The testclient and uri-regress programs in the libpq test suite had
quite generic names which didn't convey much meaning. Since they are
installed as part of the MSVC test runs, ensure that their purpose
is a little bit clearer by renaming with a libpq_ prefix. While at
it rename uri-regress to uri_regress to avoid mixing dash and under-
score in the same filename.

The tests added in 9f8a050f68d failed nearly reliably on FreeBSD in CI, and
occasionally on the buildfarm. That turns out to be caused not by a bug in the
test, but by a longstanding bug in recovery conflict handling.
The standby timeout handler, used by ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin(),
executed SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin() inside a signal handler. A bad
idea, because the deadlock timeout handler (or a spurious latch set) could
have interrupted ProcWaitForSignal(). If unlucky that could cause a
self-deadlock on ProcArrayLock, if the deadlock check is in
SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin()->CancelDBBackends().
To fix, set a flag in StandbyTimeoutHandler(), and check the flag in
ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin().
Subsequently the recovery conflict tests will be backpatched.

Instability in the test for pg_walinspect revealed that
pg_get_wal_records_info_till_end_of_wal(x) would try to decode all the
records with a start LSN earlier than the flush LSN, even though that
might include a partial record at the end of the range. In that case,
read_local_xlog_page_no_wait() would return NULL when it tried to read
past the flush LSN, which would be interpreted as an error by the
caller. That caused a test failure only on a BF animal that had been
restarted recently, but could be expected to happen in the wild quite
easily depending on the alignment of various parameters.
Fix by using private data in read_local_xlog_page_no_wait() to signal
end-of-wal to the caller, so that it can be properly distinguished
from a real error.

I noticed that plpgsql would allow assignment of a new value to a
variable even when that variable is marked CONSTANT, if the variable
is used as an output parameter in CALL or is a refcursor variable
that OPEN assigns a new value to. Fix these oversights.
In the CALL case, the check has to be done at runtime because we
cannot know at parse time which parameters are OUT parameters.
For OPEN, it seems best to likewise enforce at runtime because
then we needn't throw error if the variable has a nonnull value
(since OPEN will only try to overwrite a null value).
Although this is surely a bug fix, no back-patch: it seems unlikely
that anyone would thank us for breaking formerly-working code in
minor releases.

mark_async_capable_plan(), which is called from create_append_plan() to
determine whether subplans are async-capable, failed to take into
account that the given subplan created from a given subpath might
include a gating Result node if the subpath is a SubqueryScanPath or
ForeignPath, causing a segmentation fault there when the subplan created
from a SubqueryScanPath includes the Result node, or causing
ExecAsyncRequest() to throw an error about an unrecognized node type
when the subplan created from a ForeignPath includes the Result node,
because in the latter case the Result node was unintentionally
considered as async-capable, but we don't currently support executing
Result nodes asynchronously. Fix by modifying mark_async_capable_plan()
to disable asynchronous execution in such cases. Also, adjust code in
the ProjectionPath case in mark_async_capable_plan(), for consistency
with other cases, and adjust/improve comments there.

This reverts commits 2c902bb and ccfbd92. Per buildfarm members
kestrel, rorqual and calliphoridae, the assertions checking that a TLI
history file should not exist when created by a WAL receiver have been

durable_rename_excl() attempts to avoid overwriting any existing files
by using link() and unlink(), falling back to rename() on some platforms
(e.g., Windows where link() followed by unlink() is not concurrent-safe,
see 909b449). Most callers of durable_rename_excl() use it just in case
there is an existing file, but it happens that for all of them we never
expect a target file to exist (WAL segment recycling, creation of
timeline history file and basic_archive).
basic_archive used durable_rename_excl() to avoid overwriting an archive
concurrently created by another server. Now, there is a stat() call to
avoid overwriting an existing archive a couple of lines above, so note
that this change opens a small TOCTOU window in this module between the
stat() call and durable_rename().
Furthermore, as mentioned in the top comment of durable_rename_excl(),
this routine can result in multiple hard links to the same file and data
corruption, with two or more links to the same file in pg_wal/ if a
crash happens before the unlink() call during WAL recycling.
Specifically, this would produce links to the same file for the current
WAL file and the next one because the half-recycled WAL file was
re-recycled during crash recovery of a follow-up cluster restart.
This change replaces all calls to durable_rename_excl() with
durable_rename(). This removes the protection against accidentally
overwriting an existing file, but some platforms are already living
without it, and all those code paths never expect an existing file (a
couple of assertions are added to check after that, in case).
This is a bug fix, but knowing the unlikeliness of the problem involving
one of more crashes at an exceptionally bad moment, no backpatch is
done. This could be revisited in the future.

This commit adds two isolation tests for CLUSTER, using:
- A normal table, making sure that CLUSTER blocks and completes if the
table is locked by a concurrent session.
- A partitioned table with a partition owned by a different user. If
the partitioned table is locked by a concurrent session, CLUSTER on the
partitioned table should block. If the partition owned by a different
user is locked, CLUSTER on its partitioned table should complete and
skip the partition. 3f19e17 has added an early check to ignore such a
partition with a SQL regression test, but this was not checking that
CLUSTER should not block.

Another test is constructed on top of regression tests, which does not
work correctly with unlogged tables. For now, cope with that by making
sure no unlogged table is left behind.
Per buildfarm pink after 4fb5c794e586.
Several places didn't do it, and in many cases it didn't matter because
it would be a small allocation in a short-lived context; but other
places may accumulate a few (for example, in CreateDatabaseUsingFileCopy,
one per tablespace). In most databases this is highly unlikely to be
very serious either, but it seems better to make the code consistent in
case there's future copy-and-paste.
The only case of actual concern seems to be the aforementioned routine,
which is new with commit 9c08aea6a309, so there's no need to backpatch.
As pointed out by Coverity.
This function looks for a reference to the recursive WITH CTE,
but it checked only the CTE name not ctelevelsup, so that it could
seize on a lower CTE that happened to have the same name. This
would result in planner failures later, either weird errors such as
"could not find attribute 2 in subquery targetlist", or crashes
or assertion failures. The code also merely Assert'ed that it found
a matching entry, which is not guaranteed at all by the parser.

697492434 added 3 new qsort specialization functions aimed to improve the
performance of sorting many of the common pass-by-value data types when
they're the leading or only sort key.
Unfortunately, that has caused a performance regression when sorting
datasets where many of the values being compared were equal. What was
happening here was that we were falling back to the standard sort
comparison function to handle tiebreaks. When the two given Datums
compared equally we would incur both the overhead of an indirect function
call to the standard comparer to perform the tiebreak and also the
standard comparer function would go and compare the leading key needlessly
all over again.
Here improve the situation in the 3 new comparison functions. We now
return 0 directly when the two Datums compare equally and we're performing
a 1-key sort.
Here we don't do anything to help the multi-key sort case where the
leading key uses one of the sort specializations functions. On testing
this case, even when the leading key's values are all equal, there
appeared to be no performance regression. Let's leave it up to future
work to optimize that case so that the tiebreak function no longer
re-compares the leading key over again.
Another possible fix for this would have been to add 3 additional sort
specialization functions to handle single-key sorts for these
pass-by-value types. The reason we didn't do that here is that we may
deem some other sort specialization to be more useful than single-key
sorts. It may be impractical to have sort specialization functions for
every single combination of what may be useful and it was already decided
that further analysis into which ones are the most useful would be delayed
until the v16 cycle. Let's not let this regression force our hand into
trying to make that decision for v15.

inline_cte() expected to find exactly as many references to the
target CTE as its cterefcount indicates. While that should be
accurate for the tree as emitted by the parser, there are some
optimizations that occur upstream of here that could falsify it,
notably removal of unused subquery output expressions.
Trying to make the accounting 100% accurate seems expensive and
doomed to future breakage. It's not really worth it, because
all this code is protecting is downstream assumptions that every
referenced CTE has a plan. Let's convert those assertions to
regular test-and-elog just in case there's some actual problem,

Commit 618c16707 invented an "error_result" flag in PGconn, which
intends to represent the state that we have an error condition and
need to build a PGRES_FATAL_ERROR PGresult from the message text in
conn->errorMessage, but have not yet done so. (Postponing construction
of the error object simplifies dealing with out-of-memory conditions
and with concatenation of messages for multiple errors.) For nearly all
purposes, this "virtual" PGresult object should act the same as if it
were already materialized. But a couple of places in fe-protocol3.c
didn't get that memo, and were only testing conn->result as they used
to, without also checking conn->error_result.
In hopes of reducing the probability of similar mistakes in future,
I invented a pgHavePendingResult() macro that includes both tests.

Commit aa0105141 assigned fixed OIDs to template0 and postgres
in a very ad-hoc way. Notably, instead of teaching Catalog.pm
about these OIDs, the unused_oids script was just hacked to
not show them as unused. That's problematic since, for example,
duplicate_oids wouldn't report any future conflict. Hence,
invent a macro DECLARE_OID_DEFINING_MACRO() that can be used to
define an OID that is known to Catalog.pm and will participate
in duplicate-detection as well as renumbering by renumber_oids.pl.
(We don't anticipate renumbering these particular OIDs, but we
might as well build out all the Catalog.pm infrastructure while
we're here.)
Another issue is that aa0105141 neglected to touch IsPinnedObject,
with the result that it now claimed template0 and postgres are
pinned. The right thing to do there seems to be to teach it that
no database is pinned, since in fact DROP DATABASE doesn't check
for pinned-ness (and at least for these cases, that is an
intentional choice). It's not clear whether this wrong answer
had any visible effect, but perhaps it could have resulted in
erroneous management of dependency entries.
In passing, rename the TemplateDbOid macro to Template1DbOid
to reduce confusion (likely we should have done that way back
when we invented template0, but we didn't), and rename the
OID macros for template0 and postgres to have a similar style.

CLUSTER sort won't use the datum1 SortTuple field when clustering

psql, pg_dump, and pg_amcheck share code to process object name
patterns like 'foo*.bar*' to match all tables with names starting in
'bar' that are in schemas starting with 'foo'. Before v14, any number
of extra name parts were silently ignored, so a command line '\d
foo.bar.baz.bletch.quux' was interpreted as '\d bletch.quux'. In v14,
as a result of commit 2c8726c4b0a496608919d1f78a5abc8c9b6e0868, we
instead treated this as a request for table quux in a schema named
'foo.bar.baz.bletch'. That caused problems for people like Justin
Pryzby who were accustomed to copying strings of the form
db.schema.table from messages generated by PostgreSQL itself and using
them as arguments to \d.
Accordingly, revise things so that if an object name pattern contains
more parts than we're expecting, we throw an error, unless there's
exactly one extra part and it matches the current database name.
That way, thisdb.myschema.mytable is accepted as meaning just
