Fujii Masao a1ed6a9a03 Fix unlogged sequence corruption after standby promotion
Previously, if an unlogged sequence was created on the primary and
replicated to a standby, reading the sequence after promoting the
standby (for example, with nextval()) could trigger the following
assertion failure:

    TRAP: failed Assert("((const PageHeaderData *) page)->pd_special >= SizeOfPageHeaderData")

In non-assert builds, the same operation could instead fail with an
error such as:

    ERROR:  bad magic number in sequence

The problem was that seq_redo() updated the init fork page in shared
buffers but did not flush it to disk. During promotion,
ResetUnloggedRelations() recreates the main fork of unlogged
relations by copying the init fork from disk, bypassing shared
buffers. As a result, the main fork could be recreated from a stale
init fork instead of the WAL-replayed page.

Fix this by introducing a helper to flush init fork buffers
immediately, and make seq_redo() use it. As a result, the main fork
of an unlogged sequence is recreated from the up-to-date init fork on
disk, allowing the unlogged sequence to be read successfully after
standby promotion.

Backpatch to v15, where unlogged sequences were introduced.

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
