This fixes one warning generated by GCC and present in the test case
array part of ECPG.  This likely got missed in past fixes like 3a4b891

Tom Lane b654714f9b Fix failures to ignore \r when reading Windows-style newlines.
libpq failed to ignore Windows-style newlines in connection service files.
This normally wasn't a problem on Windows itself, because fgets() would
convert \r\n to just \n.  But if libpq were running inside a program that
changes the default fopen mode to binary, it would see the \r's and think
they were data.  In any case, it's project policy to ignore \r in text
files unconditionally, because people sometimes try to use files with
DOS-style newlines on Unix machines, where the C library won't hide that
from us.

Hence, adjust parseServiceFile() to ignore \r as well as \n at the end of
the line.  In HEAD, go a little further and make it ignore all trailing
whitespace, to match what it's always done with leading whitespace.

In HEAD, also run around and fix up everyplace where we have
newline-chomping code to make all those places look consistent and
uniformly drop \r.  It is not clear whether any of those changes are
fixing live bugs.  Most of the non-cosmetic changes are in places that
are reading popen output, and the jury is still out as to whether popen
on Windows can return \r\n.  (The Windows-specific code in pipe_read_line
seems to think so, but our lack of support for this elsewhere suggests
maybe it's not a problem in practice.)  Hence, I desisted from applying
those changes to back branches, except in run_ssl_passphrase_command()
which is new enough and little-tested enough that we'd probably not have
heard about any problems there.

Tom Lane and Michael Paquier, per bug #15827 from Jorge Gustavo Rocha.
Back-patch the parseServiceFile() change to all supported branches,
and the run_ssl_passphrase_command() change to v11 where that was added.

Michael Paquier cfc40d384a Introduce safer encoding and decoding routines for base64.c
This is a follow-up refactoring after 09ec55b and b674211, which has
proved that the encoding and decoding routines used by SCRAM have a
poor interface when it comes to check after buffer overflows.  This adds
an extra argument in the shape of the length of the result buffer for
each routine, which is used for overflow checks when encoding or
decoding an input string.  The original idea comes from Tom Lane.

As a result of that, the encoding routine can now fail, so all its
callers are adjusted to generate proper error messages in case of
problems.

On failure, the result buffer gets zeroed.

Alvaro Herrera 313f56ce2d Tweak libpq's PQhost, PQhostaddr, and psql's \connect
Fixes some problems introduced by 6e5f8d489acc:

* When reusing conninfo data from the previous connection in \connect,
  the host address should only be reused if it was specified as
  hostaddr; if it wasn't, then 'host' is resolved afresh.  We were
  reusing the same IP address, which ignores a possible DNS change
  as well as any other addresses that the name resolves to than the
  one that was used in the original connection.

* PQhost, PQhostaddr: Don't present user-specified hostaddr when we have
  an inet_net_ntop-produced equivalent address.  The latter has been
  put in canonical format, which is cleaner (so it produces "127.0.0.1"
  when given "host=2130706433", for example).

Tom Lane 7640f93123 Fix assorted header files that failed to compile standalone.
We have a longstanding project convention that all .h files should
be includable with no prerequisites other than postgres.h.  This is
tested/relied-on by cpluspluscheck.  However, cpluspluscheck has not
historically been applied to most headers outside the src/include
tree, with the predictable consequence that some of them don't work.
Fix that, usually by adding missing #include dependencies.

The change in printf_hack.h might require some explanation: without
it, my C++ compiler whines that the function is unused.  There's
not so many call sites that "inline" is going to cost much, and
besides all the callers are in test code that we really don't care
about the size of.

There's no actual bugs being fixed here, so I see no need to back-patch.

Tom Lane fc9a62af3f Move logging.h and logging.c from src/fe_utils/ to src/common/.
The original placement of this module in src/fe_utils/ is ill-considered,
because several src/common/ modules have dependencies on it, meaning that
libpgcommon and libpgfeutils now have mutual dependencies.  That makes it
pointless to have distinct libraries at all.  The intended design is that
libpgcommon is lower-level than libpgfeutils, so only dependencies from
the latter to the former are acceptable.

We already have the precedent that fe_memutils and a couple of other
modules in src/common/ are frontend-only, so it's not stretching anything
out of whack to treat logging.c as a frontend-only module in src/common/.
To the extent that such modules help provide a common frontend/backend
environment for the rest of common/ to use, it's a reasonable design.
(logging.c does not yet provide an ereport() emulation, but one can
dream.)

Hence, move these files over, and revert basically all of the build-system
changes made by commit cc8d41511.  There are no places that need to grow
new dependencies on libpgcommon, further reinforcing the idea that this
is the right solution.

Tom Lane ddf927fb13 Fix misuse of an integer as a bool.
pgtls_read_pending is declared to return bool, but what the underlying
SSL_pending function returns is a count of available bytes.

This is actually somewhat harmless if we're using C99 bools, but in
the back branches it's a live bug: if the available-bytes count happened
to be a multiple of 256, it would get converted to a zero char value.
On machines where char is signed, counts of 128 and up could misbehave
as well.  The net effect is that when using SSL, libpq might block
waiting for data even though some has already been received.

Broken by careless refactoring in commit 4e86f1b16, so back-patch
to 9.5 where that came in.

Stephen Frost eb882a1b71 GSSAPI: Improve documentation and tests
The GSSAPI encryption patch neglected to update the protocol
documentation to describe how to set up a GSSAPI encrypted connection
from a client to the server, so fix that by adding the appropriate
documentation to protocol.sgml.

The tests added for encryption support were overly long and couldn't be
run in parallel due to race conditions; this was largely because each
test was setting up its own KDC to perform the tests.  Instead, merge
the authentication tests and the encryption tests into the original
test, where we only create one KDC to run the tests with.  Also, have
the tests check what the server's opinion is of the connection and if it
was GSS authenticated or encrypted using the pg_stat_gssapi view.

In passing, fix the libpq label for GSSENC-Mode to be consistent with
the "PGGSSENCMODE" environment variable.

Similarly to the set of parameters for keepalive, a connection parameter
for libpq is added as well as a backend GUC, called tcp_user_timeout.

Increasing the TCP user timeout is useful to allow a connection to
survive extended periods without end-to-end connection, and decreasing
it allows application to fail faster.  By default, the parameter is 0,
which makes the connection use the system default, and follows a logic
close to the keepalive parameters in its handling.  When connecting
through a Unix-socket domain, the parameters have no effect.

Stephen Frost c46c85d459 Handle errors during GSSAPI startup better
There was some confusion over the format of the error message returned
from the server during GSSAPI startup; specifically, it was expected
that a length would be returned when, in reality, at this early stage in
the startup sequence, no length is returned from the server as part of
an error message.

Correct the client-side code for dealing with error messages sent by the
server during startup by simply reading what's available into our
buffer, after we've discovered it's an error message, and then reporting
back what was returned.

In passing, also add in documentation of the environment variable
PGGSSENCMODE which was missed previously, and adjust the code to look
for the PGGSSENCMODE variable (the environment variable change was
missed in the prior GSSMODE -> GSSENCMODE commit).

Tom Lane 7bac3acab4 Add a "SQLSTATE-only" error verbosity option to libpq and psql.
This is intended for use mostly in test scripts for external tools,
which could do without cross-PG-version variations in error message
wording.  Of course, the SQLSTATE isn't guaranteed stable either, but
it should be more so than the error message text.

Note: there's a bit of an ABI change for libpq here, but it seems
OK because if somebody compiles against a newer version of libpq-fe.h,
and then tries to pass PQERRORS_SQLSTATE to PQsetErrorVerbosity()
of an older libpq library, it will be accepted and then act like
PQERRORS_DEFAULT, thanks to the way the tests in pqBuildErrorMessage3
have historically been phrased.  That seems acceptable.

Stephen Frost b0b39f72b9 GSSAPI encryption support
On both the frontend and backend, prepare for GSSAPI encryption
support by moving common code for error handling into a separate file.
Fix a TODO for handling multiple status messages in the process.
Eliminate the OIDs, which have not been needed for some time.

Add frontend and backend encryption support functions.  Keep the
context initiation for authentication-only separate on both the
frontend and backend in order to avoid concerns about changing the
requested flags to include encryption support.

In postmaster, pull GSSAPI authorization checking into a shared
function.  Also share the initiator name between the encryption and
non-encryption codepaths.

For HBA, add "hostgssenc" and "hostnogssenc" entries that behave
similarly to their SSL counterparts.  "hostgssenc" requires either
"gss", "trust", or "reject" for its authentication.

Similarly, add a "gssencmode" parameter to libpq.  Supported values are
"disable", "require", and "prefer".  Notably, negotiation will only be
attempted if credentials can be acquired.  Move credential acquisition
into its own function to support this behavior.

Add a simple pg_stat_gssapi view similar to pg_stat_ssl, for monitoring
if GSSAPI authentication was used, what principal was used, and if
encryption is being used on the connection.

Finally, add documentation for everything new, and update existing
documentation on connection security.

Thanks to Michael Paquier for the Windows fixes.

Peter Eisentraut cc8d415117 Unified logging system for command-line programs
This unifies the various ad hoc logging (message printing, error
printing) systems used throughout the command-line programs.

Features:

- Program name is automatically prefixed.

- Message string does not end with newline.  This removes a common
  source of inconsistencies and omissions.

- Additionally, a final newline is automatically stripped, simplifying
  use of PQerrorMessage() etc., another common source of mistakes.

- I converted error message strings to use %m where possible.

- As a result of the above several points, more translatable message
  strings can be shared between different components and between
  frontends and backend, without gratuitous punctuation or whitespace
  differences.

- There is support for setting a "log level".  This is not meant to be
  user-facing, but can be used internally to implement debug or
  verbose modes.

- Lazy argument evaluation, so no significant overhead if logging at
  some level is disabled.

- Some color in the messages, similar to gcc and clang.  Set
  PG_COLOR=auto to try it out.  Some colors are predefined, but can be
  customized by setting PG_COLORS.

- Common files (common/, fe_utils/, etc.) can handle logging much more
  simply by just using one API without worrying too much about the
  context of the calling program, requiring callbacks, or having to
  pass "progname" around everywhere.

- Some programs called setvbuf() to make sure that stderr is
  unbuffered, even on Windows.  But not all programs did that.  This
  is now done centrally.

Soft goals:

- Reduces vertical space use and visual complexity of error reporting
  in the source code.

- Encourages more deliberate classification of messages.  For example,
  in some cases it wasn't clear without analyzing the surrounding code
  whether a message was meant as an error or just an info.

- Concepts and terms are vaguely aligned with popular logging
  frameworks such as log4j and Python logging.

This is all just about printing stuff out.  Nothing affects program
flow (e.g., fatal exits).  The uses are just too varied to do that.
Some existing code had wrappers that do some kind of print-and-exit,
and I adapted those.

I tried to keep the output mostly the same, but there is a lot of
historical baggage to unwind and special cases to consider, and I
might not always have succeeded.  One significant change is that
pg_rewind used to write all error messages to stdout.  That is now
changed to stderr.
