Alvaro Herrera 82c83b3372 Fix logical_decoding_timelines test crashes
In the test_slot_timelines test module, we were abusing passing NULL
values which was received as zeroes in x86, but this breaks in ARM
(buildfarm member hamster) by crashing instead.  Fix the breakage by
marking these functions as STRICT; the InvalidXid value that was
previously implicit in NULL values (on x86 at least) can now be passed
as 0.  Failing to follow the fmgr protocol to check for NULLs beforehand
was causing ARM to fail, as evidenced by segmentation faults in
buildfarm member hamster.

In order to use the new functionality in the test script, use COALESCE
in the right spot to avoid forwarding NULL values.

This was diagnosed from the hamster crash by Craig Ringer, who also
proposed a different patch (checking for NULL values explicitely in the
C function code, and keeping the non-strictness in the C functions).
I decided to go with this approach instead.

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.

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

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

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

thread/
  A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
