pg_import_system_collations() refused to create any ICU collations if
the current database's encoding didn't support ICU. This is wrongheaded:
initdb must initialize pg_collation in an encoding-independent way
since it might be used in other databases with different encodings.
The reason for the restriction seems to be that get_icu_locale_comment()
used icu_from_uchar() to convert the UChar-format display name, and that
unsurprisingly doesn't know what to do in unsupported encodings.
But by the same token that the initial catalog contents must be
encoding-independent, we can't allow non-ASCII characters in the comment
strings. So we don't really need icu_from_uchar() here: just check for
Unicode codes outside the ASCII range, and if there are none, the format
conversion is trivial. If there are some, we can simply not install the
comment. (In my testing, this affects only Norwegian Bokmål, which has
given us trouble before.)
For paranoia's sake, also check for non-ASCII characters in ICU locale
names, and skip such locales, as we do for libc locales. I don't
currently have a reason to believe that this will ever reject anything,
but then again the libc maintainers should have known better too.
With just the import changes, ICU collations can be found in pg_collation
in databases with unsupported encodings. This resulted in more or less
clean failures at runtime, but that's not how things act for unsupported
encodings with libc collations. Make it work the same as our traditional
behavior for libc collations by having collation lookup take into account
whether is_encoding_supported_by_icu().
Adjust documentation to match. Also, expand Table 23.1 to show which
encodings are supported by ICU.
catversion bump because of likely change in pg_collation/pg_description
initial contents in ICU-enabled builds.

The comparison with the target rows on the subscriber side was done with
datumIsEqual(), which can have false negatives. For instance, it didn't
work reliably for text columns. So use the equality operator provided
by the type cache instead.
Also add more user documentation about replica identity requirements.

Marco Atzeri reported that initdb would fail if "locale -a" reported
the same locale name more than once. All previous versions of Postgres
implicitly de-duplicated the results of "locale -a", but the rewrite
to move the collation import logic into C had lost that property.
It had also lost the property that locale names matching built-in
collation names were silently ignored.
The simplest way to fix this is to make initdb run the function in
if-not-exists mode, which means that there's no real use-case for
non if-not-exists mode; we might as well just drop the boolean argument
and simplify the function's definition to be "add any collations not
already known". This change also gets rid of some odd corner cases
caused by the fact that aliases were added in if-not-exists mode even
if the function argument said otherwise.
While at it, adjust the behavior so that pg_import_system_collations()
doesn't spew "collation foo already exists, skipping" messages during a
re-run; that's completely unhelpful, especially since there are often
hundreds of them. And make it return a count of the number of collations
it did add, which seems like it might be helpful.
Also, re-integrate the previous coding's property that it would make a
deterministic selection of which alias to use if there were conflicting
possibilities. This would only come into play if "locale -a" reports
multiple equivalent locale names, say "de_DE.utf8" and "de_DE.UTF-8",
but that hardly seems out of the question.
In passing, fix incorrect behavior in pg_import_system_collations()'s
ICU code path: it neglected CommandCounterIncrement, which would result
in failures if ICU returns duplicate names, and it would try to create
comments even if a new collation hadn't been created.
Also, reorder operations in initdb so that the 'ucs_basic' collation
is created before calling pg_import_system_collations() not after.
This prevents a failure if "locale -a" were to report a locale named
that. There's no reason to think that that ever happens in the wild,
but the old coding would have survived it, so let's be equally robust.

Previously we required every exported transaction to have an xid
assigned. That was used to check that the exporting transaction is
still running, which in turn is needed to guarantee that that
necessary rows haven't been removed in between exporting and importing
the snapshot.
The exported xid caused unnecessary problems with logical decoding,
because slot creation has to wait for all concurrent xid to finish,
which in turn serializes concurrent slot creation. It also
prohibited snapshots to be exported on hot-standby replicas.
Instead export the virtual transactionid, which avoids the unnecessary
serialization and the inability to export snapshots on standbys. This
changes the file name of the exported snapshot, but since we never
documented what that one means, that seems ok.

When we reimplemented SRFs in commit 69f4b9c85, our initial choice was
to allow the behavior to vary from historical practice in cases where a
SRF call appeared within a conditional-execution construct (currently,
only CASE or COALESCE). But that was controversial to begin with, and
subsequent discussion has resulted in a consensus that it's better to
throw an error instead of executing the query differently from before,
so long as we can provide a reasonably clear error message and a way to
rewrite the query.
Hence, add a parser mechanism to allow detection of such cases during
parse analysis. The mechanism just requires storing, in the ParseState,
a pointer to the set-returning FuncExpr or OpExpr most recently emitted
by parse analysis. Then the parsing functions for CASE and COALESCE can
detect the presence of a SRF in their arguments by noting whether this
pointer changes while analyzing their arguments. Furthermore, if it does,
it provides a suitable error cursor location for the complaint. (This
means that if there's more than one SRF in the arguments, the error will
point at the last one to be analyzed not the first. While connoisseurs of
parsing behavior might find that odd, it's unlikely the average user would
ever notice.)
While at it, we can also provide more specific error messages than before
about some pre-existing restrictions, such as no-SRFs-within-aggregates.
Also, reject at parse time cases where a NULLIF or IS DISTINCT FROM
construct would need to return a set. We've never supported that, but the
restriction is depended on in more subtle ways now, so it seems wise to
detect it at the start.
Also, provide some documentation about how to rewrite a SRF-within-CASE
query using a custom wrapper SRF.
It turns out that the information_schema.user_mapping_options view
contained an instance of exactly the behavior we're now forbidding; but
rewriting it makes it more clear and safer too.
initdb forced because of user_mapping_options change.

Clarify in the syntax synopsis that partition bound values must be
exactly numeric literals or string literals; previously it

Consistent with what we do for indexes, we shouldn't try to record
dependencies on collation OID 0 or the default collation OID (which
is pinned). Also, the fact that indcollation and partcollation can
contain zero OIDs when the data type is not collatable should be
documented.

When the checkpointer writes the shutdown checkpoint, it checks
afterwards whether any WAL has been written since it started and
throws a PANIC if so. At that point, only walsenders are still
active, so one might think this could not happen, but walsenders can
also generate WAL, for instance in BASE_BACKUP and logical decoding
related commands (e.g. via hint bits). So they can trigger this panic
if such a command is run while the shutdown checkpoint is being
written.
To fix this, divide the walsender shutdown into two phases. First,
checkpointer, itself triggered by postmaster, sends a
PROCSIG_WALSND_INIT_STOPPING signal to all walsenders. If the backend
is idle or runs an SQL query this causes the backend to shutdown, if
logical replication is in progress all existing WAL records are
processed followed by a shutdown. Otherwise this causes the walsender
to switch to the "stopping" state. In this state, the walsender will
reject any further replication commands. The checkpointer begins the
shutdown checkpoint once all walsenders are confirmed as
stopping. When the shutdown checkpoint finishes, the postmaster sends
us SIGUSR2. This instructs walsender to send any outstanding WAL,
including the shutdown checkpoint record, wait for it to be replicated
to the standby, and then exit.

Previously the changes to the "data" part of the sequence, i.e. the
one containing the current value, were not transactional, whereas the
definition, including minimum and maximum value were. That leads to
odd behaviour if a schema change is rolled back, with the potential
that out-of-bound sequence values can be returned.
To avoid the issue create a new relfilenode fork whenever ALTER
SEQUENCE is executed, similar to how TRUNCATE ... RESTART IDENTITY
already is already handled.
This commit also makes ALTER SEQUENCE RESTART transactional, as it
seems to be too confusing to have some forms of ALTER SEQUENCE behave
transactionally, some forms not. This way setval() and nextval() are
not transactional, but DDL is, which seems to make sense.
This commit also rolls back parts of the changes made in 3d092fe540
and f8dc1985f as they're now not needed anymore.

On some platforms, -fpic fails for sufficiently large shared libraries.
We've mostly not hit that boundary yet, but there are some extensions
such as Citus and pglogical where it's becoming a problem. A bit of
research suggests that the penalty for -fPIC is small, in the
single-digit-percentage range --- and there's none at all on popular
platforms such as x86_64. So let's just default to -fPIC everywhere
and provide one less thing for extension developers to worry about.
Per complaint from Christoph Berg. Back-patch to all supported branches.
(I did not bother to touch the recently-removed Makefiles for sco and
unixware in the back branches, though. We'd have no way to test that
it doesn't break anything on those platforms.)

pg_resetwal (formerly pg_resetxlog) doesn't insist on finding a matching
version number in pg_control, and that seems like an important thing to
preserve since recovering from corrupt pg_control is a prime reason to
need to run it. However, that means you can try to run it against a
data directory of a different major version, which is at best useless
and at worst disastrous. So as to provide some protection against that
type of pilot error, inspect PG_VERSION at startup and refuse to do
anything if it doesn't match. PG_VERSION is read-only after initdb,
so it's unlikely to get corrupted, and even if it were corrupted it would
be easy to fix by hand.
This hazard has been there all along, so back-patch to all supported
branches.
