This commit adds a new column, seq_sync_error_count, to the
pg_stat_subscription_stats view. This counter tracks the number of errors
encountered by the sequence synchronization worker during operation.
Since a single worker handles the synchronization of all sequences, this
value may reflect errors from multiple sequences. This addition improves
observability of sequence synchronization behavior and helps monitor
potential issues during replication.

Until now BufferDesc.state was not allowed to be modified while the buffer
header spinlock was held. This meant that operations like unpinning buffers
needed to use a CAS loop, waiting for the buffer header spinlock to be
released before updating.
The benefit of that restriction is that it allowed us to unlock the buffer
header spinlock with just a write barrier and an unlocked write (instead of a
full atomic operation). That was important to avoid regressions in
48354581a4. However, since then the hottest buffer header spinlock uses have
been replaced with atomic operations (in particular, the most common use of
PinBuffer_Locked(), in GetVictimBuffer() (formerly in BufferAlloc()), has been
removed in 5e89985928).
This change will allow, in a subsequent commit, to release buffer pins with a
single atomic-sub operation. This previously was not possible while such
operations were not allowed while the buffer header spinlock was held, as an
atomic-sub would not have allowed a race-free check for the buffer header lock
being held.
Using atomic-sub to unpin buffers is a nice scalability win, however it is not
the primary motivation for this change (although it would be sufficient). The
primary motivation is that we would like to merge the buffer content lock into
BufferDesc.state, which will result in more frequent changes of the state
variable, which in some situations can cause a performance regression, due to
an increased CAS failure rate when unpinning buffers. The regression entirely
vanishes when using atomic-sub.
Naively implementing this would require putting CAS loops in every place
modifying the buffer state while holding the buffer header lock. To avoid
that, introduce UnlockBufHdrExt(), which can set/add flags as well as the
refcount, together with releasing the lock.

XLogRecPtrIsInvalid() is inconsistent with the affirmative form of
macros used for other datatypes, and leads to awkward double negatives
in a few places. This commit introduces XLogRecPtrIsValid(), which
allows code to be written more naturally.
This patch only adds the new macro. XLogRecPtrIsInvalid() is left in
place, and all existing callers remain untouched. This means all
supported branches can accept hypothetical bug fixes that use the new
macro, and at the same time any code that compiled with the original
formulation will continue to silently compile just fine.

Before commit e25626677f, spinlocks were implemented using semaphores
on some platforms (--disable-spinlocks). That made it necessary to
initialize semaphores early, before any spinlocks could be used. Now
that we don't support --disable-spinlocks anymore, we can allocate the
shared memory needed for semaphores the same way as other shared
memory structures. Since the semaphores are used only in the PGPROC
array, move the semaphore shmem size estimation and initialization
calls to ProcGlobalShmemSize() and InitProcGlobal().

This patch introduces sequence synchronization. Sequences that are synced
will have 2 states:
- INIT (needs [re]synchronizing)
- READY (is already synchronized)
A new sequencesync worker is launched as needed to synchronize sequences.
A single sequencesync worker is responsible for synchronizing all
sequences. It begins by retrieving the list of sequences that are flagged
for synchronization, i.e., those in the INIT state. These sequences are
then processed in batches, allowing multiple entries to be synchronized
within a single transaction. The worker fetches the current sequence
values and page LSNs from the remote publisher, updates the corresponding
sequences on the local subscriber, and finally marks each sequence as
READY upon successful synchronization.
Sequence synchronization occurs in 3 places:
1) CREATE SUBSCRIPTION
- The command syntax remains unchanged.
- The subscriber retrieves sequences associated with publications.
- Published sequences are added to pg_subscription_rel with INIT
state.
- Initiate the sequencesync worker to synchronize all sequences.
2) ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION
- The command syntax remains unchanged.
- Dropped published sequences are removed from pg_subscription_rel.
- Newly published sequences are added to pg_subscription_rel with INIT
state.
- Initiate the sequencesync worker to synchronize only newly added
sequences.
3) ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH SEQUENCES
- A new command introduced for PG19 by f0b3573c3a.
- All sequences in pg_subscription_rel are reset to INIT state.
- Initiate the sequencesync worker to synchronize all sequences.
- Unlike "ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION" command,
addition and removal of missing sequences will not be done in this
case.

Commit b4f584f9d2 (affecting v15~, later backpatched down to 13 as of
3635a0a35a) introduced an unconditional WAL receiver shutdown when
switching from streaming to archive WAL sources. This causes problems
during a timeline switch, when a WAL receiver enters WALRCV_WAITING
state but remains alive, waiting for instructions.
The unconditional shutdown can break some monitoring scenarios as the
WAL receiver gets repeatedly terminated and re-spawned, causing
pg_stat_wal_receiver.status to show a "streaming" instead of "waiting"
status, masking the fact that the WAL receiver is waiting for a new TLI
and a new LSN to be able to continue streaming.
This commit changes the WAL receiver behavior so as the shutdown becomes
conditional, with InstallXLogFileSegmentActive being always reset to
prevent the regression fixed by b4f584f9d2: only terminate the WAL
receiver when it is actively streaming (WALRCV_STREAMING,
WALRCV_STARTING, or WALRCV_RESTARTING). When in WALRCV_WAITING state,
just reset InstallXLogFileSegmentActive flag to allow archive
restoration without killing the process. WALRCV_STOPPED and
WALRCV_STOPPING are not reachable states in this code path. For the
latter, the startup process is the one in charge of setting
WALRCV_STOPPING via ShutdownWalRcv(), waiting for the WAL receiver to
reach a WALRCV_STOPPED state after switching walRcvState, so
WaitForWALToBecomeAvailable() cannot be reached while a WAL receiver is
in a WALRCV_STOPPING state.
A regression test is added to check that a WAL receiver is not stopped
on timeline jump, that fails when the fix of this commit is reverted.

We've been nibbling away at removing uses of "long" for a long time,
since its width is platform-dependent. Here's one more: change the
remaining "long" fields in Plan nodes to Cardinality, since the three
surviving examples all represent group-count estimates. The upstream
planner code was converted to Cardinality some time ago; for example
the corresponding fields in Path nodes are type Cardinality, as are
the arguments of the make_foo_path functions. Downstream in the
executor, it turns out that these all feed to the table-size argument
of BuildTupleHashTable. Change that to "double" as well, and fix it
so that it safely clamps out-of-range values to the uint32 limit of
simplehash.h, as was not being done before.
Essentially, this is removing all the artificial datatype-dependent
limitations on these values from upstream processing, and applying
just one clamp at the moment where we're forced to do so by the
datatype choices of simplehash.h.
Also, remove BuildTupleHashTable's misguided attempt to enforce
work_mem/hash_mem_limit. It doesn't have enough information
(particularly not the expected tuple width) to do that accurately,
and it has no real business second-guessing the caller's choice.
For all these plan types, it's really the planner's responsibility
to not choose a hashed implementation if the hashtable is expected
to exceed hash_mem_limit. The previous patch improved the
accuracy of those estimates, and even if BuildTupleHashTable had
more information it should arrive at the same conclusions.

For several types of plan nodes that use TupleHashTables, the
planner estimated the expected size of the table as basically
numEntries * (MAXALIGN(dataWidth) + MAXALIGN(SizeofHeapTupleHeader)).
This is pretty far off, especially for small data widths, because
it doesn't account for the overhead of the simplehash.h hash table
nor for any per-tuple "additional space" the plan node may request.
Jeff Janes noted a case where the estimate was off by about a factor
of three, even though the obvious hazards such as inaccurate estimates
of numEntries or dataWidth didn't apply.
To improve matters, create functions provided by the relevant executor
modules that can estimate the required sizes with reasonable accuracy.
(We're still not accounting for effects like allocator padding, but
this at least gets the first-order effects correct.)
I added functions that can estimate the tuple table sizes for
nodeSetOp and nodeSubplan; these rely on an estimator for
TupleHashTables in general, and that in turn relies on one for
simplehash.h hash tables. That feels like kind of a lot of mechanism,
but if we take any short-cuts we're violating modularity boundaries.
The other places that use TupleHashTables are nodeAgg, which took
pains to get its numbers right already, and nodeRecursiveunion.
I did not try to improve the situation for nodeRecursiveunion because
there's nothing to improve: we are not making an estimate of the hash
table size, and it wouldn't help us to do so because we have no
non-hashed alternative implementation. On top of that, our estimate
of the number of entries to be hashed in that module is so suspect
that we'd likely often choose the wrong implementation if we did have
two ways to do it.

For all extant uses of TupleHashTables, execGrouping.c itself does
nothing with the "tablecxt" except to allocate new hash entries in it,
and the callers do nothing with it except to reset the whole context.
So this is an ideal use-case for a BumpContext, and the hash tables
are frequently big enough for the savings to be significant.
(Commit cc721c459 already taught nodeAgg.c this idea, but neglected
the other callers of BuildTupleHashTable.)
While at it, let's clean up some ill-advised leftovers from rebasing
TupleHashTables on simplehash.h:
* Many comments and variable names were based on the idea that the
tablecxt holds the whole TupleHashTable, whereas now it only holds the
hashed tuples (plus any caller-defined "additional storage"). Rename
to names like tuplescxt and tuplesContext, and adjust the comments.
Also adjust the memory context names to be like "<Foo> hashed tuples".
* Make ResetTupleHashTable() reset the tuplescxt rather than relying
on the caller to do so; that was fairly bizarre and seems like a
recipe for leaks. This is less efficient in the case where nodeAgg.c
uses the same tuplescxt for several different hashtables, but only
microscopically so because mcxt.c will short-circuit the extra resets
via its isReset flag. I judge the extra safety and intellectual
cleanliness well worth those few cycles.
* Remove the long-obsolete "allow_jit" check added by ac88807f9;
instead, just Assert that metacxt and tuplescxt are different.
We need that anyway for this definition of ResetTupleHashTable() to
be safe.
There is a side issue of the extent to which this change invalidates
the planner's estimates of hashtable memory consumption. However,
those estimates are already pretty bad, so improving them seems like
it can be a separate project. This change is useful to do first to
establish consistent executor behavior that the planner can expect.
A loose end not addressed here is that the "entrysize" calculation
in BuildTupleHashTable seems wrong: "sizeof(TupleHashEntryData) +
additionalsize" corresponds neither to the size of the simplehash
entries nor to the total space needed per tuple. It's questionable
why BuildTupleHashTable is second-guessing its caller's nbuckets
choice at all, since the original source of the number should have had
more information. But that all seems wrapped up with the planner's
estimation logic, so let's leave it for the planned followup patch.

Instead of having five separate GUC structs, one for each type, with
the generic part contained in each of them, flip it around and have
one common struct, with the type-specific part has a subfield.
The very original GUC design had type-specific structs and
type-specific lists, and the membership in one of the lists defined
the type. But now the structs themselves know the type (from the
.vartype field), and they are all loaded into a common hash table at
run time, and so this original separation no longer makes sense. It
creates a bunch of inconsistencies in the code about whether the
type-specific or the generic struct is the primary struct, and a lot
of casting in between, which makes certain assumptions about the
struct layouts.
After the change, all these casts are gone and all the data is
accessed via normal field references. Also, various code is
simplified because only one kind of struct needs to be processed.

This patch adds support for a new SQL command:
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH SEQUENCES
This command updates the sequence entries present in the
pg_subscription_rel catalog table with the INIT state to trigger
resynchronization.
In addition to the new command, the following subscription commands have
been enhanced to automatically refresh sequence mappings:
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... ADD PUBLICATION
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... DROP PUBLICATION
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... SET PUBLICATION
These commands will perform the following actions:
Add newly published sequences that are not yet part of the subscription.
Remove sequences that are no longer included in the publication.
This ensures that sequence replication remains aligned with the current
state of the publication on the publisher side.
Note that the actual synchronization of sequence data/values will be
handled in a subsequent patch that introduces a dedicated sequence sync
worker.

Presently, these functions look up the relation's OID, lock it, and
then check privileges. Not only does this approach provide no
guarantee that the locked relation matches the arguments of the
lookup, but it also allows users to briefly lock relations for
which they do not have privileges, which might enable
denial-of-service attacks. This commit adjusts these functions to
use RangeVarGetRelidExtended(), which is purpose-built to avoid
both of these issues. The new RangeVarGetRelidCallback function is
somewhat complicated because it must handle both tables and
indexes, and for indexes, we must check privileges on the parent
table and lock it first. Also, it needs to handle a couple of
extremely unlikely race conditions involving concurrent OID reuse.
A downside of this change is that the coding doesn't allow for
locking indexes in AccessShare mode anymore; everything is locked
in ShareUpdateExclusive mode. Per discussion, the original choice
of lock levels was intended for a now defunct implementation that
used in-place updates, so we believe this change is okay.
