pgfdw_report_error has the same design fault as elog/ereport do, namely that it might or might not return depending on elevel. While those functions are too widely used to redesign, there are only about 30 call sites for pgfdw_report_error, and it's not exposed for extension use. So let's rethink it. Split it into pgfdw_report_error() which hard-wires ERROR elevel and is marked pg_noreturn, and pgfdw_report() which allows only elevels less than ERROR. (Thanks to Álvaro Herrera for suggesting this naming.) The motivation for doing this now is that in the wake of commit80aa9848b, which removed a bunch of PG_TRYs from postgres_fdw, we're seeing more thorough flow analysis there from C compilers and Coverity. Marking pgfdw_report_error as noreturn where appropriate should help prevent false-positive complaints. We could alternatively have invented a macro wrapper similar to what we use for elog/ereport, but that code is sufficiently fragile that I didn't find it appetizing to make another copy. Since80aa9848balready changed pgfdw_report_error's signature, this won't make back-patching any harder than it was already.
