Update C comment for pg_attribute.attislocal

Indicates if column has ever been local/non-inherited
Make backend local tracking of buffer pins memory efficient.

Since the dawn of time (aka Postgres95) multiple pins of the same
buffer by one backend have been optimized not to modify the shared
refcount more than once. This optimization has always used a NBuffer
sized array in each backend keeping track of a backend's pins.

That array (PrivateRefCount) was one of the biggest per-backend memory
allocations, depending on the shared_buffers setting. Besides the
waste of memory it also has proven to be a performance bottleneck when
assertions are enabled as we make sure that there's no remaining pins
left at the end of transactions. Also, on servers with lots of memory
and a correspondingly high shared_buffers setting the amount of random
memory accesses can also lead to poor cpu cache efficiency.

Because of these reasons a backend's buffers pins are now kept track
of in a small statically sized array that overflows into a hash table
when necessary. Benchmarks have shown neutral to positive performance
results with considerably lower memory usage.

Patch by me, review by Robert Haas.

Individual changes backpatched, where applicable, as far as 9.0.
Declare two variables in snapbuild.c as static.

Neither is accessed externally, I just seem to have missed the static
when writing the code.
Protect definition of SpinlockSemaArray, just like its declaration.

Found via clang's -Wmissing-variable-declarations.
Declare lwlock.c's LWLockAcquireCommon() as a static inline.

68a2e52bbaf98f136 has introduced LWLockAcquireCommon() containing the
previous contents of LWLockAcquire() plus added functionality. The
latter then calls it, just like LWLockAcquireWithVar(). Because the
majority of callers don't need the added functionality, declare the
common code as inline. The compiler then can optimize away the unused
code. Doing so is also useful when looking at profiles, to
differentiate the users.

Backpatch to 9.4, the first branch to contain LWLockAcquireCommon().
Fix s/pluggins/plugins/ typo in two comments.

Add valgrind suppression for padding bytes in twophase records.
Add skip-empty-xacts option to test_decoding for use in the regression tests.

The regression tests for contrib/test_decoding regularly failed on
postgres instances that were very slow. Either because the hardware
itself was slow or because very expensive debugging options like
CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS were used.

The reason they failed was just that some additional transactions were
decoded. Analyze and vacuum, triggered by autovac.

To fix just add a option to test_decoding to only display transactions
in which a change was actually displayed. That's not pretty because it
removes information from the tests; but better than constantly failing
tests in very likely harmless ways.

Backpatch to 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced.

Fix unportable use of isspace().

Introduced in commit 11a020eb6.
Support ALTER SYSTEM RESET command.

This patch allows us to execute ALTER SYSTEM RESET command to
remove the configuration entry from postgresql.auto.conf.

Add psql PROMPT variable showing which line of a statement is being edited.

The new %l substitution shows the line number inside a (potentially
multi-line) statement starting from one.

Refactor per-page logic common to all redo routines to a new function.

Every redo routine uses the same idiom to determine what to do to a page:
check if there's a backup block for it, and if not read, the buffer if the
block exists, and check its LSN. Refactor that into a common function,
XLogReadBufferForRedo, making all the redo routines shorter and more
readable.

This has no user-visible effect, and makes no changes to the WAL format.

Check number of parameters in RAISE statement at compile time.

The number of % parameter markers in RAISE statement should match the number
of parameters given. We used to check that at execution time, but we have
all the information needed at compile time, so let's check it at compile
time instead. It's generally better to find mistakes earlier.
