Tom Lane e81e5741a6 Fix full text search to handle NOT above a phrase search correctly.
Queries such as '!(foo<->bar)' failed to find matching rows when
implemented as a GiST or GIN index search.  That's because of
failing to handle phrase searches as tri-valued when considering
a query without any position information for the target tsvector.
We can only say that the phrase operator might match, not that it
does match; and therefore its NOT also might match.  The previous
coding incorrectly inverted the approximate phrase result to
decide that there was certainly no match.

To fix, we need to make TS_phrase_execute return a real ternary result,
and then bubble that up accurately in TS_execute.  As long as we have
to do that anyway, we can simplify the baroque things TS_phrase_execute
was doing internally to manage tri-valued searching with only a bool
as explicit result.

For now, I left the externally-visible result of TS_execute as a plain
bool.  There do not appear to be any outside callers that need to
distinguish a three-way result, given that they passed in a flag
saying what to do in the absence of position data.  This might need
to change someday, but we wouldn't want to back-patch such a change.

Although tsginidx.c has its own TS_execute_ternary implementation for
use at upper index levels, that sadly managed to get this case wrong
as well :-(.  Fixing it is a lot easier fortunately.

Per bug #16388 from Charles Offenbacher.  Back-patch to 9.6 where
phrase search was introduced.

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
