The tests added by this commit cover a large ground in terms of the introduction of oid8 in TOAST tables, with the following areas covered, with all the gaps found during the development of the feature: - Tables with oid8 TOAST tables in general, under strings.sql. - ALTER TABLE with attribute manipulations in transactions and different toast_table_value settings. - Relation rewrites, not affecting the TOAST relation after initial creation with VACUUM FULL, CLUSTER, REPACK. - pg_column_compression(). - test_decoding, for external and extended TOAST data. - amcheck, external and extended storage with heap checked. - UPDATE with out-of-line datums that belongs to another TOAST table. This offers coverage for toast_tuple_init(), where external vartags could be mixed once multiple on-disk external TOAST pointers can co-exist. This pattern can be triggered with asan/ubsan, with an out-of-bound memcpy when unpatched. These tests are added before the new vartag_external, mostly as a matter of avoiding dead code in the tree.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
