Commit 151c0c5f7 neglected the possibility that a TEMP_CONFIG file
would explicitly set max_wal_senders=0; as indeed buildfarm member
thorntail does, so that it can test wal_level=minimal in other test
suites. Hence, rather than assuming that max_wal_senders=10 will
prevail if we say nothing, set it explicitly.
Set max_replication_slots=10 explicitly too, just to be safe.
Back-patch to v10, like the previous patch.

PostgresNode.pm set "max_wal_senders = 5" for replication testing,
but this seems to be slightly too low for our current test suite.
Slower buildfarm members frequently report "number of requested standby
connections exceeds max_wal_senders" failures, due to old walsenders
not exiting instantaneously. Usually, the test does not fail overall
because of automatic walreceiver restart, but sometimes the failure
becomes visible; and in any case such retries slow down the test.
That value came in with commit 89ac7004d, but was soon obsoleted by
f6d6d2920, which raised the built-in default from zero to 10; so that
PostgresNode.pm is actually setting it to less than the conservative
built-in default. That seems pretty pointless, so let's remove the
special setting and let the default prevail, in hopes of making
the TAP tests more robust.
Likewise, the setting "max_replication_slots = 5" is obsolete and
can be removed.
While here, reverse-engineer a comment about why we're choosing
less-than-default values for some other settings.
(Note: before v12, max_wal_senders counted against max_connections
so that the latter setting also needs some fiddling with.)
Back-patch to v10 where the subscription tests were added.
It's likely that the older branches aren't pushing the boundaries
of max_wal_senders, but I'm disinclined to spend time trying to
figure out exactly when it started to be a problem.

Reuse cautionary language from src/test/ssl/README in

Windows has junction points which function as symbolic links for
directories. This patch introduces a new function TestLib::dir_symlink()
which creates a junction point on Windows and a standard Unix type
symbolic link elsewhere.
The function TestLib::perl2host is also modified, first to use cygpath
where it's available (e.g. msys2) and second to allow it to succeed if
the gandparent directory exists but the parent does not.
Given these changes the only symlink tests that need to be skipped on
Windows are those related to permissions or to use of readlink. The
relevant tests for pg_basebackup and pg_rewind are therefore adjusted
accordingly.

The previous approach was to search-and-destroy all \r occurrences

else; indeed it seems to be hiding one now. Fix things so that
we only transform \r\n to \n.
Side effects: must do this before, not after, chomp'ing if we're
going to chomp, else we'd fail to clean up a trailing \r\n. Also,
remove safe_psql's redundant repetition of what psql already did;

Up to now, psql's tab-complete.c has had exactly no regression test
coverage. This patch is an experimental attempt to add some.
This needs Perl's IO::Pty module, which isn't installed everywhere,
so the test script just skips all tests if that's not present.
There may be other portability gotchas too, so I await buildfarm
results with interest.
So far this just covers a few very basic keyword-completion and
query-driven-completion scenarios, which should be enough to let us
get a feel for whether this is practical at all from a portability
standpoint. If it is, there's lots more that can be done.

This commit revert the commits to add a test case that tests the 'force'
option when there is an active backend connected to the database being
dropped.
This feature internally sends SIGTERM to all the backends connected to the
database being dropped and then the same is reported to the client. We
found that on Windows, the client end of the socket is not able to read
the data once we close the socket in the server which leads to loss of
error message which is not what we expect. We also observed similar
behavior in other cases like pg_terminate_backend(),
pg_ctl kill TERM <pid>. There are probably a few others like that. The
fix for this requires further study.

src/test/kerberos and src/test/ldap need to run a private authentication
server of the relevant type, for which they need a free TCP port.
They were just picking a random port number in 48K-64K, which works
except when something's already using the particular port. Notably,
the probability of failure rises dramatically if one simply runs those
tests in a tight loop, because each test cycle leaves behind a bunch of
high ports that are transiently in TIME_WAIT state.
To fix, split out the code that PostgresNode.pm already had for
identifying a free TCP port number, so that it can be invoked to choose
a port for the KDC or LDAP server. This isn't 100% bulletproof, since
conceivably something else on the machine could grab the port between
the time we check and the time we actually start the server. But that's
a pretty short window, so in practice this should be good enough.

Up to now the tests of pg_rewind have been using a superuser for all its
tests (which is the default of many tests actually, and something that
ought to be reviewed) when involving an online source server, still it
is possible to use a non-superuser role to do that as long as this role
is granted permissions to execute all the source-side functions used for
the rewind. This is possible since v11, and was already documented as
of bfc8068.
PostgresNode::init is extended so as callers of this routine can add
extra options to configure the authentication of a new node, which gets
used by this commit, and allows the tests to work properly on Windows
where SSPI is used.
This will allow to catch up easily any change in pg_rewind if the tool
begins to use more backend-side functions, so as the properties
introduced by v11 are kept.

This unifies the various ad hoc logging (message printing, error
printing) systems used throughout the command-line programs.
Features:
- Program name is automatically prefixed.
- Message string does not end with newline. This removes a common
source of inconsistencies and omissions.
- Additionally, a final newline is automatically stripped, simplifying
use of PQerrorMessage() etc., another common source of mistakes.
- I converted error message strings to use %m where possible.
- As a result of the above several points, more translatable message
strings can be shared between different components and between
frontends and backend, without gratuitous punctuation or whitespace
differences.
- There is support for setting a "log level". This is not meant to be
user-facing, but can be used internally to implement debug or
verbose modes.
- Lazy argument evaluation, so no significant overhead if logging at
some level is disabled.
- Some color in the messages, similar to gcc and clang. Set
PG_COLOR=auto to try it out. Some colors are predefined, but can be
customized by setting PG_COLORS.
- Common files (common/, fe_utils/, etc.) can handle logging much more
simply by just using one API without worrying too much about the
context of the calling program, requiring callbacks, or having to
pass "progname" around everywhere.
- Some programs called setvbuf() to make sure that stderr is
unbuffered, even on Windows. But not all programs did that. This
is now done centrally.
Soft goals:
- Reduces vertical space use and visual complexity of error reporting
in the source code.
- Encourages more deliberate classification of messages. For example,
in some cases it wasn't clear without analyzing the surrounding code
whether a message was meant as an error or just an info.
- Concepts and terms are vaguely aligned with popular logging
frameworks such as log4j and Python logging.
This is all just about printing stuff out. Nothing affects program
flow (e.g., fatal exits). The uses are just too varied to do that.
Some existing code had wrappers that do some kind of print-and-exit,
and I adapted those.
I tried to keep the output mostly the same, but there is a lot of
historical baggage to unwind and special cases to consider, and I
might not always have succeeded. One significant change is that
pg_rewind used to write all error messages to stdout. That is now
changed to stderr.

When libpq is loaded in the server (for instance, by
libpqwalreceiver), it may use libpq environment variables set in the
postmaster environment for connection parameter defaults. This has
some confusing effects in our test suites. For example, the TAP test
infrastructure sets PGAPPNAME to allow identifying clients in the
server log. But this environment variable is also inherited by
temporary servers started with pg_ctl and is then in turn used by
libpqwalreceiver as the application_name for connecting to remote
servers where it then shows up in pg_stat_replication and is relevant
for things like synchronous_standby_names. Replication already has a
suitable default for application_name, and overriding that
accidentally then requires the individual test cases to re-override
that, which is all very confusing and unnecessary.
To fix, unset PGAPPNAME temporarily before running pg_ctl start or
restart in the tests.
More comprehensive approaches like unsetting all environment variables
in pg_ctl were considered but might be too complicated to achieve
portably.
The now unnecessary re-overriding of application_name by test cases is
also removed.
