Tom Lane 3c6248a828 Remove the recently added USE_SEGMENTED_FILES option, and indeed remove all
support for a nonsegmented mode from md.c.  Per recent discussions, there
doesn't seem to be much value in a "never segment" option as opposed to
segmenting with a suitably large segment size.  So instead provide a
configure-time switch to set the desired segment size in units of gigabytes.
While at it, expose a configure switch for BLCKSZ as well.

/*
* The magnetic disk storage manager keeps track of open file
* descriptors in its own descriptor pool. This is done to make it
* easier to support relations that are larger than the operating
* system's file size limit (often 2GBytes). In order to do that,
* we break relations up into "segment" files that are each shorter than
* the OS file size limit. The segment size is set by the RELSEG_SIZE
* configuration constant in pg_config.h.
*
* On disk, a relation must consist of consecutively numbered segment
* files in the pattern
* -- Zero or more full segments of exactly RELSEG_SIZE blocks each
* -- Exactly one partial segment of size 0 <= size < RELSEG_SIZE blocks
* -- Optionally, any number of inactive segments of size 0 blocks.
* The full and partial segments are collectively the "active" segments.
* Inactive segments are those that once contained data but are currently
* not needed because of an mdtruncate() operation. The reason for leaving
* them present at size zero, rather than unlinking them, is that other
* backends and/or the bgwriter might be holding open file references to
* such segments. If the relation expands again after mdtruncate(), such
* that a deactivated segment becomes active again, it is important that
* such file references still be valid --- else data might get written
* out to an unlinked old copy of a segment file that will eventually
* disappear.
*
* The file descriptor pointer (md_fd field) stored in the SMgrRelation
* cache is, therefore, just the head of a list of MdfdVec objects, one
* per segment. But note the md_fd pointer can be NULL, indicating
* relation not open.
*
* Also note that mdfd_chain == NULL does not necessarily mean the relation
* doesn't have another segment after this one; we may just not have
* opened the next segment yet. (We could not have "all segments are
* in the chain" as an invariant anyway, since another backend could
* extend the relation when we weren't looking.) We do not make chain
* entries for inactive segments, however; as soon as we find a partial
* segment, we assume that any subsequent segments are inactive.
*
* All MdfdVec objects are palloc'd in the MdCxt memory context.

* But if we didn't WAL-log insertions, but instead relied on fsyncing the
* file after populating it (as for instance CLUSTER and CREATE INDEX do),
* the contents of the file would be lost forever. By leaving the empty file
* until after the next checkpoint, we prevent reassignment of the relfilenode
* number until it's safe, because relfilenode assignment skips over any
* existing file.
*
* If isRedo is true, it's okay for the relation to be already gone.
