Historically, psql consulted COMSPEC to spawn a shell in its \! command,
but we just invoked "cmd" when spawning shells in pg_ctl and pg_regress.
It seems better to rely on the environment variable, if it's set,
in all cases.
It's debatable whether this is a bug fix or just a behavioral change,
so no back-patch.

For the most part, we leave libpq-controlling environment variables
alone during "make installcheck", reasoning that connecting to the
server the user expects us to connect to may depend on those variables.
But that argument doesn't apply to PGDATABASE, since we always want
to connect to a specific database name within the server. And failing
to unset it causes certain ECPG tests to fail, as various people have
complained of in the past. So let's unset it.
Possibly this should be back-patched, but I'm disinclined to do that
right before 12.0 release. Maybe later.

Commit a4327296d taught pg_regress proper to do this, but
missed the opportunity to do likewise in the isolationtester
and ecpg variants of pg_regress. Seems like this might be
helpful for tracking down issues exposed by those tests.
Change the defaults for the pg_hba.conf generated by initdb to "peer"
for local (if supported, else "md5") and "md5" for host.
(Changing from "md5" to SCRAM is left as a separate exercise.)
"peer" is currently not supported on AIX, HP-UX, and Windows. Users
on those operating systems will now either have to provide a password
to initdb or choose a different authentication method when running
initdb.

Up to now, pg_regress --config-auth had a hard-wired assumption
that the target cluster uses the default bootstrap superuser name.
pg_dump's 010_dump_connstr.pl TAP test uses non-default superuser
names, and was klugily getting around the restriction by listing
the desired superuser name as a role to "create". This is pretty
confusing (or at least, it confused me). Let's make it clearer by
allowing --config-auth mode to be told the bootstrap superuser name.
Repurpose the existing --user switch for that, since it has no
other function in --config-auth mode.
Per buildfarm. I don't have an environment at hand in which I can
test this fix, but the buildfarm should soon show if it works.

The original placement of this module in src/fe_utils/ is ill-considered,
because several src/common/ modules have dependencies on it, meaning that
libpgcommon and libpgfeutils now have mutual dependencies. That makes it
pointless to have distinct libraries at all. The intended design is that
libpgcommon is lower-level than libpgfeutils, so only dependencies from
the latter to the former are acceptable.
We already have the precedent that fe_memutils and a couple of other
modules in src/common/ are frontend-only, so it's not stretching anything
out of whack to treat logging.c as a frontend-only module in src/common/.
To the extent that such modules help provide a common frontend/backend
environment for the rest of common/ to use, it's a reasonable design.
(logging.c does not yet provide an ereport() emulation, but one can
dream.)
Hence, move these files over, and revert basically all of the build-system
changes made by commit cc8d41511. There are no places that need to grow
new dependencies on libpgcommon, further reinforcing the idea that this
is the right solution.

Be more consistent about use of XXXGetDatum macros in new jsonpath
code. This is mostly to avoid having code that looks randomly
different from everyplace else that's doing the exact same thing.
In pg_regress.c, avoid an unreferenced-function warning from
compilers that don't understand pg_attribute_unused(). Putting
the function inside the same #ifdef as its only caller is more
straightforward coding anyway.
In be-secure-openssl.c, avoid use of pg_attribute_unused() on a label.
That's pretty creative, but there's no good reason to suppose that
it's portable, and there's absolutely no need to use goto's here in the
first place. (This wasn't actually causing any buildfarm complaints,
but it's new code in v12 so it has no portability track record.)
This unifies the various ad hoc logging (message printing, error
printing) systems used throughout the command-line programs.
Features:
- Program name is automatically prefixed.
- Message string does not end with newline. This removes a common
source of inconsistencies and omissions.
- Additionally, a final newline is automatically stripped, simplifying
use of PQerrorMessage() etc., another common source of mistakes.
- I converted error message strings to use %m where possible.
- As a result of the above several points, more translatable message
strings can be shared between different components and between
frontends and backend, without gratuitous punctuation or whitespace
differences.
- There is support for setting a "log level". This is not meant to be
user-facing, but can be used internally to implement debug or
verbose modes.
- Lazy argument evaluation, so no significant overhead if logging at
some level is disabled.
- Some color in the messages, similar to gcc and clang. Set
PG_COLOR=auto to try it out. Some colors are predefined, but can be
customized by setting PG_COLORS.
- Common files (common/, fe_utils/, etc.) can handle logging much more
simply by just using one API without worrying too much about the
context of the calling program, requiring callbacks, or having to
pass "progname" around everywhere.
- Some programs called setvbuf() to make sure that stderr is
unbuffered, even on Windows. But not all programs did that. This
is now done centrally.
Soft goals:
- Reduces vertical space use and visual complexity of error reporting
in the source code.
- Encourages more deliberate classification of messages. For example,
in some cases it wasn't clear without analyzing the surrounding code
whether a message was meant as an error or just an info.
- Concepts and terms are vaguely aligned with popular logging
frameworks such as log4j and Python logging.
This is all just about printing stuff out. Nothing affects program
flow (e.g., fatal exits). The uses are just too varied to do that.
Some existing code had wrappers that do some kind of print-and-exit,
and I adapted those.
I tried to keep the output mostly the same, but there is a lot of
historical baggage to unwind and special cases to consider, and I
might not always have succeeded. One significant change is that
pg_rewind used to write all error messages to stdout. That is now
changed to stderr.

At least as far back as the 2008 spec, POSIX has defined strsignal(3)
for looking up descriptive strings for signal numbers. We hadn't gotten
the word though, and were still using the crufty old sys_siglist array,
which is in no standard even though most Unixen provide it.
Aside from not being formally standards-compliant, this was just plain
ugly because it involved #ifdef's at every place using the code.
To eliminate the #ifdef's, create a portability function pg_strsignal,
which wraps strsignal(3) if available and otherwise falls back to
sys_siglist[] if available. The set of Unixen with neither API is
probably empty these days, but on any platform with neither, you'll
just get "unrecognized signal". All extant callers print the numeric
signal number too, so no need to work harder than that.
Along the way, upgrade pg_basebackup's child-error-exit reporting
to match the rest of the system.

Fix a small number of places that were testing the result of snprintf()
but doing so incorrectly. The right test for buffer overrun, per C99,
is "result >= bufsize" not "result > bufsize". Some places were also
checking for failure with "result == -1", but the standard only says
that a negative value is delivered on failure.
(Note that this only makes these places correct if snprintf() delivers
C99-compliant results. But at least now these places are consistent
with all the other places where we assume that.)
Also, make psql_start_test() and isolation_start_test() check for
buffer overrun while constructing their shell commands. There seems
like a higher risk of overrun, with more severe consequences, here
than there is for the individual file paths that are made elsewhere
in the same functions, so this seemed like a worthwhile change.
Also fix guc.c's do_serialize() to initialize errno = 0 before
calling vsnprintf. In principle, this should be unnecessary because
vsnprintf should have set errno if it returns a failure indication ...
but the other two places this coding pattern is cribbed from don't
assume that, so let's be consistent.
These errors are all very old, so back-patch as appropriate. I think
that only the shell command overrun cases are even theoretically
reachable in practice, but there's not much point in erroneous error
checks.

While looking at a recent buildfarm failure in the ecpg tests, I wondered
why the pg_regress output claimed the stderr part of the test failed, when
the regression diffs were clearly for the stdout part. Looking into it,
the reason is that pg_regress.c's logic for iterating over three parallel
lists is wrong, and has been wrong since it was written: it advances the
"tag" pointer at a different place in the loop than the other two pointers.
Fix that.
A few command line options accepted by pg_regress were not being output
by help(), including --help itself. Add that one, as well as --version
and --bindir, and the corresponding short options for the first two.
We could consider this for backpatching, but it did not seem worthwhile
and no one else advocated for it, so apply only to master for now.

The previous coding here trashed the line buffer as it scanned it,
making it impossible to print the source line in subsequent error
messages. With a few save/restore/strdup pushups we can improve
that situation.
In passing, move the free'ing of the various strings that are collected
while processing one set of tests down to the bottom of the loop.
That's simpler, less surprising, and should make valgrind less unhappy
about the strings that were previously leaked by the last iteration.
We have a very old rule that parallel_schedule should have no more
than twenty tests in any one parallel group, so as to provide a
bound on the number of concurrently running processes needed to
pass the tests. But people keep forgetting the rule, so let's add

Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they
flow past the right margin.
By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are
within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding
left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the
continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin,
then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin,
if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of
the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations
unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column
limit.
This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers.
Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized
lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent
changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments
to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments
following #endif to not obey the general rule.
Commit e3860ffa4d wasn't actually using
the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that
tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of
code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be
moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's
code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops
in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working
in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the
net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed
one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves
more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such
cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after
the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after.
Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same
as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else.
That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage
from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent.
This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent

Previously if a directory had both isolationtester and plain
regression tests, they couldn't be run in parallel, because they'd
access the same files/directories. That, so far, only affected

Rather than fix that locally in contrib/test_decoding, improve
pg_regress_isolation_[install]check to use separate resources from

Before pg_regress runs psql, set the application name to the test name.
Similarly, set the application name to the test file name in the TAP

That way, the server log output can be correlated to the test input
files, making debugging a bit easier.
We weren't terribly consistent about whether to call Apple's OS "OS X"
