Andrew Dunstan 3311ea86ed Introduce a non-recursive JSON parser
This parser uses an explicit prediction stack, unlike the present
recursive descent parser where the parser state is represented on the
call stack. This difference makes the new parser suitable for use in
incremental parsing of huge JSON documents that cannot be conveniently
handled piece-wise by the recursive descent parser. One potential use
for this will be in parsing large backup manifests associated with
incremental backups.

Because this parser is somewhat slower than the recursive descent
parser, it  is not replacing that parser, but is an additional parser
available to callers.

For testing purposes, if the build is done with -DFORCE_JSON_PSTACK, all
JSON parsing is done with the non-recursive parser, in which case only
trivial regression differences in error messages should be observed.

README

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
