Andres Freund 352d297dc7 dshash: Add sequential scan support.
Add ability to scan all entries sequentially to dshash. The interface is
similar but a bit different both from that of dynahash and simple dshash
search functions. The most significant differences is that dshash's interfac
always needs a call to dshash_seq_term when scan ends. Another is
locking. Dshash holds partition lock when returning an entry,
dshash_seq_next() also holds lock when returning an entry but callers
shouldn't release it, since the lock is essential to continue a scan. The
seqscan interface allows entry deletion while a scan is in progress using
dshash_delete_current().

This directory contains a general purpose data structures, for use anywhere
in the backend:

binaryheap.c - a binary heap

bipartite_match.c - Hopcroft-Karp maximum cardinality algorithm for bipartite graphs

bloomfilter.c - probabilistic, space-efficient set membership testing

dshash.c - concurrent hash tables backed by dynamic shared memory areas

hyperloglog.c - a streaming cardinality estimator

ilist.c - single and double-linked lists

integerset.c - a data structure for holding large set of integers

knapsack.c - knapsack problem solver

pairingheap.c - a pairing heap

rbtree.c - a red-black tree

stringinfo.c - an extensible string type


Aside from the inherent characteristics of the data structures, there are a
few practical differences between the binary heap and the pairing heap. The
binary heap is fully allocated at creation, and cannot be expanded beyond the
allocated size. The pairing heap on the other hand has no inherent maximum
size, but the caller needs to allocate each element being stored in the heap,
while the binary heap works with plain Datums or pointers.

The linked-lists in ilist.c can be embedded directly into other structs, as
opposed to the List interface in nodes/pg_list.h.
