There are a lot of Perl scripts in the tree, mostly code generation
and TAP tests. Occasionally, these scripts produce warnings. These
are probably always mistakes on the developer side (true positives).
Typical examples are warnings from genbki.pl or related when you make
a mess in the catalog files during development, or warnings from tests
when they massage a config file that looks different on different
hosts, or mistakes during merges (e.g., duplicate subroutine
definitions), or just mistakes that weren't noticed because there is a
lot of output in a verbose build.
This changes all warnings into fatal errors, by replacing
use warnings;
by
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
in all Perl files.

mamba has detected a failure in the last test that should start a
bgworker while bypassing the role login check. The buildfarm did not
provide any information about its failure in the logs, but I suspect
that this is caused by an exhaustion of the max_worker_processes slots
set at 8 by default.
In "normal" test runs, the number of bgworkers running at this stage of
the test is already 7, so, if one of them spawns for example a parallel
worker all the slots would be taken, preventing the last worker of the
test to start.

This adds a new option called BGWORKER_BYPASS_ROLELOGINCHECK to the
flags available to BackgroundWorkerInitializeConnection() and
BackgroundWorkerInitializeConnectionByOid().
This gives the possibility to bgworkers to bypass the role login check,
making possible the use of a role that has no login rights while not
being a superuser. PostgresInit() gains a new flag called
INIT_PG_OVERRIDE_ROLE_LOGIN, taking advantage of the refactoring done in
4800a5dfb4c4.
Regression tests are added to worker_spi to check the behavior of this
new option with bgworkers.

worker_spi_launch() may report that a worker stopped when it fails to
connect on a database that does not allow connections if the worker
exits before the SQL function checks for the current status of the
worker. The test is switched to use Cluster::psql instead of
safe_psql() so as it does not fail hard when this query errors. While
on it, this removes a query that looks at pg_stat_activity to simplify
the test, as a check on the contents of the server logs achieves the
same when the worker cannot connect to the database without
datallowconn.
Per buildfarm members kestrel, mamba and serinus. Bonus thanks to Tom
Lane for providing the logs of the failure from mamba that the buildfarm
was not able to show up. Note that I have reproduced the failure with a
hardcoded stop point.

This bgworker flag exists in the core code since eed1ce72e159, but was
never tested. This relies on 4f2994647ff1, that has added a way to
start dynamic workers with this flag enabled.

A couple of new options are added to this module to provide more control
on the ways bgworkers are started:
- A new GUC called worker_spi.role to control which role to use by
default when starting a worker.
- worker_spi_launch() gains three arguments: a role OID, a database OID
and flags (currently only BGWORKER_BYPASS_ALLOWCONN). By default, the
role OID and the database OID are InvalidOid, in which case the worker
would use the related GUCs.
Workers loaded by shared_preload_libraries use the default values
provided by the GUCs, with flags at 0. The options are given to the
main bgworker routine through bgw_extra. A test case is tweaked to
start two dynamic workers with databases and roles defined by the caller
of worker_spi_launch().
These additions will have the advantage of expanding the tests for
bgworkers, for at least two cases:
- BGWORKER_BYPASS_ALLOWCONN has no coverage in the core tree.
- A new bgworker flag is under discussion, and this eases the
integration of new tests.

This naming is more consistent with all the other user-facing wait event
strings. Other in-core modules will use the same naming convention, so
let's be consistent here as well.

This new view, wrapped around a SRF, shows some information known about
wait events, as of:
- Name.
- Type (Activity, I/O, Extension, etc.).
- Description.
All the information retrieved comes from wait_event_names.txt, and the
description is the same as the documentation with filters applied to
remove any XML markups. This view is useful when joined with
pg_stat_activity to get the description of a wait event reported.
Custom wait events for extensions are included in the view.

Currently, the names of the custom wait event must be registered for
each backend, requiring all these to link to the shared memory area of
an extension, even if these are not loaded with
shared_preload_libraries.
This patch relaxes the constraints related to this infrastructure by
storing the wait events and their names in two dynamic hash tables in
shared memory. This has the advantage to simplify the registration of
custom wait events to a single routine call that returns an event ID
ready for consumption:
uint32 WaitEventExtensionNew(const char *wait_event_name);
The caller of this routine can then cache locally the ID returned, to be
used for pgstat_report_wait_start(), WaitLatch() or a similar routine.
The implementation uses two hash tables: one with a key based on the
event name to avoid duplicates and a second using the event ID as key
for event lookups, like on pg_stat_activity. These tables can hold a
minimum of 16 entries, and a maximum of 128 entries, which should be plenty
enough.
The code changes done in worker_spi show how things are simplified (most
of the code removed in this commit comes from there):
- worker_spi_init() is gone.
- No more shared memory hooks required (size requested and
initialization).
- The custom wait event ID is cached in the process that needs to set
it, with one single call to WaitEventExtensionNew() to retrieve it.
Per suggestion from Andres Freund.

Two backend routines are added to allow extension to allocate and define
custom wait events, all of these being allocated in the type
"Extension":
* WaitEventExtensionNew(), that allocates a wait event ID computed from
a counter in shared memory.
* WaitEventExtensionRegisterName(), to associate a custom string to the
wait event ID allocated.
Note that this includes an example of how to use this new facility in
worker_spi with tests in TAP for various scenarios, and some
documentation about how to use them.
Any code in the tree that currently uses WAIT_EVENT_EXTENSION could
switch to this new facility to define custom wait events. This is left
as work for future patches.

The second portion of the tests had a race condition where it would be
possible for the startup of the dynamic workers to fail, in the event
where the static workers started before them with the library loading in
shared_preload_libraries did not finish to create their respective
schemas. The conflict is caused by the fact that the dynamic and static
workers used the same IDs, overlapping each other, so, for now, switch
the dynamic workers to use different IDs, leading to different schemas
created.

This commit moves worker_spi to use TAP tests. sql/worker_spi.sql is
gone, replaced by an equivalent set of queries in a TAP script, without
worker_spi loaded in shared_preload_libraries:
- One query to launch a worker dynamically, relying now on "postgres" as
the default database to connect to.
- Two wait queries with poll_query_until(), one to wait for the worker
schema to be initialized and a second to wait for a tuple processed by
the worker.
- Server reload to accelerate the main loop of the spawned worker.
More coverage is added for workers registered when the library is loaded
with shared_preload_libraries, while on it, checking that these are
connecting to the database set in the GUC worker_spi.database.
A local run of these test is showing that TAP is slightly faster than
the original, while providing more coverage (3.7s vs 4.4s). There was
also some discussions about keeping the SQL tests, but this would
require initializing twice a cluster, increasing the runtime of the
tests up to 5.6s here.
These tests will be expanded more in an upcoming patch aimed at adding
support for custom wait events for the Extension class, still under
discussion, to check the new in-core APIs with and without a library set
in shared_preload_libraries.
Bharath has written the part where shared_preload_libraries is used,
while I have migrated the existing SQL tests to TAP.
