Peter Geoghegan d088ba5a5a nbtree: Allocate new pages in separate function.
Split nbtree's _bt_getbuf function is two: code that read locks or write
locks existing pages remains in _bt_getbuf, while code that deals with
allocating new pages is moved to a new, dedicated function called
_bt_allocbuf.  This simplifies most _bt_getbuf callers, since it is no
longer necessary for them to pass a heaprel argument.  Many of the
changes to nbtree from commit 61b313e4 can be reverted.  This minimizes
the divergence between HEAD/PostgreSQL 16 and earlier release branches.

_bt_allocbuf replaces the previous nbtree idiom of passing P_NEW to
_bt_getbuf.  There are only 3 affected call sites, all of which continue
to pass a heaprel for recovery conflict purposes.  Note that nbtree's
use of P_NEW was superficial; nbtree never actually relied on the P_NEW
code paths in bufmgr.c, so this change is strictly mechanical.

GiST already took the same approach; it has a dedicated function for
allocating new pages called gistNewBuffer().  That factor allowed commit
61b313e4 to make much more targeted changes to GiST.

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
