Tom Lane ac9099fc1d Fix confusion in SP-GiST between attribute type and leaf storage type.
According to the documentation, the attType passed to the opclass
config function (and also relied on by the core code) is the type
of the heap column or expression being indexed.  But what was
actually being passed was the type stored for the index column.
This made no difference for user-defined SP-GiST opclasses,
because we weren't allowing the STORAGE clause of CREATE OPCLASS
to be used, so the two types would be the same.  But it's silly
not to allow that, seeing that the built-in poly_ops opclass
has a different value for opckeytype than opcintype, and that if you
want to do lossy storage then the types must really be different.
(Thus, user-defined opclasses doing lossy storage had to lie about
what type is in the index.)  Hence, remove the restriction, and make
sure that we use the input column type not opckeytype where relevant.

For reasons of backwards compatibility with existing user-defined
opclasses, we can't quite insist that the specified leafType match
the STORAGE clause; instead just add an amvalidate() warning if
they don't match.

Also fix some bugs that would only manifest when trying to return
index entries when attType is different from attLeafType.  It's not
too surprising that these have not been reported, because the only
usual reason for such a difference is to store the leaf value
lossily, rendering index-only scans impossible.

Add a src/test/modules module to exercise cases where attType is
different from attLeafType and yet index-only scan is supported.

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
