Use HTAB for replication slot statistics.
Previously, we used to use the array of size max_replication_slots to
store stats for replication slots. But that had two problems in the cases
where a message for dropping a slot gets lost: 1) the stats for the new
slot are not recorded if the array is full and 2) writing beyond the end
of the array if the user reduces the max_replication_slots.
This commit uses HTAB for replication slot statistics, resolving both
problems. Now, pgstat_vacuum_stat() search for all the dead replication
slots in stats hashtable and tell the collector to remove them. To avoid
showing the stats for the already-dropped slots, pg_stat_replication_slots
view searches slot stats by the slot name taken from pg_replication_slots.
Also, we send a message for creating a slot at slot creation, initializing
the stats. This reduces the possibility that the stats are accumulated

Remove rewriteTargetListIU's expansion of view targetlists in UPDATE.
Commit 2ec993a7c, which added triggers on views, modified the rewriter
to add dummy entries like "SET x = x" for all columns that weren't
actually being updated by the user in any UPDATE directed at a view.
That was needed at the time to produce a complete "NEW" row to pass
to the trigger. Later it was found to cause problems for ordinary
updatable views, so commit cab5dc5da restricted it to happen only for
trigger-updatable views. But in the wake of commit 86dc90056, we
really don't need it at all. nodeModifyTable.c populates the trigger
"OLD" row from the whole-row variable that is generated for the view,
and then it computes the "NEW" row using that old row and the UPDATE
targetlist. So there is no need for the UPDATE tlist to have dummy
entries, any more than it needs them for regular tables or other
types of views.
(The comments for rewriteTargetListIU suggest that we must do this
for correct expansion of NEW references in rules, but I now think
that that was just lazy comment editing in 2ec993a7c. If we didn't
need it for rules on views before there were triggers, we don't need
it after that.)
This essentially propagates 86dc90056's decision that we don't need
dummy column updates into the view case. Aside from making the
different cases more uniform and hence possibly forestalling future
bugs, it ought to save a little bit of rewriter/planner effort.

Fix relcache inconsistency hazard in partition detach
During queries coming from ri_triggers.c, we need to omit partitions
that are marked pending detach -- otherwise, the RI query is tricked
into allowing a row into the referencing table whose corresponding row
is in the detached partition. Which is bogus: once the detach operation
completes, the row becomes an orphan.
However, the code was not doing that in repeatable-read transactions,
because relcache kept a copy of the partition descriptor that included
the partition, and used it in the RI query. This commit changes the
partdesc cache code to only keep descriptors that aren't dependent on
a snapshot (namely: those where no detached partition exist, and those
where detached partitions are included). When a partdesc-without-
detached-partitions is requested, we create one afresh each time; also,
those partdescs are stored in PortalContext instead of
CacheMemoryContext.
find_inheritance_children gets a new output *detached_exist boolean,
which indicates whether any partition marked pending-detach is found.
Its "include_detached" input flag is changed to "omit_detached", because
that name captures desired the semantics more naturally.
CreatePartitionDirectory() and RelationGetPartitionDesc() arguments are
identically renamed.
This was noticed because a buildfarm member that runs with relcache
clobbering, which would not keep the improperly cached partdesc, broke
one test, which led us to realize that the expected output of that test
was bogus. This commit also corrects that expected output.

Fix relation leak for subscribers firing triggers in logical replication

We have discussed using ExecInitResultRelation() coupled with
ExecCloseResultRelations() for the relations in need of tracking by the

opening and closing of indexes, but this requires a larger rework and
reorganization of the worker code, particularly for the tuple routing

settle down to the same solution as TRUNCATE which is to fill in

determines which heap pages are truncatable. In both cases VACUUM is
concerned with the likely contents of the page in the near future, not
the current contents of the page.
This state of affairs created the false impression that VACUUM's dead

dates back to commit a96c41fe, which taught VACUUM to run without index

of record_eq and its siblings. (The previous coding at least gave an
approximation of that, though I think it could be fooled pretty easily
into considering the columns of irrelevant composite types.) We may
be able to improve on this later, but for now this should satisfy the
buildfarm members that didn't like ef387bed8.
In passing fix some oversights in GetTypeCollations(), and get
rid of its duplicative de-duplications. (I'm worried that it's
still potentially O(N^2) or worse, but this makes it a little
better.)

Convert built-in SQL-language functions to SQL-standard-body style.
Adopt the new pre-parsed representation for all built-in and
information_schema SQL-language functions, except for a small
number that can't presently be converted because they have
polymorphic arguments.
This eliminates residual hazards around search-path safety of
these functions, and might provide some small performance benefits
by reducing parsing costs. It seems useful also to provide more
test coverage for the SQL-standard-body feature.

Allow TestLib::slurp_file to skip contents, and use as needed
In order to avoid getting old logfile contents certain functions in
PostgresNode were doing one of two things. On Windows it rotated the
logfile and restarted the server, while elsewhere it truncated the log
file. Both of these are unnecessary. We borrow from the buildfarm which
does this instead: note the size of the logfile before we start, and
then when fetching the logfile skip to that position before accumulating
contents. This is spelled differently on Windows but the effect is the
same. This is largely centralized in TestLib's slurp_file function,
which has a new optional parameter, the offset to skip to before
starting to reading the file. Code in the client becomes much neater.

Fix bogus collation-version-recording logic.
recordMultipleDependencies had the wrong scope for its "version"
variable, allowing a version label to leak from the collation entry it
was meant for to subsequent non-collation entries. This is relatively
hard to trigger because of the OID-descending order that the inputs
will normally arrive in: subsequent non-collation items will tend to
be pinned. But it can be exhibited easily with a custom collation.
Also, don't special-case the default collation, but instead ignore
pinned-ness of a collation when we've found a version for it. This
avoids creating useless pg_depend entries, and removes a not-very-
future-proof assumption that C, POSIX, and DEFAULT are the only
pinned collations.
A small problem is that, because the default collation may or may
not have a version, the regression tests can't assume anything about
whether dependency entries will be made for it. This seems OK though
since it's now handled just the same as other collations, and we have
test cases for both versioned and unversioned collations.

Undo decision to allow pg_proc.prosrc to be NULL.
Commit e717a9a18 changed the longstanding rule that prosrc is NOT NULL
because when a SQL-language function is written in SQL-standard style,
we don't currently have anything useful to put there. This seems a poor
decision though, as it could easily have negative impacts on external
PLs (opening them to crashes they didn't use to have, for instance).
SQL-function-related code can just as easily test "is prosqlbody not
null" as "is prosrc null", so there's no real gain there either.
Hence, revert the NOT NULL marking removal and adjust related logic.
For now, we just put an empty string into prosrc for SQL-standard
functions. Maybe we'll have a better idea later, although the
history of things like pg_attrdef.adsrc suggests that it's not
easy to maintain a string equivalent of a node tree.
This also adds an assertion that queryDesc->sourceText != NULL
to standard_ExecutorStart. We'd been silently relying on that
for awhile, so let's make it less silent.
Also fix some overlooked documentation and test cases.

doc: Simplify example of HISTFILE for psql
e4c7619 has added a space to the example used for HISTFILE in the docs
of psql before the variable DBNAME, as a workaround because variables
were not parsed the same way back then. This behavior has changed in
9.2, causing the example in the psql docs to result in the same history
file created with or without a space added before the DBNAME variable.
Let's just remove this space in the example, to reduce any confusion, as
the point of it is to prove that a per-database history file is easy to
set up, and that's easier to read this way.

Tweak behavior of pg_dump --extension with configuration tables
6568cef, that introduced the option, had an inconsistent behavior when
it comes to configuration tables set up by pg_extension_config_dump, as
the data of all configuration tables would included in a dump even for
extensions not listed by a set of --extension switches.
The contents dumped changed depending on the schema where an extension
was installed when an extension was not listed. For example, an
extension installed under the public schema would have its configuration
data not dumped even when not listed with --extension, which was
inconsistent with the case of an extension installed on a non-public
schema, where the configuration would be dumped.
Per discussion with Noah, we have settled down to the simple rule of
dumping configuration data of an extension if it is listed in
--extension (default is unchanged and backward-compatible, to dump
everything on sight if there are no extensions directly listed). This
avoids some weird cases where the dumps depended on a --schema for one.
More tests are added to cover the gap, where we cross-check more
behaviors depending on --schema when an extension is not listed.
That field went away in commit edca44b15, but it seems that
commit 45be99f8c re-introduced some comments mentioning it.
