elog.c has long had a private strerror wrapper that handles assorted
possible failures or deficiencies of the platform's strerror. On Windows,
it also knows how to translate Winsock error codes, which the native
strerror does not. Move all this code into src/port/strerror.c and
define strerror() as a macro that invokes it, so that both our frontend
and backend code will have all of this behavior.
I believe this constitutes an actual bug fix on Windows, since AFAICS
our frontend code did not report Winsock error codes properly before this.
However, the main point is to lay the groundwork for implementing %m
in src/port/snprintf.c: the behavior we want %m to have is this one,
not the native strerror's.
Note that this throws away the prior use of src/port/strerror.c,
which was to implement strerror() on platforms lacking it. That's
been dead code for nigh twenty years now, since strerror() was
already required by C89.
We should likewise cause strerror_r to use this behavior, but
I'll tackle that separately.

Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they
flow past the right margin.
By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are
within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding
left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the
continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin,
then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin,
if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of
the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations
unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column
limit.
This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers.
Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized
lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak.
The main changes visible in this commit are:
* Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations.
* No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts,
sizeof, or offsetof.
* No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as
well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers.
* Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely.
* Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed
with no space separating them from the code.
* Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels.
* Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less
than the expected column 33.
On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef
names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to
put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in
indent itself.
There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment
indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted
to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without
one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the
changes as much as practical.

Windows apparently will not detect socket write-ready events unless a
preceding send attempt returned WSAEWOULDBLOCK. In many usage patterns
that's satisfied by the caller of WaitEvenSetWait(), but not always.
Apply the same solution that we already had in pgwin32_select(), namely to
perform a dummy WSASend() call with len=0. This will return WSAEWOULDBLOCK
if there's no buffer space (even though it could legitimately do nothing
and report success, which makes me a bit nervous about this solution;
but since it's been working fine in libpq, let's roll with it).
In passing, improve the comments about this in pgwin32_select(), and remove
duplicated code there.
Back-patch to 9.6 where WaitEventSetWait() was introduced. We might need
to back-patch something similar into predecessor code. But given the lack
of complaints so far, it's not clear that the case ever gets exercised
in the back branches, so I'm not going to expend effort on it right now.
This should resolve recurring failures on buildfarm member bowerbird,
which has been failing since 1e8a85009 went in.

The coverage was rather lean for cases that bind() or listen() might
return. Add entries for everything that there's a direct equivalent
for in the set of Unix errnos that elog.c has heard of.
I've seen one too many "could not bind IPv4 socket: No error" log entries
from the Windows buildfarm members. Per previous discussion, this is
likely caused by the fact that we're doing nothing to translate
WSAGetLastError() to errno. Put in a wrapper layer to do that.
If this works as expected, it should get back-patched, but let's see what
happens in the buildfarm first.

Whenever this function is used with the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag,
it's good practice to include FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS as well.
Otherwise, if the message contains any %n insertion markers, the function
will try to fetch argument strings to substitute --- which we are not
passing, possibly leading to a crash. This is exactly analogous to the
rule about not giving printf() a format string you're not in control of.

Back-patch to all supported branches.
pgwin32_recv() has treated a non-error return of zero bytes from WSARecv()
as being a reason to block ever since the current implementation was
introduced in commit a4c40f140d23cefb. However, so far as one can tell
from Microsoft's documentation, that is just wrong: what it means is
graceful connection closure (in stream protocols) or receipt of a
zero-length message (in message protocols), and neither case should result
in blocking here. The only reason the code worked at all was that control
then fell into the retry loop, which did *not* treat zero bytes specially,
so we'd get out after only wasting some cycles. But as of 9.5 we do not
normally reach the retry loop and so the bug is exposed, as reported by
Shay Rojansky and diagnosed by Andres Freund.
Remove the unnecessary test on the byte count, and rearrange the code
in the retry loop so that it looks identical to the initial sequence.
Back-patch to 9.5. The code is wrong all the way back, AFAICS, but
since it's relatively harmless in earlier branches we'll leave it alone.
This return code is possible wherever we pass bAlertable = TRUE; it
arises when Windows caused the current thread to run an "I/O completion
routine" or an "asynchronous procedure call". PostgreSQL does not
provoke either of those Windows facilities, hence this bug remaining
largely unnoticed, but other local code might do so. Due to a shortage
of complaints, no back-patch for now.
Per report from Shiv Shivaraju Gowda, this bug can cause
PGSemaphoreLock() to PANIC. The bug can also cause select() to report
timeout expiration too early, which might confuse pgstat_init() and
CheckRADIUSAuth().
Previously, in some places, socket creation errors were checked for
negative values, which is not true for Windows because sockets are
unsigned. This masked socket creation errors on Windows.
Backpatch through 9.0. 8.4 doesn't have the infrastructure to fix this.
Make sure WaitLatchOrSocket regards FD_CLOSE as a read-ready condition.
We might want to tweak this further, but it was surely wrong as-is.
Make pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket detach its private event object from the
passed socket before returning. I suspect that failure to do so leads
to race conditions when other code (such as WaitLatchOrSocket) attaches
a different event object to the same socket. Moreover, the existing
coding meant that repeated calls to pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket would
perform ResetEvent on an event actively connected to a socket, which
is rumored to be an unsafe practice; the WSAEventSelect documentation
appears to recommend against this, though it does not say not to do it
in so many words.
Also, uniformly use the coding pattern "WSAEventSelect(s, NULL, 0)" to
detach events from sockets, rather than passing the event in the second
parameter. The WSAEventSelect documentation says that the second parameter
is ignored if the third is 0, so theoretically this should make no
difference. However, elsewhere on the same reference page the use of NULL
in this context is recommended, and I have found suggestions on the net
that some versions of Windows have bugs with a non-NULL second parameter
in this usage.
Some other mostly-cosmetic cleanup, such as using the right one of
WSAGetLastError and GetLastError for reporting errors from these functions.
than replication_timeout (a new GUC) milliseconds. The TCP timeout is often
too long, you want the master to notice a dead connection much sooner.
People complained about that in 9.0 too, but with synchronous replication
it's even more important to notice dead connections promptly.

It's only a limited implementation which swithes the whole emulation layer

1) pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket(): WaitForMultipleObjectsEx now called with
finite timeout (100ms) in case of FP_WRITE and UDP socket. If timeout occurs
then pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket() tries to write empty packet goes to
WaitForMultipleObjectsEx again.
2) pgwin32_send(): add loop around WSASend and pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket().
The reason is: for overlapped socket, 'ok' result from
pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket() isn't guarantee that socket is still free,
it can become busy again and following WSASend call will fail with
WSAEWOULDBLOCK error.
