Amit Kapila f8a6d8e71b Fix running out of file descriptors for spill files.
Currently while decoding changes, if the number of changes exceeds a
certain threshold, we spill those to disk.  And this happens for each
(sub)transaction.  Now, while reading all these files, we don't close them
until we read all the files.  While reading these files, if the number of
such files exceeds the maximum number of file descriptors, the operation
errors out.

Use PathNameOpenFile interface to open these files as that internally has
the mechanism to release kernel FDs as needed to get us under the
max_safe_fds limit.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication

thread/
  A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
