Peter Eisentraut 5373bc2a08 Add background worker type
Add bgw_type field to background worker structure.  It is intended to be
set to the same value for all workers of the same type, so they can be
grouped in pg_stat_activity, for example.

The backend_type column in pg_stat_activity now shows bgw_type for a
background worker.  The ps listing also no longer calls out that a
process is a background worker but just show the bgw_type.  That way,
being a background worker is more of an implementation detail now that
is not shown to the user.  However, most log messages still refer to
'background worker "%s"'; otherwise constructing sensible and
translatable log messages would become tricky.

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/.
