODULEDIR to.
Per discussion with David Wheeler.
This follows recent discussions, so it's quite a bit different from
Dimitri's original. There will probably be more changes once we get a bit
of experience with it, but let's get it in and start playing with it.
This is still just core code. I'll start converting contrib modules
shortly.

Per discussion with Noah Misch, the previous coding, introduced by
my commit 65377e0b9c on 2011-02-06,
was really an abuse of RELKIND_COMPOSITE_TYPE, since the caller in
typecmds.c is actually passing the name of a domain. So go back
having a type name argument, but make the first argument a Relation
rather than just a string so we can tell whether it's a table or
a foreign table and emit the proper error message.
the standby has written, flushed, and applied the WAL. At the moment, this
is for informational purposes only, the values are only shown in
pg_stat_replication system view, but in the future they will also be needed
for synchronous replication.

some tweaking by me.

Flattening of subquery range tables during setrefs.c could lead to the
rangetable indexes in PlanRowMark nodes not matching up with the column
names previously assigned to the corresponding resjunk ctid (resp. tableoid
or wholerow) columns. Typical symptom would be either a "cannot extract
system attribute from virtual tuple" error or an Assert failure. This
wasn't a problem before 9.0 because we didn't support FOR UPDATE below the
top query level, and so the final flattening could never renumber an RTE
that was relevant to FOR UPDATE. Fix by using a plan-tree-wide unique
number for each PlanRowMark to label the associated resjunk columns, so
that the number need not change during flattening.
Per report from David Johnston (though I'm darned if I can see how this got
past initial testing of the relevant code). Back-patch to 9.0.
This follows my proposal of yesterday, namely that we try to recreate the
previous state of the extension exactly, instead of allowing CREATE
EXTENSION to run a SQL script that might create some entirely-incompatible
on-disk state. In --binary-upgrade mode, pg_dump won't issue CREATE
EXTENSION at all, but instead uses a kluge function provided by
pg_upgrade_support to recreate the pg_extension row (and extension-level
pg_depend entries) without creating any member objects. The member objects
are then restored in the same way as if they weren't members, in particular
using pg_upgrade's normal hacks to preserve OIDs that need to be preserved.
Then, for each member object, ALTER EXTENSION ADD is issued to recreate the
pg_depend entry that marks it as an extension member.
In passing, fix breakage in pg_upgrade's enum-type support: somebody didn't
fix it when the noise word VALUE got added to ALTER TYPE ADD. Also,
rationalize parsetree representation of COMMENT ON DOMAIN and fix
get_object_address() to allow OBJECT_DOMAIN.
This is an essential component of making the extension feature usable;
first because it's needed in the process of converting an existing
installation containing "loose" objects of an old contrib module into
the extension-based world, and second because we'll have to use it
in pg_dump --binary-upgrade, as per recent discussion.
Loosely based on part of Dimitri Fontaine's ALTER EXTENSION UPGRADE
patch.
