Restructure doc sections about statistics views

Break out the "dynamic statistics" views in the table from the
"collected statistics" ones. Could do with some more refactoring,
but this is a start.

Fix relpersistence setting in reindex_index

Buildfarm members with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS advised us that commit
85b506bbfc2937 was mistaken in setting the relpersistence value of the
index directly in the relcache entry, within reindex_index.  The reason
for the failure is that an invalidation message that comes after mucking
with the relcache entry directly, but before writing it to the catalogs,
would cause the entry to become rebuilt in place from catalogs with the
old contents, losing the update.

Fix by passing the correct persistence value to
RelationSetNewRelfilenode instead; this routine also writes the updated
tuple to pg_class, avoiding the problem.  Suggested by Tom Lane.
Fix WAL-logging of B-tree "unlink halfdead page" operation.

There was some confusion on how to record the case that the operation
unlinks the last non-leaf page in the branch being deleted.
_bt_unlink_halfdead_page set the "topdead" field in the WAL record to
the leaf page, but the redo routine assumed that it would be an invalid
block number in that case. This commit fixes _bt_unlink_halfdead_page to
do what the redo routine expected.

This code is new in 9.4, so backpatch there.

Add --synchronous option to pg_receivexlog, for more reliable WAL writing.

Previously pg_receivexlog flushed WAL data only when WAL file was switched.
Then 3dad73e added -F option to pg_receivexlog so that users could control
how frequently sync commands were issued to WAL files. It also allowed users
to make pg_receivexlog flush WAL data immediately after writing by
specifying 0 in -F option. However feedback messages were not sent back
immediately even after a flush location was updated. So even if WAL data
was flushed in real time, the server could not see that for a while.

This commit removes -F option from and adds --synchronous to pg_receivexlog.
If --synchronous is specified, like the standby's wal receiver, pg_receivexlog
flushes WAL data as soon as there is WAL data which has not been flushed yet.
Then it sends back the feedback message identifying the latest flush location
to the server. This option is useful to make pg_receivexlog behave as sync
standby by using replication slot, for example.

Add pg_dump --snapshot option

Allows pg_dump to use a snapshot previously defined by a concurrent
session that has either used pg_export_snapshot() or obtained a
snapshot when creating a logical slot. When this option is used with
parallel pg_dump, the snapshot defined by this option is used and no
new snapshot is taken.

Fix some bogus direct uses of realloc().

pg_dump/parallel.c was using realloc() directly with no error check.
While the odds of an actual failure here seem pretty low, Coverity
complains about it, so fix by using pg_realloc() instead.

While looking for other instances, I noticed a couple of places in
psql that hadn't gotten the memo about the availability of pg_realloc.
These aren't bugs, since they did have error checks, but verbosely
inconsistent code is not a good thing.

Back-patch as far as 9.3.  9.2 did not have pg_dump/parallel.c, nor
did it have pg_realloc available in all frontend code.
Update comments in find_typedef.

These comments don't seem to have been touched in a long time.  Make them
describe the current implementation rather than what was here last century,
and be a bit more explicit about the unreferenced-typedefs issue.
Don't require bleeding-edge timezone data in timestamptz regression test.

The regression test cases added in commits b2cbced9e et al depended in part
on the Russian timezone offset changes of Oct 2014.  While this is of no
particular concern for a default Postgres build, it was possible for a
build using --with-system-tzdata to fail the tests if the system tzdata
database wasn't au courant.  Bjorn Munch and Christoph Berg both complained
about this while packaging 9.4rc1, so we probably shouldn't insist on the
system tzdata being up-to-date.  Instead, make an equivalent test using a
zone change that occurred in Venezuela in 2007.  With this patch, the
regression tests should pass using any tzdata set from 2012 or later.
(I can't muster much sympathy for somebody using --with-system-tzdata
on a machine whose system tzdata is more than three years out-of-date.)
Fix pg_receivexlog --slot so that it doesn't prevent the server shutdown.

When pg_receivexlog --slot is connecting to the server, at the shutdown
of the server, walsender keeps waiting for the last WAL record to be
replicated and flushed in pg_receivexlog. But previously pg_receivexlog
issued sync command only when WAL file was switched. So there was
the case where the last WAL was never flushed and walsender had to
keep waiting infinitely. This caused the server shutdown to get stuck.

pg_recvlogical handles this problem by calling fsync() when it receives
the request of immediate reply from the server. That is, at shutdown,
walsender sends the request, pg_recvlogical receives it, flushes the last
WAL record, and sends the flush location back to the server. Since
walsender can see that the last WAL record is successfully flushed, it can
exit cleanly.

This commit introduces the same logic as pg_recvlogical has,
to pg_receivexlog.

Back-patch to 9.4 where pg_receivexlog was changed so that it can use
the replication slot.

Bug report by Furuya Osamu.
Fix bug in the test of file descriptor of current WAL file in pg_receivexlog.

In pg_receivexlog, in order to check whether the current WAL file is
being opened or not, its file descriptor has to be checked against -1
as an invalid value. But, oops, 7900e94 added the incorrect test
checking the descriptor against 1. This commit fixes that bug.

Back-patch to 9.4 where the bug was added.

Add test cases for indexam operations not currently covered.

That includes VACUUM on GIN, GiST and SP-GiST indexes, and B-tree indexes
large enough to cause page deletions in B-tree. Plus some other special
cases.

After this patch, the regression tests generate all different WAL record
types. Not all branches within the redo functions are covered, but it's a
step forward.
Improve documentation's description of JOIN clauses.

In bug #12000, Andreas Kunert complained that the documentation was
misleading in saying "FROM T1 CROSS JOIN T2 is equivalent to FROM T1, T2".
That's correct as far as it goes, but the equivalence doesn't hold when
you consider three or more tables, since JOIN binds more tightly than
comma.  I added a <note> to explain this, and ended up rearranging some
of the existing text so that the note would make sense in context.

In passing, rewrite the description of JOIN USING, which was unnecessarily
vague, and hadn't been helped any by somebody's reliance on markup as a
substitute for clear writing.  (Mostly this involved reintroducing a
concrete example that was unaccountably removed by commit 032f3b7e166cfa28.)

Back-patch to all supported branches.
Fix suggested layout for PGXS makefile

Custom rules must come after pgxs inclusion, not before, because any
