3a7ae6b3d9 Revert pg_wal_replay_wait() stored procedure
This commit reverts 3c5db1d6b0, and subsequent improvements and fixes
including 8036d73ae3, 867d396ccd, 3ac3ec580c, 0868d7ae70, 85b98b8d5a,
2520226c95, 014f9f34d2, e658038772, e1555645d7, 5035172e4a, 6cfebfe88b,
73da6b8d1b, and e546989a26.

The reason for reverting is a set of remaining issues.  Most notably, the
stored procedure appears to need more effort than the utility statement
to turn the backend into a "snapshot-less" state.  This makes an approach
to use stored procedures questionable.

Catversion is bumped.

49d6c7d8da Add SQL function array_reverse()
This function takes in input an array, and reverses the position of all
its elements.  This operation only affects the first dimension of the
array, like array_shuffle().

The implementation structure is inspired by array_shuffle(), with a
subroutine called array_reverse_n() that may come in handy in the
future, should more functions able to reverse portions of arrays be
introduced.

4b7bba49e7 doc: Add better description for rewrite functions in event triggers
There are two functions that can be used in event triggers to get more
details about a rewrite happening on a relation.  Both had a limited
documentation:
- pg_event_trigger_table_rewrite_reason() and
pg_event_trigger_table_rewrite_oid() were not mentioned in the main
event trigger section in the paragraph dedicated to the event
table_rewrite.
- pg_event_trigger_table_rewrite_reason() returns an integer which is a
bitmap of the reasons why a rewrite happens.  There was no explanation
about the meaning of these values, forcing the reader to look at the
code to find out that these are defined in event_trigger.h.

While on it, let's add a comment in event_trigger.h where the
AT_REWRITE_* are defined, telling to update the documentation when
these values are changed.

Backpatch down to 13 as a consequence of 1ad23335f3, where this area
of the documentation has been heavily reworked.

147bbc90f7 Modernize to_char's Roman-numeral code, fixing overflow problems.
int_to_roman() only accepts plain "int" input, which is fine since
we're going to produce '###############' for any value above 3999
anyway.  However, the numeric and int8 variants of to_char() would
throw an error if the given input exceeded the integer range, while
the float-input variants invoked undefined-per-C-standard behavior.
Fix things so that you uniformly get '###############' for out of
range input.

Also add test cases covering this code, plus the equally-untested
EEEE, V, and PL format codes.

cb599b9ddf Make jsonpath .string() be immutable for datetimes.
Discussion of commit ed055d249 revealed that we don't actually
want jsonpath's .string() method to depend on DateStyle, nor
TimeZone either, because the non-"_tz" jsonpath functions are
supposed to be immutable.  Potentially we could allow a TimeZone
dependency in the "_tz" variants, but it seems better to just
uniformly define this method as returning the same string that
jsonb text output would do.  That's easier to implement too,
saving a couple dozen lines.

3c5db1d6b0 Implement pg_wal_replay_wait() stored procedure
pg_wal_replay_wait() is to be used on standby and specifies waiting for
the specific WAL location to be replayed.  This option is useful when
the user makes some data changes on primary and needs a guarantee to see
these changes are on standby.

The queue of waiters is stored in the shared memory as an LSN-ordered pairing
heap, where the waiter with the nearest LSN stays on the top.  During
the replay of WAL, waiters whose LSNs have already been replayed are deleted
from the shared memory pairing heap and woken up by setting their latches.

pg_wal_replay_wait() needs to wait without any snapshot held.  Otherwise,
the snapshot could prevent the replay of WAL records, implying a kind of
self-deadlock.  This is why it is only possible to implement
pg_wal_replay_wait() as a procedure working without an active snapshot,
not a function.

580f8727ca Add argument names to the regexp_XXX functions.
This change allows these functions to be called using named-argument
notation, which can be helpful for readability, particularly for
the ones with many arguments.

There was considerable debate about exactly which names to use,
but in the end we settled on the names already shown in our
documentation table 9.10.

The citext extension provides citext-aware versions of some of
these functions, so add argument names to those too.

which were slightly wrong about which combinations of arguments
are allowed.

402b586d0a Do not summarize WAL if generated with wal_level=minimal.
To do this, we must include the wal_level in the first WAL record
covered by each summary file; so add wal_level to struct Checkpoint
and the payload of XLOG_CHECKPOINT_REDO and XLOG_END_OF_RECOVERY.

This, in turn, requires bumping XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC and, since the
Checkpoint is also stored in the control file, also
PG_CONTROL_VERSION. It's not great to do that so late in the release
cycle, but the alternative seems to ship v17 without robust
protections against this scenario, which could result in corrupted
incremental backups.

A side effect of this patch is that, when a server with
wal_level=replica is started with summarize_wal=on for the first time,
summarization will no longer begin with the oldest WAL that still
exists in pg_wal, but rather from the first checkpoint after that.
This change should be harmless, because a WAL summary for a partial
checkpoint cycle can never make an incremental backup possible when
it would otherwise not have been.

4564f1cebd Add pg_get_acl() to get the ACL for a database object
This function returns the ACL for a database object, specified by
catalog OID and object OID.  This is useful to be able to
retrieve the ACL associated to an object specified with a
(class_id,objid) couple, similarly to the other functions for object
identification, when joined with pg_depend or pg_shdepend.

Original idea by Álvaro Herrera.

Bump catalog version.

2357c9223b Rename standby_slot_names to synchronized_standby_slots.
The standby_slot_names GUC allows the specification of physical standby
slots that must be synchronized before the logical walsenders associated
with logical failover slots. However, for this purpose, the GUC name is
too generic.

55e56c84da SQL/JSON: Validate values in ON ERROR/EMPTY clauses
Currently, the grammar allows any supported values in the ON ERROR
and ON EMPTY clauses for SQL/JSON functions, regardless of whether
the values are appropriate for the function. This commit ensures
that during parse analysis, the provided value is checked for
validity for the given function and throws a syntax error if it is
not.

While at it, this fixes some omissions in the documentation of the
ON ERROR/EMPTY clauses for JSON_TABLE().

473a352fb3 SQL/JSON: Document behavior when input document is not jsonb
The input document to functions JSON_EXISTS(), JSON_QUERY(),
JSON_VALUE(), and JSON_TABLE() can be specified as character or
UTF8-encoded bytea strings. These are automatically converted to
jsonb with an implicit cast before being passed to the jsonpath
machinery.

In the current implementation, errors that occur when parsing the
specified string into a valid JSON document are thrown
unconditionally. This means they are not subject to the explicit or
implicit ON ERROR clause of those functions, which is a standard-
conforming behavior.  Add a note to the documentation to mention
that.

db08e8c6fa Post-commit review fixes for slot synchronization.
Allow pg_sync_replication_slots() to error out during promotion of standby.
This makes the behavior of the SQL function consistent with the slot sync
worker. We also ensured that pg_sync_replication_slots() cannot be
executed if sync_replication_slots is enabled and the slotsync worker is
already running to perform the synchronization of slots. Previously, it
would have succeeded in cases when the worker is idle and failed when it
is performing sync which could confuse users.

This patch fixes another issue in the slot sync worker where
SignalHandlerForShutdownRequest() needs to be registered *before* setting
SlotSyncCtx->pid, otherwise, the slotsync worker could miss handling
SIGINT sent by the startup process(ShutDownSlotSync) if it is sent before
worker could register SignalHandlerForShutdownRequest(). To be consistent,
all signal handlers' registration is moved to a prior location before we
set the worker's pid.

Ensure that we clean up synced temp slots at the end of
pg_sync_replication_slots() to avoid such slots being left over after
promotion.

Ensure that ShutDownSlotSync() captures SlotSyncCtx->pid under spinlock to
avoid accessing invalid value as it can be reset by concurrent slot sync
exit due to an error.
