This is mostly cosmetic, but it might fix build failures, on some
platform, when copying from the documentation.
Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions).
Since we now support the server side handler for git over https (so
we're no longer using the "dumb protocol"), make https the primary
choice for cloning the repository, and the git protocol the secondary
choice.
In passing, also change the links to git-scm.com from http to https.

Commit 9521ce4a7a1125385fb4de9689f345db594c516a from Sep 13, 2017 and
backpatched through 9.5 used rsync examples with datadir. The reporter
has pointed out, and testing has verified, that clusterdir must be used,
so update the docs accordingly.

Technically, pg_upgrade's --old-datadir and --new-datadir are
configuration directories, not necessarily data directories. This is
reflected in the 'postgres' manual page, so do the same for pg_upgrade.

pg_hba_file_rules erroneously reported this as scram-sha256. Fix that.
To avoid future errors and confusion, also adjust documentation links
and internal symbols to have a separator between "sha" and "256".

Document how to properly create root and intermediate certificates using
v3_ca extensions and where to place intermediate certificates so they
are properly transferred to the remote side with the leaf certificate to
link to the remote root certificate. This corrects docs that used to
say that intermediate certificates must be stored with the root
certificate.
Also add instructions on how to create root, intermediate, and leaf
certificates.

~> (cube, int) operator was especially designed for knn-gist search.
However, it appears that knn-gist search can't work correctly with current
behavior of this operator when dataset contains cubes of variable
dimensionality. In this case, the same value of second operator argument
can point to different dimension depending on dimensionality of particular cube.
Such behavior is incompatible with gist indexing of cubes, and knn-gist doesn't
work correctly for it.
This patch changes behavior of ~> (cube, int) operator by introducing dimension
numbering where value of second argument unambiguously identifies number of
dimension. With new behavior, this operator can be correctly supported by
knn-gist. Relevant changes to cube operator class are also included.
Backpatch to v9.6 where operator was introduced.
Since behavior of ~> (cube, int) operator is changed, depending entities
must be refreshed after upgrade. Such as, expression indexes using this
operator must be reindexed, materialized views must be rebuilt, stored
procedures and client code must be revised to correctly use new behavior.
That should be mentioned in release notes.

These functions are stated to be Oracle-compatible, but they weren't.
Yugo Nagata noticed that while our code returns zero for a zero or
negative fourth parameter (occur_index), Oracle throws an error.
Further testing by me showed that there was also a discrepancy in the
interpretation of a negative third parameter (beg_index): Oracle thinks
that a negative beg_index indicates the last place where the target
substring can *begin*, whereas our code thinks it is the last place
where the target can *end*.
Adjust the sample code to behave like Oracle in both these respects.
Also change it to be a CDATA[] section, simplifying copying-and-pasting
out of the documentation source file. And fix minor problems in the
introductory comment, which wasn't very complete or accurate.
Back-patch to all supported branches. Although this patch only touches
documentation, we should probably call it out as a bug fix in the next
minor release notes, since users who have adopted the functions will
likely want to update their versions.

rewriteTargetListUD's processing is dependent on the relkind of the query's
target table. That was fine at the time it was made to act that way, even
for queries on inheritance trees, because all tables in an inheritance tree
would necessarily be plain tables. However, the 9.5 feature addition
allowing some members of an inheritance tree to be foreign tables broke the
assumption that rewriteTargetListUD's output tlist could be applied to all
child tables with nothing more than column-number mapping. This led to
visible failures if foreign child tables had row-level triggers, and would
also break in cases where child tables belonged to FDWs that used methods
other than CTID for row identification.
To fix, delay running rewriteTargetListUD until after the planner has
expanded inheritance, so that it is applied separately to the (already
mapped) tlist for each child table. We can conveniently call it from
preprocess_targetlist. Refactor associated code slightly to avoid the
need to heap_open the target relation multiple times during
preprocess_targetlist. (The APIs remain a bit ugly, particularly around
the point of which steps scribble on parse->targetList and which don't.
But avoiding such scribbling would require a change in FDW callback APIs,
which is more pain than it's worth.)
Also fix ExecModifyTable to ensure that "tupleid" is reset to NULL when
we transition from rows providing a CTID to rows that don't. (That's
really an independent bug, but it manifests in much the same cases.)
Add a regression test checking one manifestation of this problem, which
was that row-level triggers on a foreign child table did not work right.
Back-patch to 9.5 where the problem was introduced.

Previously, any attempt to request a 3.x protocol version other than
3.0 would lead to a hard connection failure, which made the minor
protocol version really no different from the major protocol version
and precluded gentle protocol version breaks. Instead, when the
client requests a 3.x protocol version where x is greater than 0, send
the new NegotiateProtocolVersion message to convey that we support
only 3.0. This makes it possible to introduce new minor protocol
versions without requiring a connection retry when the server is
older.
In addition, if the startup packet includes name/value pairs where
the name starts with "_pq_.", assume that those are protocol options,
not GUCs. Include those we don't support (i.e. all of them, at
present) in the NegotiateProtocolVersion message so that the client
knows they were not understood. This makes it possible for the
client to request previously-unsupported features without bumping
the protocol version at all; the client can tell from the server's
response whether the option was understood.
It will take some time before servers that support these new
facilities become common in the wild; to speed things up and make
things easier for a future 3.1 protocol version, back-patch to all
supported releases.

In the v10 branch, also back-patch the effects of 1ff01b390 and c29c57890
on these files, to reduce future maintenance issues. (I'd do it further
back, except that the 9.X branches differ anyway due to xlog-to-wal
link tag renaming.)
This makes the produced HTML anchors upper case, making it backward
compatible with the previous (9.6) build system.

The change made by commit 906bfcad7 means that if you're writing
a parenthesized column list in UPDATE ... SET, but that column list
is only one column, you now need to write ROW(expression) on the
righthand side, not just a parenthesized expression. This was an
intentional change for spec compatibility and potential future
expansion of the possibilities for the RHS, but I'd neglected to
document it as a compatibility issue, figuring that hardly anyone
would bother with parenthesized syntax for a single target column.
I was wrong, as shown by questions from Justin Pryzby, Adam Brusselback,
and others. Move the release note item into the compatibility section
and point out the behavior change for a single target column.
