Tom Lane 78a843f119 Improve regex compiler's arc moving/copying logic.
The functions moveins(), copyins(), moveouts(), copyouts() are
required to preserve the invariant that there are no duplicate arcs in
the regex's NFA.  Spencer's original implementation of them was O(N^2)
since it checked separately for a match to each source arc.  In commit
579840ca0 I improved that by adding sort/merge logic to be used if
more than a few arcs are to be moved/copied.  However, I now realize
that that missed a bet.  At many call sites, the target state is newly
made and cannot have any existing in-arcs (respectively out-arcs)
that could be duplicates.  So spending any cycles at all on checking
for duplicates is wasted effort; in these cases we can just blindly
move/copy all the source arcs.  Add code paths to do that.

It turns out that for copyins()/copyouts(), *all* the call sites have
this property, making all the "improved" logic in them flat out
unreachable.  Perhaps we'll need the full capability again someday,
so I just #ifdef'd those paths out rather than removing them entirely.

In passing, add a few test cases to improve code coverage in this
area as well as in regc_locale.c/regc_pg_locale.c.

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
