This patch renames the sync_error_count column to sync_table_error_count
in the pg_stat_subscription_stats view. The new name makes the purpose
explicit now that a separate column exists to track sequence
synchronization errors.
Additionally, the column seq_sync_error_count is renamed to
sync_seq_error_count to maintain a consistent naming pattern, making it
easier for users to group, and query synchronization related counters.

This commit adds the missing default value descriptions for both options

The existing format of pg_dependencies uses a single-object JSON
structure, with each key value embedding all the knowledge about the
set attributes tracked, like:
{"1 => 5": 1.000000, "5 => 1": 0.423130}
While this is a very compact format, it is confusing to read and it is
difficult to manipulate the values within the object, particularly when
tracking multiple attributes.
The new output format introduced in this commit is a JSON array of
objects, with:
- A key named "degree", with a float value.
- A key named "attributes", with an array of attribute numbers.
- A key named "dependency", with an attribute number.
The values use the same underlying type as previously when printed, with
a new output format that shows now as follows:
[{"degree": 1.000000, "attributes": [1], "dependency": 5},
{"degree": 0.423130, "attributes": [5], "dependency": 1}]
This new format will become handy for a follow-up set of changes, so as
it becomes possible to inject extended statistics rather than require an
ANALYZE, like in a dump/restore sequence or after pg_upgrade on a new
cluster.
This format has been suggested by Tomas Vondra. The key names are
defined in the header introduced by 1f927cce44, to ease the
integration of frontend-specific changes that are still under
discussion. (Again a personal note: if anybody comes up with better
name for the keys, of course feel free.)
The bulk of the changes come from the regression tests, where
jsonb_pretty() is now used to make the outputs generated easier to
parse.

Backpatch-through: master
This reverts commit 1fd981f053, based on concerns that the logging
improvements do not justify the protocol breakage of dropping an unnamed
portal once its execution has completed.
It seems unlikely that one would try to send an execute or describe
message after the portal has been used, but if they do such
post-completion messages would not be able to process as the previous
versions. Let's revert this change for now so as we keep compatibility
and consider a different solution.
The tests added by 76bba03312 track the pre-1fd981f05369 behavior, and
are still valid.

Much of the "Replication Slot" chapter applies to physical and logical

patch clarified which parts of the text apply to which slot types.
This chapter is referenced from the logical slot/subscriber chapter, so
it needs to do double duty.

On the CREATE POLICY page, the "Policies Applied by Command Type"
table was missing MERGE ... THEN DELETE and some of the policies
applied during INSERT ... ON CONFLICT and MERGE. Fix that, and try to
improve readability by listing the various MERGE cases separately,
rather than together with INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. Mention COPY ... TO
along with SELECT, since it behaves in the same way. In addition,
document which policy violations cause errors to be thrown, and which
just cause rows to be silently ignored.
Also, a paragraph above the table states that INSERT ... ON CONFLICT
DO UPDATE only checks the WITH CHECK expressions of INSERT policies
for rows appended to the relation by the INSERT path, which is
incorrect -- all rows proposed for insertion are checked, regardless
of whether they end up being inserted. Fix that, and also mention that
the same applies to INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING.
In addition, in various other places on that page, clarify how the
different types of policy are applied to different commands, and
whether or not errors are thrown when policy checks do not pass.
Backpatch to all supported versions. Prior to v17, MERGE did not
support RETURNING, and so MERGE ... THEN INSERT would never check new
rows against SELECT policies. Prior to v15, MERGE was not supported at
all.

Previously, unnamed portals were kept until the next Bind message or the
end of the transaction. This could cause temporary files to persist
longer than expected and make logging not reflect the actual SQL
responsible for the temporary file.
This patch changes exec_execute_message() to drop unnamed portals
immediately after execution to completion at the end of an Execute
message, making their removal more aggressive. This forces temporary
file cleanups to happen at the same time as the completion of the portal
execution, with statement logging correctly reflecting to which
statements these temporary files were attached to (see the diffs in the
TAP test updated by this commit for an idea).
The documentation is updated to describe the lifetime of unnamed
portals, and test cases are updated to verify temporary file removal and
proper statement logging after unnamed portal execution. This changes
how unnamed portals are handled in the protocol, hence no backpatch is
done.

We have never had a SET syntax that allows setting a GUC_LIST_INPUT
parameter to be an empty list. A locution such as
SET search_path = '';
doesn't mean that; it means setting the GUC to contain a single item
that is an empty string. (For search_path the net effect is much the
same, because search_path ignores invalid schema names and '' must be
invalid.) This is confusing, not least because configuration-file
entries and the set_config() function can easily produce empty-list
values.
We considered making the empty-string syntax do this, but that would
foreclose ever allowing empty-string items to be valid in list GUCs.
While there isn't any obvious use-case for that today, it feels like
the kind of restriction that might hurt someday. Instead, let's
accept the forbidden-up-to-now value NULL and treat that as meaning an
empty list. (An objection to this could be "what if we someday want
to allow NULL as a GUC value?". That seems unlikely though, and even
if we did allow it for scalar GUCs, we could continue to treat it as
meaning an empty list for list GUCs.)

This new counter, called "wal_fpi_bytes", tracks the total amount in
bytes of full page images (FPIs) generated in WAL. This data becomes
available globally via pg_stat_wal, and for backend statistics via
pg_stat_get_backend_wal().
Previously, this information could only be retrieved with pg_waldump or
pg_walinspect, which may not be available depending on the environment,
and are expensive to execute. It offers hints about how much FPIs
impact the WAL generated, which could be a large percentage for some
workloads, as well as the effects of wal_compression or page holes.

This commit makes the way WAL segments are handled from the source to
the target server slightly smarter: the copy of the WAL segments is now
skipped if these have been created before the point where source and
target have diverged (the WAL segment where the point of divergence
exists is still copied), because we know that such segments exist on
both the target and source. Note that the on-disk size of the WAL
segments on the source and target need to match. Hence, only the
segments generated after the point of divergence are now copied. A
segment existing on the source but not the target is copied.
Previously, all the WAL segments were just copied in full. This change
can make the rewind operation cheaper in some configurations, especially
for setups where some WAL retention causes many segments to remain on
the source server even after the promotion of a standby used as source
to rewind a previous primary.
A TAP test is added to track these new behaviors. The file map printed
with --debug now includes all the information related to WAL segments,
to be able to track if these are copied or skipped, and the test relies
on the debug output generated.

This patch adds support for a new SQL command:
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH SEQUENCES
This command updates the sequence entries present in the
pg_subscription_rel catalog table with the INIT state to trigger
resynchronization.
In addition to the new command, the following subscription commands have
been enhanced to automatically refresh sequence mappings:
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... ADD PUBLICATION
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... DROP PUBLICATION
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... SET PUBLICATION
These commands will perform the following actions:
Add newly published sequences that are not yet part of the subscription.
Remove sequences that are no longer included in the publication.
This ensures that sequence replication remains aligned with the current
state of the publication on the publisher side.
Note that the actual synchronization of sequence data/values will be
handled in a subsequent patch that introduces a dedicated sequence sync
worker.
