Commit 534287403 invented SHARED_DEPENDENCY_INITACL entries in
pg_shdepend, but installed them only for non-owner roles mentioned
in a pg_init_privs entry. This turns out to be the wrong thing,
because there is nothing to cue REASSIGN OWNED to go and update
pg_init_privs entries when the object's ownership is reassigned.
That leads to leaving dangling entries in pg_init_privs, as
reported by Hannu Krosing. Instead, install INITACL entries for
all roles mentioned in pg_init_privs entries (except pinned roles),
and change ALTER OWNER to not touch them, just as it doesn't
touch pg_init_privs entries.
REASSIGN OWNED will now substitute the new owner OID for the old
in pg_init_privs entries. This feels like perhaps not quite the
right thing, since pg_init_privs ought to be a historical record
of the state of affairs just after CREATE EXTENSION. However,
it's hard to see what else to do, if we don't want to disallow
dropping the object's original owner. In any case this is
better than the previous do-nothing behavior, and we're unlikely
to come up with a superior solution in time for v17.
While here, tighten up some coding rules about how ACLs in
pg_init_privs should never be null or empty. There's not any
obvious reason to allow that, and perhaps asserting that it's
not so will catch some bugs. (We were previously inconsistent
on the point, with some code paths taking care not to store
empty ACLs and others not.)
This leaves recordExtensionInitPrivWorker not doing anything
with its ownerId argument, but we'll deal with that separately.
catversion bump forced because of change of expected contents
of pg_shdepend when pg_init_privs entries exist.

It used to check if the target server is connected to the primary
server (send required WAL) to rapidly react when the process won't
succeed. This code is not enough to guarantee that the recovery
process will complete. There is a window between the walreceiver
shutdown and the pg_is_in_recovery() returns false that can reach
NUM_CONN_ATTEMPTS attempts and fails.
Instead, rely only on the --recovery-timeout option to give up the
process after the specified number of seconds.
This should help with buildfarm failures on slow machines.

Commit 667e65aac3 changed both num_dead_tuples and max_dead_tuples
columns to dead_tuple_bytes and max_dead_tuple_bytes columns,
respectively. But as per discussion, the number of dead tuples
collected still provides meaningful insights for users.
This commit reintroduces the column for the count of dead tuples,
renamed as num_dead_item_ids. It avoids confusion with the number of
dead tuples removed by VACUUM, which includes dead heap-only tuples
but excludes any pre-existing LP_DEAD items left behind by
opportunistic pruning.

Commit f5e4dedfa exposed libpq's internal function PQsocketPoll
without a lot of thought about whether that was an API we really
wanted to chisel in stone. The main problem with it is the use of
time_t to specify the timeout. While we do want an absolute time
so that a loop around PQsocketPoll doesn't have problems with
timeout slippage, time_t has only 1-second resolution. That's
already problematic for libpq's own internal usage --- for example,
pqConnectDBComplete has long had a kluge to treat "connect_timeout=1"
as 2 seconds so that it doesn't accidentally round to nearly zero.
And it's even less likely to be satisfactory for external callers.
Hence, let's change this while we still can.
The best idea seems to be to use an int64 count of microseconds since
the epoch --- basically the same thing as the backend's TimestampTz,
but let's use the standard Unix epoch (1970-01-01) since that's more
likely for clients to be easy to calculate. Millisecond resolution
would be plenty for foreseeable uses, but maybe the day will come that
we're glad we used microseconds.
Also, since time(2) isn't especially helpful for computing timeouts
defined this way, introduce a new function PQgetCurrentTimeUSec
to get the current time in this form.
Remove the hack in pqConnectDBComplete, so that "connect_timeout=1"
now means what you'd expect.
We can also remove the "#include <time.h>" that f5e4dedfa added to
libpq-fe.h, since there's no longer a need for time_t in that header.
It seems better for v17 not to enlarge libpq-fe.h's include footprint
from what it's historically been, anyway.
I also failed to resist the temptation to do some wordsmithing
on PQsocketPoll's documentation.
Patch by me, per complaint from Dominique Devienne.

It wasn't in the documentation at all (even though we document all the
other debugging-like options). Also, change the --help output to show
that it exits after showing, similar to other options.
If the CALL is within an atomic context (e.g. there's an outer
transaction block), _SPI_execute_plan should acquire a fresh snapshot
to execute any such functions with. We failed to do that and instead
passed them the Portal snapshot, which had been acquired at the start
of the current SQL command. This'd lead to seeing stale values of
rows modified since the start of the command.
This is arguably a bug in 84f5c2908: I failed to see that "are we in
non-atomic mode" needs to be defined the same way as it is further
down in _SPI_execute_plan, i.e. check !_SPI_current->atomic not just
options->allow_nonatomic. Alternatively the blame could be laid on
plpgsql, which is unconditionally passing allow_nonatomic = true
for CALL/DO even when it knows it's in an atomic context. However,
fixing it in spi.c seems like a better idea since that will also fix
the problem for any extensions that may have copied plpgsql's coding
pattern.
While here, update an obsolete comment about _SPI_execute_plan's
snapshot management.

The formulas for SEMMNI and SEMMNS do not include the archiver
process, which was converted to an auxiliary process in v14, and
the WAL summarizer process, which was introduced in v17. This
commit corrects these formulas and adds a missing reference to
max_wal_senders nearby. Since this section of the documentation
tends to be incorrect quite often, we should likely give up on
documenting the exact formulas in favor of something less fragile,
but that is left as a future exercise.

When MERGE/SPLIT created new partitions, it was cloning the extended
statistics of the parent table.
However, extended stats on partitioned tables don't behave like
indexes on partitioned tables (which exist only to create physical
indexes on child tables). Rather, extended stats on a parent 1) cause
extended stats to be collected and computed across the whole partition
hierarchy, and 2) do not cause extended stats to be computed for the
individual partitions.
"CREATE TABLE ... PARTITION OF" command doesn't copy extended
statistics. This commit makes createPartitionTable() behave
consistently.

This reverts commit e1e83a71715f1c2f0717bb66e630ca3bda79b9c1.
Per further discussion on pgsql-release, we wish to ship beta1 with
that feature, and patch the bug, rather than shipping beta1 with
that feature reverted.
After further review, we want to move in the direction of always
quoting GUC names in error messages, rather than the previous (PG16)
wildly mixed practice or the intermittent (mid-PG17) idea of doing
this depending on how possibly confusing the GUC name is.
This commit applies appropriate quotes to (almost?) all mentions of
GUC names in error messages. It partially supersedes a243569bf65 and
8d9978a7176, which had moved things a bit in the opposite direction
but which then were abandoned in a partial state.

There were three problems with the sslnegotiation options:
1. The sslmode=prefer and sslnegotiation=requiredirect combination was
somewhat dangerous, as you might unintentionally fall back to
plaintext authentication when connecting to a pre-v17 server.
2. There was an asymmetry between 'postgres' and 'direct'
options. 'postgres' meant "try only traditional negotiation", while
'direct' meant "try direct first, and fall back to traditional
negotiation if it fails". That was apparent only if you knew that the
'requiredirect' mode also exists.
3. The "require" word in 'requiredirect' suggests that it's somehow
more strict or more secure, similar to sslmode. However, I don't
consider direct SSL connections to be a security feature.
To address these problems:
- Only allow sslnegotiation='direct' if sslmode='require' or
stronger. And for the record, Jacob and Robert felt that we should do
that (or have sslnegotiation='direct' imply sslmode='require') anyway,
regardless of the first issue.
- Remove the 'direct' mode that falls back to traditional negotiation,
and rename what was called 'requiredirect' to 'direct' instead. In
other words, there is no "try both methods" option anymore, 'postgres'
now means the traditional negotiation and 'direct' means a direct SSL
connection.
