Adding more than 1 billion rows to a PGresult would overflow its ntups and
tupArrSize fields, leading to client crashes. It'd be desirable to use
wider fields on 64-bit machines, but because all of libpq's external APIs
use plain "int" for row counters, that's going to be hard to accomplish
without an ABI break. Given the lack of complaints so far, and the general
pain that would be involved in using such huge PGresults, let's settle for
just preventing the overflow and reporting a useful error message if it
does happen. Also, for a couple more lines of code we can increase the
threshold of trouble from INT_MAX/2 to INT_MAX rows.
To do that, refactor pqAddTuple() to allow returning an error message that
replaces the default assumption that it failed because of out-of-memory.
Along the way, fix PQsetvalue() so that it reports all failures via
pqInternalNotice(). It already did so in the case of bad field number,
but neglected to report anything for other error causes.
Because of the potential for crashes, this seems like a back-patchable
bug fix, despite the lack of field reports.

Fix thinko in commit 8be8510cf: it's okay to have dbid == 0 in normal
(non-pin) entries in pg_shdepend, because global objects such as
databases are entered that way. The test would pass so long as it
was run in a cluster containing no databases/tablespaces owned by,
or granted to, roles other than the bootstrap superuser. That's the
expected situation for "make check", but for "make installcheck", not
so much.

Commit 16be2fd100199bdf284becfcee02c5eb20d8a11d added DSA_ALLOC_HUGE,
DSA_ALLOC_ZERO and DSA_ALLOC_NO_OOM which have the same numerical
values and meanings as the similarly named MCXT_... macros. In one
place we accidentally used MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM when DSA_ALLOC_NO_OOM is
wanted, so tidy that up.

Commit 3eb9a5e7c unintentionally introduced an ordering dependency
into restore_toc_entries_prefork(). The existing coding of
reduce_dependencies() contains a check to skip moving a TOC entry
to the ready_list if it wasn't initially in the pending_list.
This used to suffice to prevent reduce_dependencies() from trying to
move anything into the ready_list during restore_toc_entries_prefork(),
because the pending_list stayed empty throughout that phase; but it no
longer does. The problem doesn't manifest unless the TOC has been
reordered by SortTocFromFile, which is how I missed it in testing.
To fix, just add a test for ready_list == NULL, converting the call
with NULL from a poor man's sanity check into an explicit command
not to touch TOC items' list membership. Clarify some of the comments
around this; in particular, note the primary purpose of the check for
pending_list membership, which is to ensure that we can't try to restore
the same item twice, in case a TOC list forces it to be restored before
its dependency count goes to zero.

That code patch was good as far as it went, but the associated test case
has exposed fundamental brain damage in the parallel scan mechanism,
which is going to take nontrivial work to correct. In the interests of
getting the buildfarm back to green so that unrelated work can proceed,
let's temporarily remove the test case.
Instead, lock them in the caller using find_all_inheritors so that
they get locked in the standard order, minimizing deadlock risks.
Also in RelationGetPartitionDispatchInfo, avoid opening tables which
are not partitioned; there's no need.

It now emerges that we can only rely on Perl to tell us we must use
-D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T if it's Perl 5.13.4 or later. For older versions,
revert to our previous practice of assuming we need that symbol in
all 32-bit Windows builds. This is not ideal, but inquiring into
which compiler version Perl was built with seems far too fragile.
In any case, we had not previously had complaints about these old
Perl versions, so let's assume this is Good Enough. (It's still
better than the situation ante commit 5a5c2feca, in that at least
the effects are confined to PL/Perl rather than the whole PG build.)
Back-patch to all supported versions, like 5a5c2feca and predecessors.

The initial implementation of autovacuum work-items used a dynamic
shared memory area (DSA). However, it's argued that dynamic shared
memory is not portable enough, so we cannot rely on it being supported
everywhere; at the same time, autovacuum work-items are now a critical
part of the server, so it's not acceptable that they don't work in the
cases where dynamic shared memory is disabled. Therefore, let's fall
back to a simpler implementation of work-items that just uses
autovacuum's main shared memory segment for storage.
