The OAT hooks are added in ALTER TABLE for the following subcommands:
- { ENABLE | DISABLE | [NO] FORCE } ROW LEVEL SECURITY
- { ENABLE | DISABLE } TRIGGER
- { ENABLE | DISABLE } RULE. Note that there was hook for pg_rewrite,
but not for relation ALTER'ed in pg_class.
Tests are added to test_oat_hook for all the subcommand patterns gaining
hooks here. Based on an ask from Legs Mansion.

While executing maintenance operations (ANALYZE, CLUSTER, REFRESH
MATERIALIZED VIEW, REINDEX, or VACUUM), set search_path to
'pg_catalog, pg_temp' to prevent inconsistent behavior.
Functions that are used for functional indexes, in index expressions,
or in materialized views and depend on a different search path must be
declared with CREATE FUNCTION ... SET search_path='...'.
This change addresses a security risk introduced in commit 60684dd834,
where a role with MAINTAIN privileges on a table may be able to
escalate privileges to the table owner. That commit is not yet part of
any release, so no need to backpatch.

Previously, meson installed modules under src/test/modules/ as part of
a normal installation, even though these files are only meant for use
by tests. This is because there is no way to set up up the build
system to install extra things only when told.
This patch fixes that with a workaround: We don't install these
modules as part of meson install, but we create a new "test" that runs
before the real tests whose action it is to install these files. The
installation is done by manual copies using a small helper script.

force_parallel_mode is meant to be used to allow us to exercise the
parallel query infrastructure to ensure that it's working as we expect.
It seems some users think this GUC is for forcing the query planner into
picking a parallel plan regardless of the costs. A quick look at the
documentation would have made them realize that they were wrong, but the
GUC is likely too conveniently named which, evidently, seems to often
result in users expecting that it forces the planner into usefully
parallelizing queries.
Here we rename the GUC to something which casual users are less likely to
mistakenly think is what they need to make their query run more quickly.
For now, the old name can still be used. We'll revisit if the old name
mapping can be removed once the buildfarm configs are all updated.

Currently, information about the permissions to be checked on relations
mentioned in a query is stored in their range table entries. So the
executor must scan the entire range table looking for relations that
need to have permissions checked. This can make the permission checking
part of the executor initialization needlessly expensive when many
inheritance children are present in the range range. While the
permissions need not be checked on the individual child relations, the
executor still must visit every range table entry to filter them out.
This commit moves the permission checking information out of the range
table entries into a new plan node called RTEPermissionInfo. Every
top-level (inheritance "root") RTE_RELATION entry in the range table
gets one and a list of those is maintained alongside the range table.
This new list is initialized by the parser when initializing the range
table. The rewriter can add more entries to it as rules/views are
expanded. Finally, the planner combines the lists of the individual
subqueries into one flat list that is passed to the executor for
checking.
To make it quick to find the RTEPermissionInfo entry belonging to a
given relation, RangeTblEntry gets a new Index field 'perminfoindex'
that stores the corresponding RTEPermissionInfo's index in the query's
list of the latter.
ExecutorCheckPerms_hook has gained another List * argument; the
signature is now:
typedef bool (*ExecutorCheckPerms_hook_type) (List *rangeTable,
List *rtePermInfos,
bool ereport_on_violation);
The first argument is no longer used by any in-core uses of the hook,
but we leave it in place because there may be other implementations that
do. Implementations should likely scan the rtePermInfos list to
determine which operations to allow or deny.

The test output varies when debug_discard_caches is enabled,
because that causes extra executions of recomputeNamespacePath.
Maybe putting a hook in that was a bad idea, but as a stopgap,
just turn off debug_discard_caches in this test.
Per buildfarm (now that we have debug_discard_caches coverage
again). Back-patch to v15 where this module was added.

The generated resource files aren't exactly the same ones as the old
buildsystems generate. Previously "InternalName" and "OriginalFileName" were
mostly wrong / not set (despite being required), but that was hard to fix in
at least the make build. Additionally, the meson build falls back to a
"auto-generated" description when not set, and doesn't set it in a few cases -
unlikely that anybody looks at these descriptions in detail.

Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle
it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow
incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for
developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other
issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together
they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system.
After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a
good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects.
We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of
the new build system and mature it in tree.
This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports
building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For
Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for
incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but
building slower).
Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM
bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits
requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only
extensions) are not yet addressed.
When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual
studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support
MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism.
The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon
after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the
autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at
least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported
versions build with meson.

In the short time this function has existed, it's already proven to be
a nontrivial maintenance burden, since it has to be updated whenever a
node tag is added or removed. Although in principle we could now
automate that, I see little justification for having such functionality
here at all. The function is only being applied to utility statements,
for which we already have infrastructure for obtaining string names.
Moreover, that infrastructure produces already-familiar-to-users names,
unlike nodetag_to_string().
So, remove this function and use the existing infrastructure instead.
That saves over a thousand lines of largely-unreachable code.
Back-patch to v15 where this code came in. Although it seems unlikely
that v15's nodetag list will change anymore, we might as well keep the
two branches looking and acting alike; otherwise back-patching any
test-results changes in this area will be painful.

In what must have been a copy'n paste mistake, all the flag tests use
the same flag rather than a different flag each. The bug is not
suprising, considering that it's dead code; add a minimal, testimonial
line to cover it.
This is all pretty inconsequential, because this is just example code,
but it had better be correct.

Commit f10a025cfe added support for List to store Xids, but didn't
handle the new type in all cases. Add some obviously necessary pieces.
As far as I am aware, this is all dead code as far as core code is
concerned, but it seems unacceptable not to have it in case third-party
code wants to rely on this type of list. (Some parts of the List API
remain unimplemented, but that can be fixed as and when needed -- see
lack of list_intersection_oid, list_deduplicate_int as precedents.)

This addresses two issues in the tests of test_oat_hooks:
- The role regress_test_user was being left behind, preventing the test
to succeed on repeated runs. It makes sense to leave some objects
behind to have more coverage for pg_upgrade (as does test_pg_dump), but
the role dropped here does not own any objects so there is no reason to
keep it.
- GRANT SET ON PARAMETER is issued, creating an entry in
pg_parameter_acl without cleaning up the entry created. This causes
an overlap with unsafe_tests as both use work_mem, making the latter
fail. This commit adds an extra REVOKE SET ON PARAMETER to clean the
contents of pg_parameter_acl, switching to maintenance_work_mem rather
than work_mem to avoid an overlap between both tests.
The tests of test_oat_hooks cannot use installcheck yet as these are
proving to be unstable with caching and the namespace search hooks, so
the issues fixed here cannot be reached yet, but they would be once the
hook issue is addressed and installcheck is allowed again in
test_oat_hooks.

Backpatch-through: 15
In the same vein as commit 251154beb, make it clear that we never
instantiate PlanState.
Also mark MemoryContextData as abstract. This has no effect right now,
since memnodes.h isn't one of the files fed to gen_node_support.pl.
But it seems like good documentation and future-proofing.
The code for unloading a library has been commented-out for over 12
years, ever since commit 602a9ef5a7, and we're
no closer to supporting it now than we were back then.

This patch allows "PGC_SUSET" parameters to be set by non-superusers
if they have been explicitly granted the privilege to do so.
The privilege to perform ALTER SYSTEM SET/RESET on a specific parameter
can also be granted.
Such privileges are cluster-wide, not per database. They are tracked
in a new shared catalog, pg_parameter_acl.
Granting and revoking these new privileges works as one would expect.
One caveat is that PGC_USERSET GUCs are unaffected by the SET privilege
--- one could wish that those were handled by a revocable grant to
PUBLIC, but they are not, because we couldn't make it robust enough
for GUCs defined by extensions.
