Robert Haas 6270ee4450 Rethink the delay-checkpoint-end mechanism in the back-branches.
The back-patch of commit bbace5697d had
the unfortunate effect of changing the layout of PGPROC in the
back-branches, which could break extensions. This happened because it
changed the delayChkpt from type bool to type int. So, change it back,
and add a new bool delayChkptEnd field instead. The new field should
fall within what used to be padding space within the struct, and so
hopefully won't cause any extensions to break.

Per report from Markus Wanner and discussion with Tom Lane and others.

Patch originally by me, somewhat revised by Markus Wanner per a
suggestion from Michael Paquier. A very similar patch was developed
by Kyotaro Horiguchi, but I failed to see the email in which that was
posted before writing one of my own.

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/.
