Previously, we only dropped an orphan temp table when it became old enough to threaten wraparound; instead, doing it immediately. The only value of waiting is that someone might be able to examine the contents of the orphan temp table for forensic purposes, but it's pretty difficult to actually do that and few users will wish to do so. On the flip side, not performing the drop immediately generates log spam and bloats pg_class. In addition, per a report from Grigory Smolkin, if a temporary schema contains a very large number of temporary tables, a backend attempting to clear the temporary schema might fail due to lock table exhaustion. It's helpful for autovacuum to clean up after such cases, and we don't want it to wait for wraparound to threaten before doing so. To prevent autovacuum from failing in the same manner as a backend trying to drop an entire temp schema, remove orphan temp tables in batches of 50, committing after each batch, so that we don't accumulate an unbounded number of locks. If a drop fails, retry other orphan tables that need to be dropped up to 10 times before giving up. With this system, if a backend does fail to clean a temporary schema due to lock table exhaustion, autovacuum should hopefully put things right the next time it processes the database.
