Previously, there was an inconsistency across json/jsonb operators that
operate on datums containing JSON arrays -- only some operators
supported negative array count-from-the-end subscripting. Specifically,
only a new-to-9.5 jsonb deletion operator had support (the new "jsonb -
integer" operator). This inconsistency seemed likely to be
counter-intuitive to users. To fix, allow all places where the user can
supply an integer subscript to accept a negative subscript value,
including path-orientated operators and functions, as well as other
extraction operators. This will need to be called out as an
incompatibility in the 9.5 release notes, since it's possible that users
are relying on certain established extraction operators changed here
yielding NULL in the event of a negative subscript.
For the json type, this requires adding a way of cheaply getting the
total JSON array element count ahead of time when parsing arrays with a
negative subscript involved, necessitating an ad-hoc lex and parse.
This is followed by a "conversion" from a negative subscript to its
equivalent positive-wise value using the count. From there on, it's as
if a positive-wise value was originally provided.
Note that there is still a minor inconsistency here across jsonb
deletion operators. Unlike the aforementioned new "-" deletion operator
that accepts an integer on its right hand side, the new "#-" path
orientated deletion variant does not throw an error when it appears like
an array subscript (input that could be recognized by as an integer
literal) is being used on an object, which is wrong-headed. The reason
for not being stricter is that it could be the case that an object pair
happens to have a key value that looks like an integer; in general,
these two possibilities are impossible to differentiate with rhs path
text[] argument elements. However, we still don't allow the "#-"
path-orientated deletion operator to perform array-style subscripting.
Rather, we just return the original left operand value in the event of a
negative subscript (which seems analogous to how the established
"jsonb/json #> text[]" path-orientated operator may yield NULL in the
event of an invalid subscript).
In passing, make SetArrayPath() stricter about not accepting cases where
there is trailing non-numeric garbage bytes rather than a clean NUL
byte. This means, for example, that strings like "10e10" are now not
accepted as an array subscript of 10 by some new-to-9.5 path-orientated
jsonb operators (e.g. the new #- operator). Finally, remove dead code
for jsonb subscript deletion; arguably, this should have been done in
commit b81c7b409.

pg_receivexlog and pg_recvlogical error out when --create-slot is
specified and a slot with the same name already exists. In some cases,
especially with pg_receivexlog, that's rather annoying and requires
additional scripting.
Backpatch to 9.5 as slot control functions have newly been added to
pg_receivexlog, and there doesn't seem much point leaving it in a less
useful state.

Backpatch through 9.5

Commit 31eae602 added new syntax to many DDL commands to use CURRENT_USER
or SESSION_USER instead of role name in ALTER ... OWNER TO, but because
of a misplaced '{', the syntax in the docs implied that the syntax was
"ALTER ... CURRENT_USER", instead of "ALTER ... OWNER TO CURRENT_USER".
Fix that, and also the funny indentation in some of the modified syntax
blurps.

The documentation implied that there was seldom any reason to use the
array_append, array_prepend, and array_cat functions directly. But that's
not really true, because they can help make it clear which case is meant,
which the || operator can't do since it's overloaded to represent all three
cases. Add some discussion and examples illustrating the potentially
confusing behavior that can ensue if the parser misinterprets what was
meant.
Per a complaint from Michael Herold. Back-patch to 9.2, which is where ||
started to behave this way.

When enabling wal_compression, there is a risk to leak data similarly to
the BREACH and CRIME attacks on SSL where the compression ratio of
a full page image gives a hint of what is the existing data of this page.
This vulnerability is quite cumbersome to exploit in practice, but doable.
So this patch makes wal_compression PGC_SUSET in order to prevent
non-superusers from enabling it and exploiting the vulnerability while
DBA thinks the risk very seriously and disables it in postgresql.conf.
Back-patch to 9.5 where wal_compression was introduced.

Tom fixed another one of these in commit 7f32dbcd, but there was another
almost identical one in libpq docs. Per his comment:
HP's web server has apparently become case-sensitive sometime recently.
Per bug #13479 from Daniel Abraham. Corrected link identified by Alvaro.

The .backup file name can be passed to pg_archivecleanup even if
it includes the extension which is specified in -x option.
However, previously the document incorrectly warned a user
not to do that.
Back-patch to 9.2 where pg_archivecleanup's -x option and
the warning were added.

Commit de76884 changed an archive recovery so that the last WAL
segment with old timeline was renamed with suffix .partial. It should
have updated WAL-related utilities so that they can handle such
.paritial WAL files, but we forgot that.
This patch changes pg_archivecleanup so that it can clean up even
archived WAL files with .partial suffix. Also it allows us to specify
.partial WAL file name as the command-line argument "oldestkeptwalfile".
This patch also changes pg_resetxlog so that it can remove .partial
WAL files in pg_xlog directory.
pg_xlogdump cannot handle .partial WAL files. Per discussion,
we decided only to document that limitation instead of adding the fix.
Because a user can easily work around the limitation (i.e., just remove
.partial suffix from the file name) and the fix seems complicated for
very narrow use case.
Back-patch to 9.5 where the problem existed.

Minor corrections and clarifications. Notably, for stuff that got moved
out of contrib, make sure it's documented somewhere other than "Additional
Modules".
I'm sure these need more work, but that's all I have time for today.

Avoid memory leak from incorrect choice of how to free a StringInfo
(resetStringInfo doesn't do it). Now that pg_split_opts doesn't scribble
on the optstr, mark that as "const" for clarity. Attach the commentary in
protocol.sgml to the right place, and add documentation about the
user-visible effects of this change on postgres' -o option and libpq's
PGOPTIONS option.

As first committed, this view reported on the file contents as they were
at the last SIGHUP event. That's not as useful as reporting on the current
contents, and what's more, it didn't work right on Windows unless the
current session had serviced at least one SIGHUP. Therefore, arrange to
re-read the files when pg_show_all_settings() is called. This requires
only minor refactoring so that we can pass changeVal = false to
set_config_option() so that it won't actually apply any changes locally.
In addition, add error reporting so that errors that would prevent the
configuration files from being loaded, or would prevent individual settings
from being applied, are visible directly in the view. This makes the view
usable for pre-testing whether edits made in the config files will have the
desired effect, before one actually issues a SIGHUP.
I also added an "applied" column so that it's easy to identify entries that
are superseded by later entries; this was the main use-case for the original
design, but it seemed unnecessarily hard to use for that.
Also fix a 9.4.1 regression that allowed multiple entries for a
PGC_POSTMASTER variable to cause bogus complaints in the postmaster log.
(The issue here was that commit bf007a27acd7b2fb unintentionally reverted
3e3f65973a3c94a6, which suppressed any duplicate entries within
ParseConfigFp. However, since the original coding of the pg_file_settings
view depended on such suppression *not* happening, we couldn't have fixed
this issue now without first doing something with pg_file_settings.
Now we suppress duplicates by marking them "ignored" within
ProcessConfigFileInternal, which doesn't hide them in the view.)
Lesser changes include:
Drive the view directly off the ConfigVariable list, instead of making a
basically-equivalent second copy of the data. There's no longer any need
to hang onto the data permanently, anyway.
Convert show_all_file_settings() to do its work in one call and return a
tuplestore; this avoids risks associated with assuming that the GUC state
will hold still over the course of query execution. (I think there were
probably latent bugs here, though you might need something like a cursor
on the view to expose them.)
Arrange to run SIGHUP processing in a short-lived memory context, to
forestall process-lifespan memory leaks. (There is one known leak in this
code, in ProcessConfigDirectory; it seems minor enough to not be worth
back-patching a specific fix for.)
Remove mistaken assignment to ConfigFileLineno that caused line counting
after an include_dir directive to be completely wrong.
Add missed failure check in AlterSystemSetConfigFile(). We don't really
expect ParseConfigFp() to fail, but that's not an excuse for not checking.

When archive recovery and restartpoints were initially introduced,
checkpoint_segments was ignored on the grounds that the files restored from
archive don't consume any space in the recovery server. That was changed in
later releases, but even then it was arguably a feature rather than a bug,
as performing restartpoints as often as checkpoints during normal operation
might be excessive, but you might nevertheless not want to waste a lot of
space for pre-allocated WAL by setting checkpoint_segments to a high value.
But now that we have separate min_wal_size and max_wal_size settings, you
can bound WAL usage with max_wal_size, and still avoid consuming excessive
space usage by setting min_wal_size to a lower value, so that argument is
moot.
There are still some issues with actually limiting the space usage to
max_wal_size: restartpoints in recovery can only start after seeing the
checkpoint record, while a checkpoint starts flushing buffers as soon as
the redo-pointer is set. Restartpoint is paced to happen at the same
leisurily speed, determined by checkpoint_completion_target, as checkpoints,
but because they are started later, max_wal_size can be exceeded by upto
one checkpoint cycle's worth of WAL, depending on
checkpoint_completion_target. But that seems better than not trying at all,
and max_wal_size is a soft limit anyway.
The documentation already claimed that max_wal_size is obeyed in recovery,
so this just fixes the behaviour to match the docs. However, add some
weasel-words there to mention that max_wal_size may well be exceeded by
some amount in recovery.

Oops. I could swear I built the docs before pushing, but I guess not..

This makes it possible to use the functions without getting errors, if there
is a chance that the file might be removed or renamed concurrently.
pg_rewind needs to do just that, although this could be useful for other
purposes too. (The changes to pg_rewind to use these functions will come in
a separate commit.)
The read_binary_file() function isn't very well-suited for extensions.c's
purposes anymore, if it ever was. So bite the bullet and make a copy of it
in extension.c, tailored for that use case. This seems better than the
accidental code reuse, even if it's a some more lines of code.
Michael Paquier, with plenty of kibitzing by me.

Allow CustomPath to have a list of paths, CustomPlan a list of plans,
and CustomPlanState a list of planstates known to the core system, so
that custom path/plan providers can more reasonably use this
infrastructure for nodes with multiple children.

Of course, what it removes is leading zeroes. Seems to have been a thinko
in commit ffe92d15d53625d5ae0c23f4e1984ed43614a33d. Noted by Hubert Depesz
Lubaczewski.

Some of the entries in the inclusion opclasses where missing operators,
and we had an entry for inet_inclusion_ops instead of
network_inclusion_ops. Sort the operators within each opclass by
strategy number, just to make it easier to spot mistakes.
Also sort the rows by data type name, rather than OID.

This adjusts commit 82233ce7ea42d6ba519aaec63008aff49da6c7af so that the
postmaster does not exit until all its child processes have exited, even
if the 5-second timeout elapses and we have to send SIGKILL. There is no
great value in having the postmaster process quit sooner, and doing so can
mislead onlookers into thinking that the cluster is fully terminated when
actually some child processes still survive.
This effect might explain recent test failures on buildfarm member hamster,
wherein we failed to restart a cluster just after shutting it down with
"pg_ctl stop -m immediate".
I also did a bit of code review/beautification, including fixing a faulty
use of the Max() macro on a volatile expression.
Back-patch to 9.4. In older branches, the postmaster never waited for
children to exit during immediate shutdowns, and changing that would be
too much of a behavioral change.

System catalogs and views should be listed alphabetically
in catalog.sgml, but only pg_file_settings view not.
This patch also fixes typos in pg_file_settings comments.

Following recent discussion on -hackers. The underlying function is
also renamed to jsonb_delete_path. The regression tests now don't need
ugly type casts to avoid the ambiguity, so they are also removed.
Catalog version bumped.
