Tom Lane 561885db05 Improve error handling in RemovePgTempFiles().
Modify this function and its subsidiaries so that syscall failures are
reported via ereport(LOG), rather than silently ignored as before.
We don't want to throw a hard ERROR, as that would prevent database
startup, and getting rid of leftover temporary files is not important
enough for that.  On the other hand, not reporting trouble at all
seems like an odd choice not in line with current project norms,
especially since any failure here is quite unexpected.

On the same reasoning, adjust these functions' AllocateDir/ReadDir calls
so that failure to scan a directory results in LOG not ERROR.  I also
removed the previous practice of silently ignoring ENOENT failures during
directory opens --- there are some corner cases where that could happen
given a previous database crash, but that seems like a bad excuse for
ignoring a condition that isn't expected in most cases.  A LOG message
during postmaster start seems OK in such situations, and better than
no output at all.

In passing, make RemovePgTempRelationFiles' test for "is the file name
all digits" look more like the way it's done elsewhere.

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
