Andres Freund 28afff347a Preserve required !catalog tuples while computing initial decoding snapshot.
The logical decoding machinery already preserved all the required
catalog tuples, which is sufficient in the course of normal logical
decoding, but did not guarantee that non-catalog tuples were preserved
during computation of the initial snapshot when creating a slot over
the replication protocol.

This could cause a corrupted initial snapshot being exported.  The
time window for issues is usually not terribly large, but on a busy
server it's perfectly possible to it hit it.  Ongoing decoding is not
affected by this bug.

To avoid increased overhead for the SQL API, only retain additional
tuples when a logical slot is being created over the replication
protocol.  To do so this commit changes the signature of
CreateInitDecodingContext(), but it seems unlikely that it's being
used in an extension, so that's probably ok.

In a drive-by fix, fix handling of
ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin's already_locked argument, which
should only apply to ProcArrayLock, not ReplicationSlotControlLock.

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:

	http://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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
