This addresses some problems in the describe queries used for extended
statistics:
- Two schema qualifications for the text type were missing for \dX.
- The list of extended statistics listed for a table through \d was
ordered based on the object OIDs, but it is more consistent with the
other commands to order by namespace and then by object name.
- A couple of aliases were not used in \d. These are removed.
This is similar to commits 1f092a3 and 07f8a9e.

We disallow altering a column datatype within a regular table,
if the table's rowtype is used as a column type elsewhere,
because we lack code to go around and rewrite the other tables.
This restriction should apply to partitioned tables as well, but it
was not checked because ATRewriteTables and ATPrepAlterColumnType
were not on the same page about who should do it for which relkinds.

get_rel_sync_entry(), which is called each time a change needs to be
logically replicated, is a rather hot code path in the WAL sender
sending logical changes. This code path was doing a relcache access on
relkind and relpartition for each logical change, but we only need to
know this information when building or re-building the cached
information for a relation.
Some measurements prove that this is noticeable in perf profiles,
particularly when attempting to replicate changes from relations that
are not published as these cause less overhead in the WAL sender,
delaying further the replication of changes for relations that are
published.

fail an assertion that said bit is not set. Before SKIP LOCKED that was

Commit 4ace45677 failed to fix the problem fully, because the
same issue of attempting to fetch a non-returnable index column
can occur when rechecking the indexqual after using a lossy index
operator. Moreover, it broke EXPLAIN for such indexquals (which
indicates a gap in our test cases :-().
Revert the code changes of 4ace45677 in favor of adding a new field
to struct IndexOnlyScan, containing a version of the indexqual that
can be executed against the index-returned tuple without using any
non-returnable columns. (The restrictions imposed by check_index_only
guarantee this is possible, although we may have to recompute indexed
expressions.) Support construction of that during setrefs.c
processing by marking IndexOnlyScan.indextlist entries as resjunk
if they can't be returned, rather than removing them entirely.
(We could alternatively require setrefs.c to look up the IndexOptInfo
again, but abusing resjunk this way seems like a reasonably safe way
to avoid needing to do that.)
This solution isn't great from an API-stability standpoint: if there
are any extensions out there that build IndexOnlyScan structs directly,
they'll be broken in the next minor releases. However, only a very
invasive extension would be likely to do such a thing. There's no
change in the Path representation, so typical planner extensions
shouldn't have a problem.
As before, back-patch to all supported branches.

If an index has both returnable and non-returnable columns, and one of
the non-returnable columns is an expression using a Var that is in a
returnable column, then a query returning that expression could result
in an index-only scan plan that attempts to read the non-returnable
column, instead of recomputing the expression from the returnable
column as intended.
To fix, redefine the "indextlist" list of an IndexOnlyScan plan node
as containing null Consts in place of any non-returnable columns.
This solves the problem by preventing setrefs.c from falsely matching
to such entries. The executor is happy since it only cares about the
exposed types of the entries, and ruleutils.c doesn't care because a
correct plan won't reference those entries. I considered some other
ways to prevent setrefs.c from doing the wrong thing, but this way
seems good since (a) it allows a very localized fix, (b) it makes
the indextlist structure more compact in many cases, and (c) the
indextlist is now a more faithful representation of what the index AM
will actually produce, viz. nulls for any non-returnable columns.
This is easier to hit since we introduced included columns, but it's
possible to construct failing examples without that, as per the
added regression test. Hence, back-patch to all supported branches.

One code path related to this flavor of ALTER TABLE was checking that
the relation to detach has to be a normal table or a partitioned table,
which would fail if using the command with a different relation kind.
Views, sequences and materialized views cannot be part of a partition
tree, so these would cause the command to fail anyway, but the assertion
was triggered. Foreign tables can be part of a partition tree, and
again the assertion would have failed. The simplest solution is just to
remove this assertion, so as we get the same failure as the
non-concurrent code path.

edc2332 has introduced in vcregress.pl some control on the environment
variables LZ4, TAR and GZIP_PROGRAM to allow any TAP tests to be able
use those commands. This makes the settings more consistent with
src/Makefile.global.in, as the same default gets used for Make and MSVC
builds.
Each parameter can be changed in buildenv.pl, but as a default gets
assigned after loading buldenv.pl, it is not possible to unset any of
these, and using an empty value would not work with "||=" either. As
some environments may not have a compatible command in their PATH (tar
coming from MinGW is an issue, for one), this could break tests without
an exit path to bypass any failing test. This commit changes things so
as the default values for LZ4, TAR and GZIP_PROGRAM are assigned before
loading buildenv.pl, not after. This way, we keep the same amount of
compatibility as a GNU build with the same defaults, and it becomes
possible to unset any of those values.
While on it, this adds some documentation about those three variables in

REINDEX CONCURRENTLY run on a toast index or a toast relation could
corrupt the target indexes rebuilt, as a backend running in parallel
that manipulates toast values would directly release the lock on the
toast relation when its local operation is done, rather than releasing
the lock once the transaction that manipulated the toast values
committed.
The fix done here is simple: we now hold a ROW EXCLUSIVE lock on the
toast relation when saving or deleting a toast value until the
transaction working on them is committed, so as a concurrent reindex
happening in parallel would be able to wait for any activity and see any
new rows inserted (or deleted).
An isolation test is added to check after the case fixed here, which is
a bit fancy by design as it relies on allow_system_table_mods to rename
the toast table and its index to fixed names. This way, it is possible
to reindex them directly without any dependency on the OID of the
underlying relation. Note that this could not use a DO block either, as
REINDEX CONCURRENTLY cannot be run in a transaction block. The test is
backpatched down to 13, where it is possible, thanks to c4a7a39, to use
allow_system_table_mods in a test suite.

The emulation of fstat() in win32stat.c caused two issues with the
existing in-core callers, failing on EINVAL when using a stream as
argument:
- psql's \copy would crash when using a stream.
- pg_recvlogical would fail with -f -.
The tests in copyselect.sql from the main test suite covers the first
case, and there is a TAP test for the second case. However, in both
cases, as the standard streams are always redirected, automated tests
did not notice those issues, requiring a terminal on Windows to be
reproducible.
This issue has been introduced in bed9075, and the origin of the problem
is that GetFileInformationByHandle() does not work directly on streams,
so this commit adds an extra code path to emulate and return a set of
stats that match best with the reality. Note that redirected streams
rely on handles that can be queried with GetFileInformationByHandle(),
