Tom Lane 0d779d22a2 Convert tsginidx.c's GIN indexing logic to fully ternary operation.
Commit 2f2007fbb did this partially, but there were two remaining
warts.  checkcondition_gin handled some uncertain cases by setting
the out-of-band recheck flag, some by returning TS_MAYBE, and some
by doing both.  Meanwhile, TS_execute arbitrarily converted a
TS_MAYBE result to TS_YES.  Thus, if checkcondition_gin chose to
only return TS_MAYBE, the outcome would be TS_YES with no recheck
flag, potentially resulting in wrong query outputs.

The case where this'd happen is if there were GIN_MAYBE entries
in the indexscan results passed to gin_tsquery_[tri]consistent,
which so far as I can see would only happen if the tidbitmap used
to accumulate indexscan results grew large enough to become lossy.

I initially thought of fixing this by ensuring we always set the
recheck flag as well as returning TS_MAYBE in uncertain cases.
But that errs in the other direction, potentially forcing rechecks
of rows that provably match the query (since the recheck flag
remains set even if TS_execute later finds that the answer must be
TS_YES).  Instead, let's get rid of the out-of-band recheck flag
altogether and rely on returning TS_MAYBE.  This requires exporting
a version of TS_execute that will actually return the full ternary
result of the evaluation ... but we likely should have done that
to start with.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem practical to add a regression test case
that covers this: the amount of data needed to cause the GIN bitmap to
become lossy results in a longer runtime than I think we want to have
in the tests.  (I'm wondering about allowing smaller work_mem settings
to ameliorate that, but it'd be a matter for a separate patch.)

Per bug #16865 from Dimitri Nüscheler.  Back-patch to v13 where
the faulty commit came in.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
