Tom Lane bc77be7145 Harden postgres_fdw tests against unexpected cache flushes.
postgres_fdw will close its remote session if an sinval cache reset
occurs, since it's possible that that means some FDW parameters
changed.  We had two tests that were trying to ensure that the
session remains alive by setting debug_discard_caches = 0; but
that's not sufficient.  Even though the tests seem stable enough
in the buildfarm, they flap a lot under CI.

In the first test, which is checking the ability to recover from
a lost connection, we can stabilize the results by just not
caring whether pg_terminate_backend() finds a victim backend.
If a reset did happen, there won't be a session to terminate
anymore, but the test can proceed anyway.  (Arguably, we are
then not testing the unintentional-disconnect case, but as long
as that scenario is exercised in most runs I think it's fine;
testing the reset-driven case is of value too.)

In the second test, which is trying to verify the application_name
displayed in pg_stat_activity by a remote session, we had a race
condition in that the remote session might go away before we can
fetch its pg_stat_activity entry.  We can close that race and make
the test more certainly test what it intends to by arranging things
so that the remote session itself fetches its pg_stat_activity entry
(based on PID rather than a somewhat-circular assumption about the
application name).

Both tests now demonstrably pass under debug_discard_caches = 1,
so we can remove that hack.

Back-patch into relevant back branches.

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/.
