Use a hash table to store current sequence values.

This speeds up nextval() and currval(), when you touch a lot of different
sequences in the same backend.

Fix buffer overrun in isolation test program.

Commit 061b88c732952c59741374806e1e41c1ec845d50 saved argv0 to a
global buffer without ensuring that it was zero terminated,
allowing references to it to overrun the buffer and access other
memory.  This probably would not have presented any security risk,
but could have resulted in very confusing failures if the path to
the executable was very long.

Prevent leakage of cached plans and execution trees in plpgsql DO blocks.

plpgsql likes to cache query plans and simple-expression execution state
trees across calls.  This is a considerable win for multiple executions
of the same function.  However, it's useless for DO blocks, since by
definition those are executed only once and discarded.  Nonetheless,
we were allowing a DO block's expression execution trees to survive
until end of transaction, resulting in a significant intra-transaction
memory leak, as reported by Yeb Havinga.  Worse, if the DO block exited
with an error, the compiled form of the block's code was leaked till
end of session --- along with subsidiary plancache entries.

To fix, make DO blocks keep their expression execution trees in a private
EState that's deleted at exit from the block, and add a PG_TRY block
to plpgsql_inline_handler to make sure that memory cleanup happens
even on error exits.  Also add a regression test covering error handling
in a DO block, because my first try at this broke that.  (The test is
not meant to prove that we don't leak memory anymore, though it could
be used for that with a much larger loop count.)

Ideally we'd back-patch this into all versions supporting DO blocks;
but the patch needs to add a field to struct PLpgSQL_execstate, and that
would break ABI compatibility for third-party plugins such as the plpgsql
debugger.  Given the small number of complaints so far, fixing this in
HEAD only seems like an acceptable choice.
Compute correct em_nullable_relids in get_eclass_for_sort_expr().

Bug #8591 from Claudio Freire demonstrates that get_eclass_for_sort_expr
must be able to compute valid em_nullable_relids for any new equivalence
class members it creates.  I'd worried about this in the commit message
for db9f0e1d9a4a0842c814a464cdc9758c3f20b96c, but claimed that it wasn't a
problem because multi-member ECs should already exist when it runs.  That
is transparently wrong, though, because this function is also called by
initialize_mergeclause_eclasses, which runs during deconstruct_jointree.
The example given in the bug report (which the new regression test item
is based upon) fails because the COALESCE() expression is first seen by
initialize_mergeclause_eclasses rather than process_equivalence.

Fixing this requires passing the appropriate nullable_relids set to
get_eclass_for_sort_expr, and it requires new code to compute that set
for top-level expressions such as ORDER BY, GROUP BY, etc.  We store
the top-level nullable_relids in a new field in PlannerInfo to avoid
computing it many times.  In the back branches, I've added the new
field at the end of the struct to minimize ABI breakage for planner
plugins.  There doesn't seem to be a good alternative to changing
get_eclass_for_sort_expr's API signature, though.  There probably aren't
any third-party extensions calling that function directly; moreover,
if there are, they probably need to think about what to pass for
nullable_relids anyway.

Back-patch to 9.2, like the previous patch in this area.
Clean up password prompting logic in streamutil.c.

The previous coding was fairly unreadable and drew double-free warnings
from clang.  I believe the double free was actually not reachable, because
PQconnectionNeedsPassword is coded to not return true if a password was
provided, so that the loop can't iterate more than twice.  Nonetheless
it seems worth rewriting.  No back-patch since this is just cosmetic.
Speed up printing of INSERT statements in pg_dump.

In --inserts and especially --column-inserts mode, we can get a useful
speedup by generating the common prefix of all a table's INSERT commands
just once, and then printing the prebuilt string for each row.  This avoids
multiple invocations of fmtId() and other minor fooling around.

Fix incorrect loop counts in tidbitmap.c.

A couple of places that should have been iterating over WORDS_PER_CHUNK
words were iterating over WORDS_PER_PAGE words instead.  This thinko
accidentally failed to fail, because (at least on common architectures
with default BLCKSZ) WORDS_PER_CHUNK is a bit less than WORDS_PER_PAGE,
and the extra words being looked at were always zero so nothing happened.
Still, it's a bug waiting to happen if anybody ever fools with the
parameters affecting TIDBitmap sizes, and it's a small waste of cycles
too.  So back-patch to all active branches.

pg_upgrade: Fix some whitespace oddities
Allow aggregates to provide estimates of their transition state data size.

Formerly the planner had a hard-wired rule of thumb for guessing the amount
of space consumed by an aggregate function's transition state data.  This
estimate is critical to deciding whether it's OK to use hash aggregation,
and in many situations the built-in estimate isn't very good.  This patch
adds a column to pg_aggregate wherein a per-aggregate estimate can be
provided, overriding the planner's default, and infrastructure for setting
the column via CREATE AGGREGATE.

It may be that additional smarts will be required in future, perhaps even
a per-aggregate estimation function.  But this is already a step forward.

This is extracted from a larger patch to improve the performance of numeric
and int8 aggregates.  I (tgl) thought it was worth reviewing and committing
this infrastructure separately.  In this commit, all built-in aggregates
are given aggtransspace = 0, so no behavior should change.

Improve performance of numeric sum(), avg(), stddev(), variance(), etc.

This patch improves performance of most built-in aggregates that formerly
used a NUMERIC or NUMERIC array as their transition type; this includes
not only aggregates on numeric inputs, but some aggregates on integer
inputs where overflow of an int8 value is a possibility.  The code now
uses a special-purpose data structure to avoid array construction and
deconstruction overhead, as well as packing and unpacking overhead for
numeric values.

These aggregates' transition type is now declared as INTERNAL, since
it doesn't correspond to any SQL data type.  To keep the planner from
thinking that that means a lot of storage will be used, we make use
of the just-added pg_aggregate.aggtransspace feature.  The space estimate
is set to 128 bytes, which is at least in the right ballpark.

Count locked pages that don't need vacuuming as scanned.

Previously, if VACUUM skipped vacuuming a page because it's pinned, it
didn't count that page as scanned. However, that meant that relfrozenxid
was not bumped up either, which prevented anti-wraparound vacuum from
doing its job.
