The following renaming is done so as source files related to index
access methods are more consistent with table access methods (the
original names used for index AMs ware too generic, and could be
confused as including features related to table AMs):
- amapi.h -> indexam.h.
- amapi.c -> indexamapi.c. Here we have an equivalent with
backend/access/table/tableamapi.c.
- amvalidate.c -> indexamvalidate.c.
- amvalidate.h -> indexamvalidate.h.
- genam.c -> indexgenam.c.
- genam.h -> indexgenam.h.
This has been discussed during the development of v12 when table AM was
worked on, but the renaming never happened.

Backpatch-through: certain files through 9.4

Historically, the term procedure was used as a synonym for function in
Postgres/PostgreSQL. Now we have procedures as separate objects from
functions, so we need to clean up the documentation to not mix those
terms.
In particular, mentions of "trigger procedures" are changed to "trigger
functions", and access method "support procedures" are changed to
"support functions". (The latter already used FUNCTION in the SQL
syntax anyway.) Also, the terminology in the SPI chapter has been
cleaned up.
A few tests, examples, and code comments are also adjusted to be
consistent with documentation changes, but not everything.

There are common use-cases in which the compress and/or decompress
functions can be omitted, with the result being that we make no
data transformation when storing or retrieving index values.
Previously, you had to provide a no-op function anyway, but this
patch allows such opclass support functions to be omitted.
Furthermore, if the compress function is omitted, then the core code
knows that the stored representation is the same as the original data.
This means we can allow index-only scans without requiring a fetch
function to be provided either. Previously you had to provide a
no-op fetch function if you wanted IOS to work.
This reportedly provides a small performance benefit in such cases,
but IMO the real reason for doing it is just to reduce the amount of
useless boilerplate code that has to be written for GiST opclasses.

This is just to have a clean base state for testing of Piotr Stefaniak's
latest version of FreeBSD indent. I fixed up a couple of places where
pgindent would have changed format not-nicely. perltidy not included.

Remove some gratuituous message differences by making the AM name
previously embedded in each message be a %s instead. While at it, get
rid of terminology that's unclear and unnecessary in one message.

This avoids that builtins.h has to include additional header files.

Given the limited range of i, these shifts should not cause any
problem, but that apparently doesn't stop some compilers from
whining about them.

The amvalidate functions added in commit 65c5fcd353a859da were on the
crude side. Improve them in a few ways:
* Perform signature checking for operators and support functions.
* Apply more thorough checks for missing operators and functions,
where possible.
* Instead of reporting problems as ERRORs, report most problems as INFO
messages and make the amvalidate function return FALSE. This allows
more than one problem to be discovered per run.
* Report object names rather than OIDs, and work a bit harder on making
the messages understandable.
Also, remove a few more opr_sanity regression test queries that are
now superseded by the amvalidate checks.

This patch reduces pg_am to just two columns, a name and a handler
function. All the data formerly obtained from pg_am is now provided
in a C struct returned by the handler function. This is similar to
the designs we've adopted for FDWs and tablesample methods. There
are multiple advantages. For one, the index AM's support functions
are now simple C functions, making them faster to call and much less
error-prone, since the C compiler can now check function signatures.
For another, this will make it far more practical to define index access
methods in installable extensions.
A disadvantage is that SQL-level code can no longer see attributes
of index AMs; in particular, some of the crosschecks in the opr_sanity
regression test are no longer possible from SQL. We've addressed that
by adding a facility for the index AM to perform such checks instead.
(Much more could be done in that line, but for now we're content if the
amvalidate functions more or less replace what opr_sanity used to do.)
We might also want to expose some sort of reporting functionality, but
this patch doesn't do that.
