Tom Lane 8b5055812c Don't use Asserts to check for violations of replication protocol.
Using an Assert to check the validity of incoming messages is an
extremely poor decision.  In a debug build, it should not be that easy
for a broken or malicious remote client to crash the logrep worker.
The consequences could be even worse in non-debug builds, which will
fail to make such checks at all, leading to who-knows-what misbehavior.
Hence, promote every Assert that could possibly be triggered by wrong
or out-of-order replication messages to a full test-and-ereport.

To avoid bloating the set of messages the translation team has to cope
with, establish a policy that replication protocol violation error
reports don't need to be translated.  Hence, all the new messages here
use errmsg_internal().  A couple of old messages are changed likewise
for consistency.

Along the way, fix some non-idiomatic or outright wrong uses of
hash_search().

Most of these mistakes are new with the "streaming replication"
patch (commit 464824323), but a couple go back a long way.
Back-patch as appropriate.

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/.
