An example use-case is "CHECK(num_nonnulls(a,b,c) = 1)" to assert that
exactly one of a,b,c isn't NULL.  The functions are variadic, so they
can also be pressed into service to count the number of null or nonnull
elements in an array.

deparseReturningList ended up adding up RETURNING NULL to the code, but
code elsewhere saw an empty list of attributes and concluded that it
should not expect tuples from the remote side.

The previous RequestAddinLWLocks() method had several disadvantages.
First, the locks would be in the main tranche; we've recently decided
that it's useful for LWLocks used for separate purposes to have
separate tranche IDs.  Second, there wasn't any correlation between
what code called RequestAddinLWLocks() and what code called
LWLockAssign(); when multiple modules are in use, it could become
quite difficult to troubleshoot problems where LWLockAssign() ran out
of locks.  To fix, create a concept of named LWLock tranches which
can be used either by extension or by core code.

Since there currently is only one possible parenthesized option, namely
VERBOSE, it's a bit pointless to show it with "{ } [, ... ]".  The curly
braces are useless and therefore confusing, as seen in a recent question
from Karsten Hilbert.  Remove the extra decoration for the time being;
we can put it back when and if REINDEX grows some more options.

If a view is split into CREATE TABLE + CREATE RULE to break a circular
dependency, then any triggers on the view must be dumped/reloaded after
the CREATE RULE; else the backend may reject the CREATE TRIGGER because
it's the wrong type of trigger for a plain table.  This works all right
in plain dump/restore because of pg_dump's sorting heuristic that places
triggers after rules.  However, when using parallel restore, the ordering
must be enforced by a dependency --- and we didn't have one.

Fixing this is a mere matter of adding an addObjectDependency() call,
except that we need to be able to find all the triggers belonging to the
view relation, and there was no easy way to do that.  Add fields to
pg_dump's TableInfo struct to remember where the associated TriggerInfo
struct(s) are.

Per bug report from Dennis Kögel.  The failure can be exhibited at least
as far back as 9.1, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Have varlena.c expose an interface that allows the char(n), bytea, and
bpchar types to piggyback on a now-generalized SortSupport for text.
This pushes a little more knowledge of the bpchar/char(n) type into
varlena.c than might be preferred, but that seems like the approach
that creates least friction.  Also speed things up for index builds
that use text_pattern_ops or varchar_pattern_ops.

This patch does quite a bit of renaming, but it seems likely to be
worth it, so as to avoid future confusion about the fact that this code
is now more generally used than the old names might have suggested.

with small tweaks by me.

These were never documented anywhere user-visible.  Tut tut.

This patch doesn't put the new infrastructure to use anywhere, and
indeed it's not clear how it could ever be used for something like
postgres_fdw which has to send an SQL query and wait for a reply,
but there might be FDWs or custom scan providers that are CPU-bound,
so let's give them a way to join club parallel.

KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by me.

Commit 7d17e683 introduced an external
link.

Commit e09996ff removed some ad-hoc code in hstore_to_json_loose
that determined whether an hstore value string looked like a number,
in favor of calling the JSON parser's is-it-a-number code.  However,
it neglected the fact that the exact same code appeared in
hstore_to_jsonb_loose.

This is not a bug, exactly, because the requirements on the two functions
are not the same: hstore_to_json_loose must accept only syntactically legal
JSON numbers as numbers, or it will produce invalid JSON output, as per bug
#12070 which spawned the prior commit.  But hstore_to_jsonb_loose could
accept anything that numeric_in will eat, other than Inf and NaN.

Nonetheless it seems surprising and arbitrary that the two functions don't
use the same rules for what is a number versus what is a string; especially
since they did use the same rules before the aforesaid commit.  For one
thing, that means that doing hstore_to_json_loose and then casting to jsonb
can produce results different from doing just hstore_to_jsonb_loose.

Hence, change hstore_to_jsonb_loose's logic to match hstore_to_json_loose,
ie, hstore values are treated as numbers when they match the JSON syntax
for numbers.

No back-patch, since this is more in the nature of a definitional change
than a bug fix.

Remove duplicate assignment.  This part by Ashutosh Bapat.

Remove now-obsolete comment.  This part by me, although the pending
join pushdown patch does something similar, and for the same reason:
there's no reason to keep two lists of the things in the fdw_private
structure that have to be kept in sync with each other.

You can't really do anything useful with this in the form it currently
exists; among other problems, there's no way to reread whatever
information might be produced when the path is output.  Work is
underway to replace this with a more useful and more general system of
extensible nodes, but let's start by getting rid of this bit.

The default fetch size of 100 rows might not be right in every

Commit e09996ff was one brick shy of a load: it didn't insist
that the detected JSON number be the whole of the supplied string.
This allowed inputs such as "2016-01-01" to be misdetected as valid JSON
numbers.  Per bug #13906 from Dmitry Ryabov.

In passing, be more wary of zero-length input (I'm not sure this can
happen given current callers, but better safe than sorry), and do some
minor cosmetic cleanup.

Insert sd_notify() calls at server start and stop for integration with
systemd.  This allows the use of systemd service units of type "notify",
which greatly simplifies the systemd configuration.

Previously, the first error seen would be that postgresql.conf does not
exist.  But for the case where the whole directory does not exist, give
an error message about that, together with a hint for how to create one.

This field was included in the original definition of the printQueryOpt
struct in commit a45195a1, but it was not used anywhere in that
commit, nor since then.  Spotted by Dickson S. Guedes.

create_foreignscan_plan needs to know whether any system columns are
requested from a relation (this flag is needed by ForeignNext during
execution).  However, for join relations this is a pointless test,
because it's not possible to request system columns from them, so
remove the check.

Apparently at least one committer hasn't gotten the word that these do not
need to be maintained by hand, since initdb will create them automatically.
Noted while fixing bug #13905.

No catversion bump since the post-initdb state is exactly the same either
way.  I don't see a need for back-patch, either.

All the other jsonb function descriptions refer to the arguments as being
"jsonb", but these two said "json".  Make it consistent.  Per bug #13905
from Petru Florin Mihancea.

No catversion bump --- we can't force one in the back branches, and this
isn't very critical anyway.

KNN GiST with recheck flag should return to executor the same type as ordering
operator, GiST detects this type by looking to return type of function which
implements ordering operator. But occasionally detecting code works after
replacing ordering operator function to distance support function.
Distance support function always returns float8, so, detecting code get float8
instead of actual return type of ordering operator.

Built-in opclasses don't have ordering operator which doesn't return
non-float8 value, so, tests are impossible here, at least now.

Backpatch to 9.5 where lozzy KNN was introduced.
