Running vacuumdb with a non-superuser while another user has created a
temporary table would lead to a mid-flight permission failure,
interrupting the operation. vacuum_rel() skips temporary relations of
other backends, and it makes no sense for vacuumdb to know about these
relations, so let's switch it to ignore temporary relations entirely.
Adding a qual in the query based on relpersistence simplifies the
generation of its WHERE clause in vacuum_one_database(), per se the
removal of "has_where".

The previous commit fixed some ways of losing an inplace update. It
remained possible to lose one when a backend working toward a
heap_update() copied a tuple into memory just before inplace update of
that tuple. In catalogs eligible for inplace update, use LOCKTAG_TUPLE
to govern admission to the steps of copying an old tuple, modifying it,
and issuing heap_update(). This includes MERGE commands. To avoid
changing most of the pg_class DDL, don't require LOCKTAG_TUPLE when
holding a relation lock sufficient to exclude inplace updaters.
Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions). In v13 and v12, "UPDATE
pg_class" or "UPDATE pg_database" can still lose an inplace update. The
v14+ UPDATE fix needs commit 86dc90056dfdbd9d1b891718d2e5614e3e432f35,
and it wasn't worth reimplementing that fix without such infrastructure.

As previously-added tests demonstrated, heap_inplace_update() could
instead update an unrelated tuple of the same catalog. It could lose
the update. Losing relhasindex=t was a source of index corruption.
Inplace-updating commands like VACUUM will now wait for heap_update()
commands like GRANT TABLE and GRANT DATABASE. That isn't ideal, but a
long-running GRANT already hurts VACUUM progress more just by keeping an
XID running. The VACUUM will behave like a DELETE or UPDATE waiting for
the uncommitted change.
For implementation details, start at the systable_inplace_update_begin()

In existing releases of libxml2, xmlXPathCompile can be driven
to stack overflow because it fails to protect itself against
too-deeply-nested input. While there is an upstream fix as of
yesterday, it will take years for that to propagate into all
shipping versions. In the meantime, we can protect our own
usages basically for free by calling xmlXPathCtxtCompile instead.
(The actual bug is that libxml2 keeps its nesting counter in the
xmlXPathContext, and its parsing code was willing to just skip
counting nesting levels if it didn't have a context. So if we supply
a context, all is well. It seems odd actually that it works at all
to not supply a context, because this means that XPath parsing does
not have access to XML namespace info. Apparently libxml2 never
checks namespaces until runtime? Anyway, this seems like good
future-proofing even if its only immediate effect is to dodge a bug.)
Sadly, this hack only offers protection with libxml2 2.9.11 and newer.
Before that there are multiple similar problems, so if you are
processing untrusted XML it behooves you to get a newer version.
But we have some pretty old libxml2 in the buildfarm, so it seems
impractical to add a regression test to verify this fix.

I managed to break this test in two different ways in commit
05036a3155.
First, the output of the new call to tuple_data_split() on the test
sequence is dependent on endianness. This is fixed by setting a
special start value for the test sequence that produces the same
output regardless of the endianness of the machine.
Second, on versions older than v15, the new test case fails under
"force_parallel_mode = regress" with the following error:
ERROR: cannot access temporary tables during a parallel operation
This is because pageinspect's disk-accessing functions are
incorrectly marked PARALLEL SAFE on versions older than v15 (see
commit aeaaf520f4 for details). This one is fixed by changing the
test sequence to be permanent. The only reason it was previously
marked temporary was to avoid needing a DROP SEQUENCE command at
the end of the test. Unlike some other tests in this file, the use
of a permanent sequence here shouldn't result in any test
instability like what was fixed by commit e2933a6e11.

check_agglevels_and_constraints() asserted that if we find an
aggregate function in an EXPR_KIND_FROM_SUBSELECT expression, the
expression must be in a LATERAL subquery. Alexander Lakhin found a
case where that's not so: because of the odd scoping rules for NEW/OLD
within a rule, a reference to NEW/OLD could cause an aggregate to be
considered top-level even though it's in an unmarked sub-select.
The error message that would be thrown seems sufficiently on-point,
so just remove the Assert. (Hence, this is not a bug for production
builds.)
This Assert was added by me in commit eaccfded9 (9.3 era). It looks
like I put it in to cross-check that the new logic for detecting
misplaced aggregates (using agglevelsup) caught the same cases that a
previous check on p_lateral_active did. So there might have been some

Commit c66a7d75e652 modified DROP DATABASE so that if interrupted, the
database is known to be in an invalid state and can only be dropped.
This is done by setting a flag using an in-place update, so that it's
not lost in case of rollback.
For databases with many ACLs, this may however fail like this:
ERROR: wrong tuple length
This happens because with many ACLs, the pg_database.datacl attribute
gets TOASTed. The dropdb() code reads the tuple from the syscache, which
means it's detoasted. But the in-place update expects the tuple length
to match the on-disk tuple.
Fixed by reading the tuple from the catalog directly, not from syscache.

If a partition undergoes DETACH CONCURRENTLY immediately followed by
DROP, this could cause a problem for a concurrent transaction
recomputing the partition descriptor when running a prepared statement,
because it tries to dereference a pointer to a tuple that's not found in
a catalog scan.
The existing retry logic added in commit dbca3469ebf8 is sufficient to
cope with the overall problem, provided we don't try to dereference a
non-existant heap tuple.
Arguably, the code in RelationBuildPartitionDesc() has been wrong all
along, since no check was added in commit 898e5e3290a7 against receiving
a NULL tuple from the catalog scan; that bug has only become
user-visible with DETACH CONCURRENTLY which was added in branch 14.
Therefore, even though there's no known mechanism to cause a crash
because of this, backpatch the addition of such a check to all supported
branches. In branches prior to 14, this would cause the code to fail
with a "missing relpartbound for relation XYZ" error instead of
crashing; that's okay, because there are no reports of such behavior
anyway.

Coverity thinks dpns->plan could be null at these points. That

These are new in b919a97a6. Back-patch to v13; the v12 version
of the patch didn't have these Asserts.
The code intends to allow GUCs to be set within parallel workers
via function SET clauses, but not otherwise. However, doing so fails
for "session_authorization" and "role", because the assign hooks for
those attempt to set the subsidiary "is_superuser" GUC, and that call
falls foul of the "not otherwise" prohibition. We can't switch to
using GUC_ACTION_SAVE for this, so instead add a new GUC variable
flag GUC_ALLOW_IN_PARALLEL to mark is_superuser as being safe to set
anyway. (This is okay because is_superuser has context PGC_INTERNAL
and thus only hard-wired calls can change it. We'd need more thought
before applying the flag to other GUCs; but maybe there are other
use-cases.) This isn't the prettiest fix perhaps, but other
alternatives we thought of would be much more invasive.
While here, correct a thinko in commit 059de3ca4: when rejecting
a GUC setting within a parallel worker, we should return 0 not -1
if the ereport doesn't longjmp. (This seems to have no consequences
right now because no caller cares, but it's inconsistent.) Improve
the comments to try to forestall future confusion of the same kind.
Despite the lack of field complaints, this seems worth back-patching.

altogether on the grounds that no rows could pass the WHERE quals,

Rather than trying to untangle the mess (which might be possible given
