Tom Lane 35b5c62c3a Don't allow CTEs to determine semantic levels of aggregates.
The fix for bug #19055 (commit b0cc0a71e) allowed CTE references in
sub-selects within aggregate functions to affect the semantic levels
assigned to such aggregates.  It turns out this broke some related
cases, leading to assertion failures or strange planner errors such
as "unexpected outer reference in CTE query".  After experimenting
with some alternative rules for assigning the semantic level in
such cases, we've come to the conclusion that changing the level
is more likely to break things than be helpful.

Therefore, this patch undoes what b0cc0a71e changed, and instead
installs logic to throw an error if there is any reference to a
CTE that's below the semantic level that standard SQL rules would
assign to the aggregate based on its contained Var and Aggref nodes.
(The SQL standard disallows sub-selects within aggregate functions,
so it can't reach the troublesome case and hence has no rule for
what to do.)

Perhaps someone will come along with a legitimate query that this
logic rejects, and if so probably the example will help us craft
a level-adjustment rule that works better than what b0cc0a71e did.
I'm not holding my breath for that though, because the previous
logic had been there for a very long time before bug #19055 without
complaints, and that bug report sure looks to have originated from
fuzzing not from real usage.

Like b0cc0a71e, back-patch to all supported branches, though
sadly that no longer includes v13.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
