Add SPI-level support for executing SQL commands with one-time-use plans,
that is commands that have out-of-line parameters but the plan is prepared
assuming that the parameter values are constants. This is needed for the
plpgsql EXECUTE USING patch, but will probably have use elsewhere.
This commit includes the SPI functions and documentation, but no callers
nor regression tests. The upcoming EXECUTE USING patch will provide
regression-test coverage. I thought committing this separately made

Fix an oversight I made in a cleanup patch over a year ago:
eval_const_expressions needs to be passed the PlannerInfo ("root") structure,
because in some cases we want it to substitute values for Param nodes.
(So "constant" is not so constant as all that ...) This mistake partially
disabled optimization of unnamed extended-Query statements in 8.3: in
particular the LIKE-to-indexscan optimization would never be applied if the
LIKE pattern was passed as a parameter, and constraint exclusion depending
on a parameter value didn't work either.

Use error message wordings for permissions checks on .pgpass and SSL private

Fix a number of places that were making file-type tests infelicitously.
The places that did, eg,
(statbuf.st_mode & S_IFMT) == S_IFDIR
were correct, but there is no good reason not to use S_ISDIR() instead,
especially when that's what the other 90% of our code does. The places
that did, eg,
(statbuf.st_mode & S_IFDIR)

eg a symlink could be mistaken for a regular file on most Unixen.
The actual impact of this is probably small, since the problem cases
seem to always involve symlinks or sockets, which are unlikely to be
found in the directories that PG code might be scanning. But it's
clearly trouble waiting to happen, so patch all the way back anyway.

When we have successfully optimized a MIN or MAX aggregate into an indexscan,
the query result must be exactly one row (since we don't do this when there's
any GROUP BY). Therefore any ORDER BY or DISTINCT attached to the query is
useless and can be dropped. Aside from saving useless cycles, this protects
us against problems with matching the hacked-up tlist entries to sort clauses,
as seen in a bug report from Taiki Yamaguchi. We might need to work harder

solution will do for now.

Simplify and standardize conversions between TEXT datums and ordinary C

cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and
two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of
existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed.
Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one
function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used
to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin,
and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via
memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though).
This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory
leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach
text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few

Report the current queries of all backends involved in a deadlock
(if they'd be visible to the current user in pg_stat_activity).
This might look like it's subject to race conditions, but it's actually
pretty safe because at the time DeadLockReport() is constructing the
report, we haven't yet aborted our transaction and so we can expect that
everyone else involved in the deadlock is still blocked on some lock.
(There are corner cases where that might not be true, such as a statement
timeout triggering in another backend before we finish reporting; but at
worst we'd report a misleading activity string, so it seems acceptable
considering the usefulness of reporting the queries.)
