Renovate display of non-ASCII messages on Windows.

GNU gettext selects a default encoding for the messages it emits in a
platform-specific manner; it uses the Windows ANSI code page on Windows
and follows LC_CTYPE on other platforms.  This is inconvenient for
PostgreSQL server processes, so realize consistent cross-platform
behavior by calling bind_textdomain_codeset() on Windows each time we
permanently change LC_CTYPE.  This primarily affects SQL_ASCII databases
and processes like the postmaster that do not attach to a database,
making their behavior consistent with PostgreSQL on non-Windows
platforms.  Messages from SQL_ASCII databases use the encoding implied
by the database LC_CTYPE, and messages from non-database processes use
LC_CTYPE from the postmaster system environment.  PlatformEncoding
becomes unused, so remove it.

Make write_console() prefer WriteConsoleW() to write() regardless of the
encodings in use.  In this situation, write() will invariably mishandle
non-ASCII characters.

elog.c has assumed that messages conform to the database encoding.
While usually true, this does not hold for SQL_ASCII and MULE_INTERNAL.
Introduce MessageEncoding to track the actual encoding of message text.
The present consumers are Windows-specific code for converting messages
to UTF16 for use in system interfaces.  This fixes the appearance in
Windows event logs and consoles of translated messages from SQL_ASCII
processes like the postmaster.  Note that SQL_ASCII inherently disclaims
a strong notion of encoding, so non-ASCII byte sequences interpolated
into messages by %s may yet yield a nonsensical message.  MULE_INTERNAL
has similar problems at present, albeit for a different reason: its lack
of libiconv support or a conversion to UTF8.

Consequently, one need no longer restart Windows with a different
Windows ANSI code page to broadly test backend logging under a given
language.  Changing the user's locale ("Format") is enough.  Several
accounts can simultaneously run postmasters under different locales, all
correctly logging localized messages to Windows event logs and consoles.

Initialize pad bytes in GinFormTuple().

Every other core buffer page consumer initializes the bytes it furnishes
to PageAddItem().  For consistency, do the same here.  No back-patch;
regardless, we couldn't count on the fix so long as binary upgrade can
carry forward affected index builds.
Refactor aset.c and mcxt.c in preparation for Valgrind cooperation.

Move some repeated debugging code into functions and store intermediates
in variables where not presently necessary.  No code-generation changes
in a production build, and no functional changes.  This simplifies and
focuses the main patch.
Cooperate with the Valgrind instrumentation framework.

Valgrind "client requests" in aset.c and mcxt.c teach Valgrind and its
Memcheck tool about the PostgreSQL allocator.  This makes Valgrind
roughly as sensitive to memory errors involving palloc chunks as it is
to memory errors involving malloc chunks.  Further client requests in
PageAddItem() and printtup() verify that all bits being added to a
buffer page or furnished to an output function are predictably-defined.
Those tests catch failures of C-language functions to fully initialize
the bits of a Datum, which in turn stymie optimizations that rely on
_equalConst().  Define the USE_VALGRIND symbol in pg_config_manual.h to
enable these additions.  An included "suppression file" silences nominal
errors we don't plan to fix.

Tweak wording in sequence-function docs to avoid PDF build failures.

Adjust the wording in the first para of "Sequence Manipulation Functions"
so that neither of the link phrases in it break across line boundaries,
in either A4- or US-page-size PDF output.  This fixes a reported build
failure for the 9.3beta2 A4 PDF docs, and future-proofs this particular
para against causing similar problems in future.  (Perhaps somebody will
fix this issue in the SGML/TeX documentation tool chain someday, but I'm
not holding my breath.)

Back-patch to all supported branches, since the same problem could rise up
to bite us in future updates if anyone changes anything earlier than this
in func.sgml.

Expect EWOULDBLOCK from a non-blocking connect() call only on Windows.

On Unix-ish platforms, EWOULDBLOCK may be the same as EAGAIN, which is
*not* a success return, at least not on Linux.  We need to treat it as a
failure to avoid giving a misleading error message.  Per the Single Unix
Spec, only EINPROGRESS and EINTR returns indicate that the connection
attempt is in progress.

On Windows, on the other hand, EWOULDBLOCK (WSAEWOULDBLOCK) is the expected
case.  We must accept EINPROGRESS as well because Cygwin will return that,
and it doesn't seem worth distinguishing Cygwin from native Windows here.
It's not very clear whether EINTR can occur on Windows, but let's leave
that part of the logic alone in the absence of concrete trouble reports.

Also, remove the test for errno == 0, effectively reverting commit
da9501bddb42222dc33c031b1db6ce2133bcee7b, which AFAICS was just a thinko;
or at best it might have been a workaround for a platform-specific bug,
which we can hope is gone now thirteen years later.  In any case, since
libpq makes no effort to reset errno to zero before calling connect(),
it seems unlikely that that test has ever reliably done anything useful.

Mark index-constraint comments with correct dependency in pg_dump.

When there's a comment on an index that was created with UNIQUE or PRIMARY
KEY constraint syntax, we need to label the comment as depending on the
constraint not the index, since only the constraint object actually appears
in the dump.  This incorrect dependency can lead to parallel pg_restore
trying to restore the comment before the index has been created, per bug
#8257 from Lloyd Albin.

This patch fixes pg_dump to produce the right dependency in dumps made
in the future.  Usually we also try to hack pg_restore to work around
bogus dependencies, so that existing (wrong) dumps can still be restored in
parallel mode; but that doesn't seem practical here since there's no easy
way to relate the constraint dump entry to the comment after the fact.

Permit super-MaxAllocSize allocations with MemoryContextAllocHuge().

The MaxAllocSize guard is convenient for most callers, because it
reduces the need for careful attention to overflow, data type selection,
and the SET_VARSIZE() limit.  A handful of callers are happy to navigate
those hazards in exchange for the ability to allocate a larger chunk.
Introduce MemoryContextAllocHuge() and repalloc_huge().  Use this in
tuplesort.c and tuplestore.c, enabling internal sorts of up to INT_MAX
tuples, a factor-of-48 increase.  In particular, B-tree index builds can
now benefit from much-larger maintenance_work_mem settings.
