Make ANALYZE compute basic statistics even for types with no "=" operator.
Previously, ANALYZE simply ignored columns of datatypes that have neither
a btree nor hash opclass (which means they have no recognized equality
operator). Without a notion of equality, we can't identify most-common
values nor estimate the number of distinct values. But we can still
count nulls and compute the average physical column width, and those
stats might be of value. Moreover there are some tools out there that
don't work so well if rows are missing from pg_statistic. So let's
add suitable logic for this case.

Fix an O(N^2) problem in foreign key references.
Commit
45ba424f improved foreign key lookups during bulk updates
when the FK value does not change. When restoring a schema dump
from a database with many (say 100,000) foreign keys, this cache
would grow very big and every ALTER TABLE command was causing an
InvalidateConstraintCacheCallBack(), which uses a sequential hash
table scan. This could cause a severe performance regression in
restoring a schema dump (including during pg_upgrade).
The patch uses a heuristic method of detecting when the hash table
should be destroyed and recreated.
InvalidateConstraintCacheCallBack() adds the current size of the
hash table to a counter. When that sum reaches 1,000,000, the hash
table is flushed. This fixes the regression without noticeable
harm to the bulk update use case.

Fix subtransaction cleanup after an outer-subtransaction portal fails.
Formerly, we treated only portals created in the current subtransaction as
having failed during subtransaction abort. However, if the error occurred
while running a portal created in an outer subtransaction (ie, a cursor
declared before the last savepoint), that has to be considered broken too.
To allow reliable detection of which ones those are, add a bookkeeping
field to struct Portal that tracks the innermost subtransaction in which
each portal has actually been executed. (Without this, we'd end up
failing portals containing functions that had called the subtransaction,
thereby breaking plpgsql exception blocks completely.)
In addition, when we fail an outer-subtransaction Portal, transfer its
resources into the subtransaction's resource owner, so that they're
released early in cleanup of the subxact. This fixes a problem reported by
Jim Nasby in which a function executed in an outer-subtransaction cursor
could cause an Assert failure or crash by referencing a relation created
within the inner subtransaction.
The proximate cause of the Assert failure is that AtEOSubXact_RelationCache
assumed it could blow away a relcache entry without first checking that the
entry had zero refcount. That was a bad idea on its own terms, so add such
a check there, and to the similar coding in AtEOXact_RelationCache. This
provides an independent safety measure in case there are still ways to
provoke the situation despite the Portal-level changes.

Fix sepgsql regression tests.
The regression tests for sepgsql were broken by changes in the
base distro as-shipped policies. Specifically, definition of
unconfined_t in the system default policy was changed to bypass
multi-category rules, which the regression test depended on.
Fix that by defining a custom privileged domain
(sepgsql_regtest_superuser_t) and using it instead of system's
unconfined_t domain. The new sepgsql_regtest_superuser_t domain
performs almost like the current unconfined_t, but restricted by
multi-category policy as the traditional unconfined_t was.
The custom policy module is a self defined domain, and so should not
be affected by related future system policy changes. However, it still
uses the unconfined_u:unconfined_r pair for selinux-user and role.
Those definitions have not been changed for several years and seem
less risky to rely on than the unconfined_t domain. Additionally, if
we define custom user/role, they would need to be manually defined
at the operating system level, adding more complexity to an already
non-standard and complex regression test.
Back-patch to 9.3. The regression tests will need more work before
working correctly on 9.2. Starting with 9.2, sepgsql has had dependencies
on libselinux versions that are only available on newer distros with
the changed set of policies (e.g. RHEL 7.x). On 9.1 sepgsql works
fine with the older distros with original policy set (e.g. RHEL 6.x),
and on which the existing regression tests work fine. We might want
eventually change 9.1 sepgsql regression tests to be more independent
from the underlying OS policies, however more work will be needed to
make that happen and it is not clear that it is worth the effort.

Fix s_lock.h PPC assembly code to be compatible with native AIX assembler.
On recent AIX it's necessary to configure gcc to use the native assembler
(because the GNU assembler hasn't been updated to handle AIX 6+). This
caused PG builds to fail with assembler syntax errors, because we'd try
to compile s_lock.h's gcc asm fragment for PPC, and that assembly code
relied on GNU-style local labels. We can't substitute normal labels
because it would fail in any file containing more than one inlined use of
tas(). Fortunately, that code is stable enough, and the PPC ISA is simple
enough, that it doesn't seem like too much of a maintenance burden to just
hand-code the branch offsets, removing the need for any labels.
Note that the AIX assembler only accepts "$" for the location counter
pseudo-symbol. The usual GNU convention is "."; but it appears that all
versions of gas for PPC also accept "$", so in theory this patch will not
break any other PPC platforms.

Fix potential platform dependence in gist regression test.
The results of the KNN-search test cases were indeterminate, as they asked
the system to sort pairs of points that are exactly equidistant from the

platform-specific failures from this in the buildfarm. Perhaps IEEE-float
math is well enough standardized that no such failures will ever occur on

Fix plpython crash when returning string representation of a RECORD result.
PLyString_ToComposite() blithely overwrote proc->result.out.d, even though
for a composite result type the other union variant proc->result.out.r is
the one that should be valid. This could result in a crash if out.r had
in fact been filled in (proc->result.is_rowtype == 1) and then somebody
later attempted to use that data; as per bug #13579 from Paweł Michalak.
Just to add insult to injury, it didn't work for RECORD results anyway,
because record_in() would refuse the case.
Fix by doing the I/O function lookup in a local PLyTypeInfo variable,
as we were doing already in PLyObject_ToComposite(). This is not a great
technique because any fn_extra data allocated by the input function will
be leaked permanently (thanks to using TopMemoryContext as fn_mcxt).
But that's a pre-existing issue that is much less serious than a crash,
