This reverts commits 0147fc7, 4567596, aa64f23, and 5ecd018.
There is no longer agreement that introducing this function
was the right way to address the problem. The consensus now
seems to favor trying to make a correct value for MaxBackends
available to mdules executing their _PG_init() functions.

Enforce __pg_log_level message filtering centrally in logging.c,
instead of relying on the calling macros to do it. This is more
reliable (e.g. it works correctly for direct calls to pg_log_generic)
and it saves a percent or so of total code size because we get rid of
so many duplicate checks of __pg_log_level.
This does mean that argument expressions in a logging macro will be
evaluated even if we end up not printing anything. That seems of
little concern for INFO and higher levels as those messages are printed
by default, and most of our frontend programs don't even offer a way to
turn them off. I left the unlikely() checks in place for DEBUG
messages, though.

Commit 3804539e4 neglected to update the documentation's claim that
random() uses a "linear congruential algorithm". In hopes of avoiding
the same mistake if someone replaces our PRNG again, just say it's a
deterministic pseudo-random number generator and leave it at that.
Anybody who really wants to know can look in the source code.
COMPATIBILITY NOTE FOR RELEASE NOTES: 3804539e4's commit message
really should have mentioned that the random() sequence after
setseed(), while still repeatable, will differ from what you got
in pre-v15 releases.

The same structure, with the same set of elements (for none, lz4, gzip
and zstd), exists in compression.h, so let's make use of the centralized
version instead of duplicating things. Some of the variables used
previously for WalCompressionMethod are renamed to stick better with the
new structure and routine names.
WalCompressionMethod was leading to some confusion in walmethods.c, as
it was sometimes used to refer to some data unrelated to WAL.

We were setting MERGE source subplan's targetlist by expanding the
individual attributes of the source relation completely, early in the
parse analysis phase. This failed to work when the condition of an
action included a whole-row reference, causing setrefs.c to error out
with
ERROR: variable not found in subplan target lists
because at that point there is nothing to resolve the whole-row
reference with. We can fix this by having preprocess_targetlist expand
the source targetlist for Vars required from the source rel by all
actions. Moreover, by using this expansion mechanism we can do away
with the targetlist expansion in transformMergeStmt, which is good
because then we no longer pull in columns that aren't needed for
anything.
Add a test case for the problem.
While at it, remove some redundant code in preprocess_targetlist():
MERGE was doing separately what is already being done for UPDATE/DELETE,
so we can just rely on the latter and remove the former. (The handling
of inherited rels was different for MERGE, but that was a no-longer-
necessary hack.)
Fix outdated, related comments for fix_join_expr also.

Compression option handling (level, algorithm or even workers) can be
used across several parts of the system and not only base backups.
Structures, objects and routines are renamed in consequence, to remove
the concept of base backups from this part of the code making this
change straight-forward.
pg_receivewal, that has gained support for LZ4 since babbbb5, will make
use of this infrastructure for its set of compression options, bringing
more consistency with pg_basebackup. This cleanup needs to be done
before releasing a beta of 15. pg_dump is a potential future target, as
well, and adding more compression options to it may happen in 16~.

All but a few existing callers assume without checking that this
function succeeds. While it probably will, that's a poor excuse for
not checking. Let's make it return void and instead throw an error
if it doesn't find the block reference. Callers that actually need
to handle the no-such-block case must now use the underlying function
XLogRecGetBlockTagExtended.
In addition to being a bit less error-prone, this should also serve
to suppress some Coverity complaints about XLogRecGetBlockRefInfo.
While at it, clean up some inconsistency about use of the
XLogRecHasBlockRef macro: make XLogRecGetBlockTagExtended use
that instead of open-coding the same condition, and avoid calling
XLogRecHasBlockRef twice in relevant code paths. (That is,
calling XLogRecHasBlockRef followed by XLogRecGetBlockTag is now
deprecated: use XLogRecGetBlockTagExtended instead.)
Patch HEAD only; this doesn't seem to have enough value to consider
a back-branch API break.

Remove comment block about how heap page vacuuming used to set tuples
with storage to LP_UNUSED in a rare edge case that can no longer happen
following commit 8523492d4e. The comments seem unnecessary now, since
it's now generally clear that heap vacuuming only applies to LP_DEAD
items from VACUUM's first heap pass following more recent work from
commits 12b5ade902 and 4f8d9d1217.
As of commit 39969e2a1, no caller of do_pg_backup_start() passes NULL
for labelfile or tblspcmapfile, nor is it plausible that any would
do so in the future. Remove the code that coped with that case,
as (a) it's dead and (b) it causes Coverity to bleat about possibly
leaked storage.
While here, do some janitorial work on the function's header comment.
\dconfig without an argument originally printed all parameters,
but it seems more useful to print only those parameters with
non-default settings. You can easily get the show-everything
behavior with "\dconfig *", but that output is unwieldy and
seems unlikely to be wanted very often.

With nowait passed as false, pgstat_lock_entry() must return true
so there's no need to check its result. Coverity seems unconvinced
of this, so whack it upside the head with a (void) cast.
The existing coding resulted in touching every copyright-containing
file in the tree, even if it was already up to date. That doesn't
matter much for the annual run, but it's an annoyance if you try
to use the script for mop-up at the close of a devel cycle, as
I just did.

Commit 4a7e964fc6 made pgperlsyncheck fail, but apparently nobody
noticed, although the buildfarm module that does more or less the same
thing was modified. So fix the in-core test. I will look at unifying the
two sets of tests so we avoid a future mismatch.
These apply to traces from Test::More functions such as ok(), is(),
diag() and note(). Output from other sources (e.g. external programs
such a initdb) is not affected. The elapsed time is the time since the
last such trace (or the beginning of the test in the first case). Times
and timestamps are at millisecond precision.

There's no particular reason why this example has to use a
3-element array rather than 2-element. Shortening it makes
the result bytea narrow enough to not cause a margin overrun
in A4 format.
wrasse, at least, moans about the lack of any "return" statement
in these functions. You'd think pretty much everything would
know that exit(1) doesn't return, but evidently not.
Get rid of the separate "FATAL" log level, as it was applied
so inconsistently as to be meaningless. This mostly involves
s/pg_log_fatal/pg_log_error/g.
Create a macro pg_fatal() to handle the common use-case of
pg_log_error() immediately followed by exit(1). Various
modules had already invented either this or equivalent macros;
standardize on pg_fatal() and apply it where possible.
Invent the ability to add "detail" and "hint" messages to a
frontend message, much as we have long had in the backend.
Except where rewording was needed to convert existing coding
to detail/hint style, I have (mostly) resisted the temptation
to change existing message wording.

Before commit 412ad7a55639516f284cd0ef9757d6ae5c7abd43, delayChkpt
was a Boolean. Now it's an integer. Extensions using it need to be
appropriately updated, so let's rename the field to make sure that
a hard compilation failure occurs.
Replacing delayChkpt with delayChkptFlags made a few comments extend
past 80 characters, so I reflowed them and changed some wording very
slightly.
The back-branches will need a different change to restore compatibility
with existing minor releases; this is just for master.

Commit 5a2832465fd8984d089e8c44c094e6900d987fcd added
addFooterToPublicationDesc() as a wrapper around
printTableAddFooter(). The translation marker _() was moved to the
body of addFooterToPublicationDesc(), but addFooterToPublicationDesc()
was not added to GETTEXT_TRIGGERS, so those strings were lost for
translation. To fix, add the translation markers to the call sites of
addFooterToPublicationDesc() and remove the translation marker from
the body of the function. This seems easiest since there were only
two callers and it keeps the API consistent with
printTableAddFooter(). While we're here, add some const decorations
to the prototype of addFooterToPublicationDesc() for consistency with
printTableAddFooter().
Up until now, we've had a policy of only marking certain variables
in the PostgreSQL header files with PGDLLIMPORT, but now we've
decided to mark them all. This means that extensions running on
Windows should no longer operate at a disadvantage as compared to
extensions running on Linux: if the variable is present in a header
file, it should be accessible.
