There is only one constructor now for PostgresNode, with the idiomatic
name 'new'. The method is not exported by the class, and must be called
as "PostgresNode->new('name',[args])". All the TAP tests that use
PostgresNode are modified accordingly. Third party scripts will need
adjusting, which is a fairly mechanical process (I just used a sed
script).
This method will modify or delete an existing line in the config file
rather than simply appending to the file. This makes adjustment of files
for older versions much simpler and more compact.
This is now the default for pg_ctl, but having the flag here explicitly
does no harm and helps with backwards compatibility of the PostgresNode
module.
Several TAP tests use poll_query_until() to wait for the postmaster
to restart. They were checking to see if a trivial query
(e.g. "SELECT 1") succeeds. However, that's problematic in the wake
of commit 11e9caff8, because now that we feed said query to psql
via stdin, we risk IPC::Run whining about a SIGPIPE failure if psql
quits before reading the query. Hence, we can't use a nonempty
query in cases where we need to wait for connection failures to
stop happening.
Per the precedent of commits c757a3da0 and 6d41dd045, we can pass
"undef" as the query in such cases to ensure that IPC::Run has
nothing to write. However, then we have to say that the expected
output is empty, and this exposes a deficiency in poll_query_until:
if psql fails altogether and returns empty stdout, poll_query_until
will treat that as a success! That's because, contrary to its
documentation, it makes no actual check for psql failure, looking
neither at the exit status nor at stderr.
To fix that, adjust poll_query_until to insist on empty stderr as
well as a stdout match. (I experimented with checking exit status
instead, but it seems that psql often does exit(1) in cases that we
need to consider successes. That might be something to fix someday,
but it would be a non-back-patchable behavior change.)
Back-patch to v10. The test cases needing this exist only as far
back as v11, but it seems wise to keep poll_query_until's behavior
the same in v10, in case we back-patch another such test case in
future. (9.6 does not currently need this change, because in that
branch poll_query_until can't be told to accept empty stdout as
a success case.)

The Msys shell mangles certain patterns in its command line, so avoid
handing arbitrary SQL to psql on the command line and instead use
IPC::Run's redirection facility for stdin. This pattern is already
mostly whats used, but query_poll_until() was not doing the right thing.
Problem discovered on the buildfarm when a new TAP test failed on msys.
Older versions of perl on Windows don't like the list form of pipe open,
and perlcritic doesn't like the string form of open, so we avoid both
with a simpler formulation using qx{}.

Also "make reformat-dat-files".
The only change worthy of note is that pgindent messed up the formatting
of launcher.c's struct LogicalRepWorkerId, which led me to notice that
that struct wasn't used at all anymore, so I just took it out.
A new PostgresVersion object type is created and this is used in
PostgresNode using the output of `pg_config --version` and the result
stored in the PostgresNode object. This object can be compared to other
PostgresVersion objects, or to a number or string.
PostgresNode is currently believed to be compatible with versions down
to release 12, so PostgresNode will issue a warning if used with a
version prior to that.
No attempt has been made to deal with incompatibilities in older
versions - that remains work to be undertaken in a subsequent
development cycle.

Commit b34ca595ab provided for installation-aware instances of
PostgresNode. However, it turns out that IPC::Run works against this by
caching the path to a binary and not consulting the path again, even if
it has changed. We work around this by calling Postgres binaries with
the installed path rather than just a bare name to be looked up in the
environment path, if there is an installed path. For the common case
where there is no installed path we continue to use the bare command
name.

In order to avoid getting old logfile contents certain functions in
PostgresNode were doing one of two things. On Windows it rotated the
logfile and restarted the server, while elsewhere it truncated the log
file. Both of these are unnecessary. We borrow from the buildfarm which
does this instead: note the size of the logfile before we start, and
then when fetching the logfile skip to that position before accumulating
contents. This is spelled differently on Windows but the effect is the
same. This is largely centralized in TestLib's slurp_file function,
which has a new optional parameter, the offset to skip to before
starting to reading the file. Code in the client becomes much neater.
Backpatch to all live branches.

The truncation of the log file, that this set of tests relies on to make
sure that a connection attempt matches with its expected backend log
pattern, fails, as reported by buildfarm member fairywren. Instead of a
truncation, do a rotation of the log file and restart the node. This
will ensure that the connection attempt data is unique for each test.

The "authenticated identity" is the string used by an authentication
method to identify a particular user. In many common cases, this is the
same as the PostgreSQL username, but for some third-party authentication
methods, the identifier in use may be shortened or otherwise translated
(e.g. through pg_ident user mappings) before the server stores it.
To help administrators see who has actually interacted with the system,
this commit adds the capability to store the original identity when
authentication succeeds within the backend's Port, and generates a log
entry when log_connections is enabled. The log entries generated look
something like this (where a local user named "foouser" is connecting to
the database as the database user called "admin"):
LOG: connection received: host=[local]
LOG: connection authenticated: identity="foouser" method=peer (/data/pg_hba.conf:88)
LOG: connection authorized: user=admin database=postgres application_name=psql
Port->authn_id is set according to the authentication method:
bsd: the PostgreSQL username (aka the local username)
cert: the client's Subject DN
gss: the user principal
ident: the remote username
ldap: the final bind DN
pam: the PostgreSQL username (aka PAM username)
password (and all pw-challenge methods): the PostgreSQL username
peer: the peer's pw_name
radius: the PostgreSQL username (aka the RADIUS username)
sspi: either the down-level (SAM-compatible) logon name, if
compat_realm=1, or the User Principal Name if compat_realm=0
The trust auth method does not set an authenticated identity. Neither
does clientcert=verify-full.
Port->authn_id could be used for other purposes, like a superuser-only
extra column in pg_stat_activity, but this is left as future work.
PostgresNode::connect_{ok,fails}() have been modified to let tests check
the backend log files for required or prohibited patterns, using the
new log_like and log_unlike parameters. This uses a method based on a
truncation of the existing server log file, like issues_sql_like().
Tests are added to the ldap, kerberos, authentication and SSL test
suites.

This commit refactors more TAP tests to adapt with the recent

introduced by 0d1a3343. This changes the following test suites to use
the same code paths for connection checks:
- Kerberos
- LDAP
- SSL
- Authentication
Those routines are extended to be able to handle optional parameters
that are set depending on each suite's needs, as of:
- custom SQL query.
- expected stderr matching pattern.
- expected stdout matching pattern.
The new design is extensible with more parameters, and there are some
plans for those routines in the future with checks based on the contents

test_connect_ok() and test_connect_fails() have always been part of the
SSL tests, and check if a connection to the backend should work or not,
and there are sanity checks done on specific error patterns dropped by
libpq if the connection fails.
This was fundamentally wrong on two aspects. First, SSLServer.pm works
mostly on setting up and changing the SSL configuration of a
PostgresNode, and has really nothing to do with the client. Second,
the situation became worse in light of b34ca595, where the SSL tests
would finish by using a psql command that may not come from the same
installation as the node set up.
This commit moves those client routines into PostgresNode, making easier
the refactoring of SSLServer to become more SSL-implementation aware.
This can also be reused by the ldap, kerberos and authentication test
suites for connection checks, and a follow-up patch should extend those
interfaces to match with backend log patterns.

The existing test script does run pg_basebackup with the -Ft option,
but it makes no real attempt to verify the sanity of the results.
We wouldn't know if the output is incompatible with standard "tar"
programs, nor if the server fails to start from the restored output.
Notably, this means that xlog.c's read_tablespace_map() is not being
meaningfully tested, since that code is used only in the tar-format
case. (We do have reasonable coverage of restoring from plain-format
output, though it's over in src/test/recovery not here.)
Hence, attempt to untar the output and start a server from it,
rather just hoping it's OK.
This test assumes that the local "tar" has the "-C directory"
switch. Although that's not promised by POSIX, my research
suggests that all non-extinct tar implementations have it.
Should the buildfarm's opinion differ, we can complicate the
test a bit to avoid requiring that.
Possibly this should be back-patched, but I'm unsure about
whether it could work on Windows before d66b23b03.
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.
Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/723911.1601417626@sss.pgh.pa.us
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.

remove safe_psql's redundant repetition of what psql already did;

Notably, it seems some people didn't absorb the style rules of

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.

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
