When MERGE/SPLIT created new partitions, it was cloning the extended
statistics of the parent table.
However, extended stats on partitioned tables don't behave like
indexes on partitioned tables (which exist only to create physical
indexes on child tables). Rather, extended stats on a parent 1) cause
extended stats to be collected and computed across the whole partition
hierarchy, and 2) do not cause extended stats to be computed for the
individual partitions.
"CREATE TABLE ... PARTITION OF" command doesn't copy extended
statistics. This commit makes createPartitionTable() behave
consistently.

This reverts commit e1e83a7171.
Per further discussion on pgsql-release, we wish to ship beta1 with
that feature, and patch the bug, rather than shipping beta1 with
that feature reverted.
After further review, we want to move in the direction of always
quoting GUC names in error messages, rather than the previous (PG16)
wildly mixed practice or the intermittent (mid-PG17) idea of doing
this depending on how possibly confusing the GUC name is.
This commit applies appropriate quotes to (almost?) all mentions of
GUC names in error messages. It partially supersedes a243569bf6 and
8d9978a717, which had moved things a bit in the opposite direction
but which then were abandoned in a partial state.

There were three problems with the sslnegotiation options:
1. The sslmode=prefer and sslnegotiation=requiredirect combination was
somewhat dangerous, as you might unintentionally fall back to
plaintext authentication when connecting to a pre-v17 server.
2. There was an asymmetry between 'postgres' and 'direct'
options. 'postgres' meant "try only traditional negotiation", while
'direct' meant "try direct first, and fall back to traditional
negotiation if it fails". That was apparent only if you knew that the
'requiredirect' mode also exists.
3. The "require" word in 'requiredirect' suggests that it's somehow
more strict or more secure, similar to sslmode. However, I don't
consider direct SSL connections to be a security feature.
To address these problems:
- Only allow sslnegotiation='direct' if sslmode='require' or
stronger. And for the record, Jacob and Robert felt that we should do
that (or have sslnegotiation='direct' imply sslmode='require') anyway,
regardless of the first issue.
- Remove the 'direct' mode that falls back to traditional negotiation,
and rename what was called 'requiredirect' to 'direct' instead. In
other words, there is no "try both methods" option anymore, 'postgres'
now means the traditional negotiation and 'direct' means a direct SSL
connection.

The CREATE SUBSCRIPTION documentation mentions "false" is the default
option, so let's use true|false rather than on|off in the text which
talks about this option in the ALTER SUBSCRIPTION page.
The other boolean options mentioned in create_subscription.sgml use true
and false so it makes sense to be consistent with these. The "failover"
option is new to v17.

expands the documentation of libpq's "option" connection parameter and
the server startup sequence for shell interactions to mention both

Presently, when this function is called for an unlogged sequence on
a standby server, it will error out with a message like
ERROR: could not open file "base/5/16388": No such file or directory
Since the pg_sequences system view uses pg_sequence_last_value(),
it can error similarly. To fix, modify the function to return NULL
for unlogged sequences on standby servers. Since this bug is
present on all versions since v15, this approach is preferable to
making the ERROR nicer because we need to repair the pg_sequences
view without modifying its definition on released versions. For
consistency, this commit also modifies the function to return NULL
for other sessions' temporary sequences. The pg_sequences view
already appropriately filters out such sequences, so there's no bug
there, but we might as well offer some defense in case someone
invokes this function directly.
Unlogged sequences were first introduced in v15, but temporary
sequences are much older, so while the fix for unlogged sequences
is only back-patched to v15, the temporary sequence portion is
back-patched to all supported versions.
We could also remove the privilege check in the pg_sequences view
definition in v18 if we modify this function to return NULL for
sequences for which the current user lacks privileges, but that is
left as a future exercise for when v18 development begins.

This commit extends the backend-side infrastructure of injection points
so as it becomes possible to register some input data when attaching a
point. This private data can be registered with the function name and
the library name of the callback when attaching a point, then it is
given as input argument to the callback. This gives the possibility for
modules to pass down custom data at runtime when attaching a point
without managing that internally, in a manner consistent with the
callback entry retrieved from the hash shmem table storing the injection
point data.
InjectionPointAttach() gains two arguments, to be able to define the
private data contents and its size.
A follow-up commit will rely on this infrastructure to close a race
condition with the injection point detach in the module
injection_points.
While on it, this changes InjectionPointDetach() to return a boolean,
returning false if a point cannot be detached. This has been mentioned
by Noah as useful when it comes to implement more complex tests with
concurrent point detach, solid with the automatic detach done for local
points in the test module.
Documentation is adjusted in consequence.
Per discussion with Noah Misch.

A lot of the examples in this section are quite ancient and no
longer match the system's current behavior. I ran through them
and updated the sample output to match what I get today.
Notably, it seems that the tenk1 table got a few pages smaller back
around v12, so that a lot of the cost estimates for queries on that
table are a little different now. (This also caused some examples
to surprisingly not match others, depending on when they were made.)
One mergejoin-based example no longer produces the same plan at all,
so I had to work around that, including switching to a different
example of using an enable_xxx setting.
I also changed a couple of examples that were relying on nonexistent
tables or indexes. IMO the premise of this section is that the
examples should be more-or-less reproducible against the regression
database, so that these examples were unhelpful as given. It's not
that hard to find a corresponding example with the tables we do have.
Some of the EXPLAIN ANALYZE examples were out of date in that we show
more numbers than we did at the time.
Possibly chapter 68 could use similar review, but I'm out of
energy for today.
