Thomas Munro fd82ddb679 Replace pg_mblen() with bounds-checked versions.
A corrupted string could cause code that iterates with pg_mblen() to
overrun its buffer.  Fix, by converting all callers to one of the
following:

1. Callers with a null-terminated string now use pg_mblen_cstr(), which
raises an "illegal byte sequence" error if it finds a terminator in the
middle of the sequence.

2. Callers with a length or end pointer now use either
pg_mblen_with_len() or pg_mblen_range(), for the same effect, depending
on which of the two seems more convenient at each site.

3. A small number of cases pre-validate a string, and can use
pg_mblen_unbounded().

The traditional pg_mblen() function and COPYCHAR macro still exist for
backward compatibility, but are no longer used by core code and are
hereby deprecated.  The same applies to the t_isXXX() functions.

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 (but see also below)

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

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

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
