Optimize updating a row that's locked by same xid

Updating or locking a row that was already locked by the same
transaction under the same Xid caused a MultiXact to be created; but
this is unnecessary, because there's no usefulness in being able to
differentiate two locks by the same transaction.  In particular, if a
transaction executed SELECT FOR UPDATE followed by an UPDATE that didn't
modify columns of the key, we would dutifully represent the resulting
combination as a multixact -- even though a single key-update is
sufficient.

Optimize the case so that only the strongest of both locks/updates is
represented in Xmax.  This can save some Xmax's from becoming
MultiXacts, which can be a significant optimization.

This missed optimization opportunity was spotted by Andres Freund while
investigating a bug reported by Oliver Seemann in message
CANCipfpfzoYnOz5jj=UZ70_R=CwDHv36dqWSpwsi27vpm1z5sA@mail.gmail.com
and also directly as a performance regression reported by Dong Ye in
message
d54b8387.000012d8.00000010@YED-DEVD1.vmware.com
Reportedly, this patch fixes the performance regression.

Since the missing optimization was reported as a significant performance
regression from 9.2, backpatch to 9.3.

Make stdout unbuffered

This ensures that all stdout output is flushed immediately, to match
stderr.  This eliminates the need for fflush(stdout) calls sprinkled all
over the place.

Avoid useless palloc during transaction commit

We can allocate the initial relations-to-drop array when first needed,
instead of at function entry; this avoids allocating it when the
function is not going to do anything, which is most of the time.

Backpatch to 9.3, where this behavior was introduced by commit
279628a0a7cf5.

There's more that could be done here, such as possible reworking of the
code to avoid having to palloc anything, but that doesn't sound as
backpatchable as this relatively minor change.

Change the way we mark tuples as frozen.

Instead of changing the tuple xmin to FrozenTransactionId, the combination
of HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED and HEAP_XMIN_INVALID, which were previously never
set together, is now defined as HEAP_XMIN_FROZEN.  A variety of previous
proposals to freeze tuples opportunistically before vacuum_freeze_min_age
is reached have foundered on the objection that replacing xmin by
FrozenTransactionId might hinder debugging efforts when things in this
area go awry; this patch is intended to solve that problem by keeping
the XID around (but largely ignoring the value to which it is set).

Third-party code that checks for HEAP_XMIN_INVALID on tuples where
HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED might be set will be broken by this change.  To fix,
use the new accessor macros in htup_details.h rather than consulting the
bits directly.  HeapTupleHeaderGetXmin has been modified to return
FrozenTransactionId when the infomask bits indicate that the tuple is
frozen; use HeapTupleHeaderGetRawXmin when you already know that the
tuple isn't marked commited or frozen, or want the raw value anyway.
We currently do this in routines that display the xmin for user consumption,
in tqual.c where it's known to be safe and important for the avoidance of
extra cycles, and in the function-caching code for various procedural
languages, which shouldn't invalidate the cache just because the tuple
gets frozen.

Support ordered-set (WITHIN GROUP) aggregates.

This patch introduces generic support for ordered-set and hypothetical-set
aggregate functions, as well as implementations of the instances defined in
SQL:2008 (percentile_cont(), percentile_disc(), rank(), dense_rank(),
percent_rank(), cume_dist()).  We also added mode() though it is not in the
spec, as well as versions of percentile_cont() and percentile_disc() that
can compute multiple percentile values in one pass over the data.

Unlike the original submission, this patch puts full control of the sorting
process in the hands of the aggregate's support functions.  To allow the
support functions to find out how they're supposed to sort, a new API
function AggGetAggref() is added to nodeAgg.c.  This allows retrieval of
the aggregate call's Aggref node, which may have other uses beyond the
immediate need.  There is also support for ordered-set aggregates to
install cleanup callback functions, so that they can be sure that
infrastructure such as tuplesort objects gets cleaned up.

In passing, make some fixes in the recently-added support for variadic
aggregates, and make some editorial adjustments in the recent FILTER
additions for aggregates.  Also, simplify use of IsBinaryCoercible() by
allowing it to succeed whenever the target type is ANY or ANYELEMENT.
It was inconsistent that it dealt with other polymorphic target types
but not these.

Fix portability issue in ordered-set patch.

Overly compact coding in makeOrderedSetArgs() led to a platform dependency:
if the compiler chose to execute the subexpressions in the wrong order,
list_length() might get applied to an already-modified List, giving a
value we didn't want.  Per buildfarm.
Revise documentation for new freezing method.

Commit 37484ad2aacef5ec794f4dd3d5cf814475180a78 invalidated a good
chunk of documentation, so patch it up to reflect the new state of
play.  Along the way, patch remaining documentation references to
FrozenXID to say instead FrozenTransactionId, so that they match the
way we actually spell it in the code.

Fix misplaced right paren bugs in pgstatfuncs.c.

The bug would only show up if the C sockaddr structure contained
zero in the first byte for a valid address; otherwise it would
fail to fail, which is probably why it went unnoticed for so long.

Patch submitted by Joel Jacobson after seeing an article by Andrey
Karpov in which he reports finding this through static code
analysis using PVS-Studio.  While I was at it I moved a definition
of a local variable referenced in the buggy code to a more local
context.

Backpatch to all supported branches.
Properly detect invalid JSON numbers when generating JSON.

Instead of looking for characters that aren't valid in JSON numbers, we
simply pass the output string through the JSON number parser, and if it
fails the string is quoted. This means among other things that money and
domains over money will be quoted correctly and generate valid JSON.

Fixes bug #8676 reported by Anderson Cristian da Silva.

Backpatched to 9.2 where JSON generation was introduced.
