David Rowley 9d36b883bf Disable run condition optimization for some WindowFuncs
94985c210 added code to detect when WindowFuncs were monotonic and
allowed additional quals to be "pushed down" into the subquery to be
used as WindowClause runConditions in order to short-circuit execution
in nodeWindowAgg.c.

The Node representation of runConditions wasn't well selected and
because we do qual pushdown before planning the subquery, the planning
of the subquery could perform subquery pull-up of nested subqueries.
For WindowFuncs with args, the arguments could be changed after pushing
the qual down to the subquery.

This was made more difficult by the fact that the code duplicated the
WindowFunc inside an OpExpr to include in the WindowClauses runCondition
field.  This could result in duplication of subqueries and a pull-up of
such a subquery could result in another initplan parameter being issued
for the 2nd version of the subplan.  This could result in errors such as:

ERROR:  WindowFunc not found in subplan target lists

Here in the backbranches, we don't have the flexibility to improve the
Node representation to resolve this, so instead we just disable the
runCondition optimization for ntile() unless the argument is a Const,
(v16 only) and likewise for count(expr) (both v15 and v16).  count(*) is
unaffected.  All other window functions which support this optimization
all take zero arguments and therefore are unaffected.

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
