IsIndexUsableForReplicaIdentityFull() described a number of conditions
that a suitable index has to fulfill. But not all of these were
actually checked in the code. Instead, it appeared to rely on
get_equal_strategy_number() to filter out any indexes that are not
btree or hash. As we look to generalize index AM capabilities, this
would possibly break if we added additional support in
get_equal_strategy_number(). Instead, write out code to check for the
required capabilities explicitly. This shouldn't change any behaviors
at the moment.

get_equal_strategy_number_for_am() gets the equal strategy number for
an AM. This currently only supports btree and hash. In the more
general case, this also depends on the operator class (see for example
GistTranslateStratnum()). To support that, replace this function with
get_equal_strategy_number() that takes an opclass and derives it from
there. (This function already existed before as a static function, so
the signature is kept for simplicity.)
This patch is only a refactoring, it doesn't add support for other
index AMs such as gist. This will be done separately.

Our parallel-mode code only works when we are executing a query
in full, so ExecutePlan must disable parallel mode when it is
asked to do partial execution. The previous logic for this
involved passing down a flag (variously named execute_once or
run_once) from callers of ExecutorRun or PortalRun. This is
overcomplicated, and unsurprisingly some of the callers didn't
get it right, since it requires keeping state that not all of
them have handy; not to mention that the requirements for it were
undocumented. That led to assertion failures in some corner
cases. The only state we really need for this is the existing
QueryDesc.already_executed flag, so let's just put all the
responsibility in ExecutePlan. (It could have been done in
ExecutorRun too, leading to a slightly shorter patch -- but if
there's ever more than one caller of ExecutePlan, it seems better
to have this logic in the subroutine than the callers.)
This makes those ExecutorRun/PortalRun parameters unnecessary.
In master it seems okay to just remove them, returning the
API for those functions to what it was before parallelism.
Such an API break is clearly not okay in stable branches,
but for them we can just leave the parameters in place after
documenting that they do nothing.

When pulling up a lateral subquery that is under an outer join, the
current code always wraps a Var or PHV in the subquery's targetlist
into a new PlaceHolderVar if it is a lateral reference to something
outside the subquery. This is necessary when the Var/PHV references
the non-nullable side of the outer join from the nullable side: we
need to ensure that it is evaluated at the right place and hence is
forced to null when the outer join should do so. However, if the
referenced rel is under the same lowest nulling outer join, we can
actually omit the wrapping. That's safe because if the subquery
variable is forced to NULL by the outer join, the lateral reference
variable will come out as NULL too. It could be beneficial to get rid
of such PHVs because they imply lateral dependencies, which force us
to resort to nestloop joins.
This patch leverages the newly introduced nullingrel_info to check if
the nullingrels of the subquery RTE are a subset of those of the
laterally referenced rel, in order to determine if the referenced rel
is under the same lowest nulling outer join.
No backpatch as this could result in plan changes.

The pgoutput module caches publication names in a list and frees it upon
invalidation. However, the code forgot to free the actual publication
names within the list elements, as publication names are pstrdup()'d in
GetPublication(). This would cause memory to leak in
CacheMemoryContext, bloating it over time as this context is not
cleaned.
This is a problem for WAL senders running for a long time, as an
accumulation of invalidation requests would bloat its cache memory
usage. A second case, where this leak is easier to see, involves a
backend calling SQL functions like pg_logical_slot_{get,peek}_changes()
which create a new decoding context with each execution. More
publications create more bloat.
To address this, this commit adds a new memory context within the
logical decoding context and resets it each time the publication names
cache is invalidated, based on a suggestion from Amit Kapila. This
ensures that the lifespan of the publication names aligns with that of
the logical decoding context.
This solution changes PGOutputData, which is fine for HEAD but it could
cause an ABI breakage in stable branches as the structure size would
change, so these are left out for now.

818119afccd3 has introduced the "generation" concept in pgstats entries,
incremented a counter when a pgstats entry is reinitialized, but it did
not count on the fact that backends still holding local references to
such entries need to be refreshed if the cache age is outdated. The
previous logic only updated local references when an entry was dropped,
but it needs also to consider entries that are reinitialized.
This matters for replication slot stats (as well as custom pgstats kinds
in 18~), where concurrent drops and creates of a slot could cause
incorrect stats to be locally referenced. This would lead to an
assertion failure at shutdown when writing out the stats file, as the
backend holding an outdated local reference would not be able to drop
during its shutdown sequence the stats entry that should be dropped, as
the last process holding a reference to the stats entry. The
checkpointer was then complaining about such an entry late in the
shutdown sequence, after the shutdown checkpoint is finished with the
control file updated, causing the stats file to not be generated. In
non-assert builds, the entry would just be skipped with the stats file
written.
Note that only logical replication slots use statistics.
A test case based on TAP is added to test_decoding, where a persistent
connection peeking at a slot's data is kept with concurrent drops and
creates of the same slot. This is based on the isolation test case that
Anton has sent. As it requires a node shutdown with a check to make
sure that the stats file is written with this specific sequence of
events, TAP is used instead.

When short-circuiting WindowAgg node evaluation on the top-level
WindowAgg node using quals on monotonic window functions, because the
WindowAgg run condition can mean there's no need to evaluate subsequent
window function results in the same partition once the run condition
becomes false, it was possible that the executor would use stale results
from the previous invocation of the window function in some cases.
A fix for this was partially done by a5832722, but that commit only
fixed the issue for non-top-level WindowAgg nodes. I mistakenly thought
that the top-level WindowAgg didn't have this issue, but Jayesh's example
case clearly shows that's incorrect. At the time, I also thought that
this only affected 32-bit systems as all window functions which then
supported run conditions returned BIGINT, however, that's wrong as
ExecProject is still called and that could cause evaluation of any other
window function belonging to the same WindowAgg node, one of which may
return a byref type.
The only queries affected by this are WindowAggs with a "Run Condition"
which contains at least one window function with a byref result type,
such as lead() or lag() on a byref column. The window clause must also
contain a PARTITION BY clause (without a PARTITION BY, execution of the
WindowAgg stops immediately when the run condition becomes false and
there's no risk of using the stale results).

Backpatch-through: 15, where WindowAgg run conditions were added
Usually an entry in pg_amop or pg_amproc does not need a dependency on
its amoplefttype/amoprighttype/amproclefttype/amprocrighttype types,
because there is an indirect dependency via the argument types of its
referenced operator or procedure, or via the opclass it belongs to.
However, for some support procedures in some index AMs, the argument
types of the support procedure might not mention the column data type
at all. Also, the amop/amproc entry might be treated as "loose" in
the opfamily, in which case it lacks a dependency on any particular
opclass; or it might be a cross-type entry having a reference to a
datatype that is not its opclass' opcintype.
The upshot of all this is that there are cases where a datatype can
be dropped while leaving behind amop/amproc entries that mention it,
because there is no path in pg_depend showing that those entries
depend on that type. Such entries are harmless in normal activity,
because they won't get used, but they cause problems for maintenance
actions such as dropping the operator family. They also cause pg_dump
to produce bogus output. The previous commit put a band-aid on the
DROP OPERATOR FAMILY failure, but a real fix is needed.
To fix, add pg_depend entries showing that a pg_amop/pg_amproc entry
depends on its lefttype/righttype. To avoid bloating pg_depend too
much, skip this if the referenced operator or function has that type
as an input type. (I did not bother with considering the possible
indirect dependency via the opclass' opcintype; at least in the
reported case, that wouldn't help anyway.)
Probably, the reason this has escaped notice for so long is that
add-on datatypes and relevant opclasses/opfamilies are usually
packaged as extensions nowadays, so that there's no way to drop
a type without dropping the referencing opclasses/opfamilies too.
Still, in the absence of pg_depend entries there's nothing that
constrains DROP EXTENSION to drop the opfamily entries before the
datatype, so it seems possible for a DROP failure to occur anyway.
The specific case that was reported doesn't fail in v13, because
v13 prefers to attach the support procedure to the opclass not the
opfamily. But it's surely possible to construct other edge cases
that do fail in v13, so patch that too.

Yoran Heling reported a case where a data type could be dropped
while references to its OID remain behind in pg_amproc. This
causes getObjectDescription to fail, which blocks dropping the
operator family (since our DROP code likes to construct descriptions
of everything it's dropping). The proper fix for this requires
adding more pg_depend entries. But to allow DROP to go through with
already-corrupt catalogs, tweak getObjectDescription to print "???"
for the type instead of failing when it processes such an entry.
I changed the logic for pg_amop similarly, for consistency,
although it is not known that the problem can manifest in pg_amop.

Prior to that commit, there was special case to use ASCII case mapping
behavior for the libc provider with a single-byte encoding when that's
the default collation. Commit e9931bfb75 mistakenly eliminated that
special case; this commit restores it.

The new compact_attrs array stores a few select fields from
FormData_pg_attribute in a more compact way, using only 16 bytes per
column instead of the 104 bytes that FormData_pg_attribute uses. Using
CompactAttribute allows performance-critical operations such as tuple
deformation to be performed without looking at the FormData_pg_attribute
element in TupleDesc which means fewer cacheline accesses. With this
change, NAMEDATALEN could be increased with a much smaller negative impact
on performance.
For some workloads, tuple deformation can be the most CPU intensive part
of processing the query. Some testing with 16 columns on a table
where the first column is variable length showed around a 10% increase in
transactions per second for an OLAP type query performing aggregation on
the 16th column. However, in certain cases, the increases were much
higher, up to ~25% on one AMD Zen4 machine.
This also makes pg_attribute.attcacheoff redundant. A follow-on commit
will remove it, thus shrinking the FormData_pg_attribute struct by 4
bytes.
