Rationalize and document pltcl's handling of magic ".tupno" array element.
For a very long time, pltcl's spi_exec and spi_execp commands have had
a behavior of storing the current row number as an element of output
arrays, but this was never documented. Fix that.
For an equally long time, pltcl_trigger_handler had a behavior of silently
ignoring ".tupno" as an output column name, evidently so that the result
of spi_exec could be used directly as a trigger result tuple. Not sure
how useful that really is, but in any case it's bad that it would break
attempts to use ".tupno" as an actual column name. We can fix it by not
checking for ".tupno" until after we check for a column name match. This
comports with the effective behavior of spi_exec[p] that ".tupno" is only
magic when you don't have an actual column named that.
In passing, wordsmith the description of returning modified tuples from
a pltcl trigger.
Noted while working on Jim Nasby's patch to support composite results

Go back to the previous solution, ie, remove the useless comparison
to SIZE_MAX. (In principle, there could be machines out there where
it's not useless because ptrdiff_t is wider than size_t. But the whole

Sync our copy of the timezone library with IANA tzcode
This patch absorbs some unreleased fixes for symlink manipulation bugs
introduced in tzcode 2016g. Ordinarily I'd wait around for a released
version, but in this case it seems like we could do with extra testing,

Per a report from Sandeep Thakkar, building in an environment where hard
links are not supported in the timezone data installation directory failed,
because upstream code refactoring had broken the case of symlinking from an
existing symlink. Further experimentation also showed that the symlinks
were sometimes made incorrectly, with too many or too few "../"'s in the
symlink contents.

Fix nasty performance problem in tsquery_rewrite().
tsquery_rewrite() tries to find matches to subsets of AND/OR conditions;
for example, in the query 'a | b | c' the substitution subquery 'a | c'
should match and lead to replacement of the first and third items.
That's fine, but the matching algorithm apparently takes about O(2^N)
for an N-clause query (I say "apparently" because the code is also both
unintelligible and uncommented). We could probably do better than that
even without any extra assumptions --- but actually, we know that the
subclauses are sorted, indeed are depending on that elsewhere in this very
same function. So we can just scan the two lists a single time to detect
matches, as though we were doing a merge join.
Also do a re-flattening call (QTNTernary()) in tsquery_rewrite_query, just
to make sure that the tree fits the expectations of the next search cycle.
I didn't try to devise a test case for this, but I'm pretty sure that the
oversight could have led to failure to match in some cases where a match
would be expected.

Avoid testing tuple visibility without buffer lock in RI_FKey_check().
Despite the argumentation I wrote in commit
7a2fe85b0, it's unsafe to do
this, because in corner cases it's possible for HeapTupleSatisfiesSelf
to try to set hint bits on the target tuple; and at least since 8.2 we
have required the buffer content lock to be held while setting hint bits.
The added regression test exercises one such corner case. Unpatched, it
causes an assertion failure in assert-enabled builds, or otherwise would

reject slashes, which would run a bit faster. But the fact that this went

Fix WAL-logging of FSM and VM truncation.
When a relation is truncated, it is important that the FSM is truncated as
well. Otherwise, after recovery, the FSM can return a page that has been
truncated away, leading to errors like:
ERROR: could not read block 28991 in file "base/16390/572026": read only 0

We were using MarkBufferDirtyHint() to dirty the buffer holding the last
remaining page of the FSM, but during recovery, that might in fact not
dirty the page, and the FSM update might be lost.
To fix, use the stronger MarkBufferDirty() function. MarkBufferDirty()
requires us to do WAL-logging ourselves, to protect from a torn page, if
checksumming is enabled.
Also fix an oversight in visibilitymap_truncate: it also needs to WAL-log
when checksumming is enabled.

Fix two bugs in merging of inherited CHECK constraints.
Historically, we've allowed users to add a CHECK constraint to a child
table and then add an identical CHECK constraint to the parent. This
results in "merging" the two constraints so that the pre-existing
child constraint ends up with both conislocal = true and coninhcount > 0.
However, if you tried to do it in the other order, you got a duplicate
constraint error. This is problematic for pg_dump, which needs to issue
separated ADD CONSTRAINT commands in some cases, but has no good way to
ensure that the constraints will be added in the required order.
And it's more than a bit arbitrary, too. The goal of complaining about
duplicated ADD CONSTRAINT commands can be served if we reject the case of
adding a constraint when the existing one already has conislocal = true;
but if it has conislocal = false, let's just make the ADD CONSTRAINT set
conislocal = true. In this way, either order of adding the constraints
has the same end result.
Another problem was that the code allowed creation of a parent constraint
marked convalidated that is merged with a child constraint that is
!convalidated. In this case, an inheritance scan of the parent table could
emit some rows violating the constraint condition, which would be an
unexpected result given the marking of the parent constraint as validated.
Hence, forbid merging of constraints in this case. (Note: valid child and
not-valid parent seems fine, so continue to allow that.)
Per report from Benedikt Grundmann. Back-patch to 9.2 where we introduced
possibly-not-valid check constraints. The second bug obviously doesn't
apply before that, and I think the first doesn't either, because pg_dump
only gets into this situation when dealing with not-valid constraints.
