Alexander Korotkov f9e66f2fbb Fix past pd_upper write in ginRedoRecompress()
ginRedoRecompress() replays actions over compressed segments of posting list
in-place.  However, it might lead to write past pg_upper, because intermediate
state during playing the changes can take more space than both original state
and final state.  This commit fixes that by refuse from in-place modification.
Instead page tail is copied once modification is started, and then it's used
as the source of original segments.  Backpatch to 9.4 where posting list
compression was introduced.

and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

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.
