Commit f5e4dedfa exposed libpq's internal function PQsocketPoll
without a lot of thought about whether that was an API we really
wanted to chisel in stone. The main problem with it is the use of
time_t to specify the timeout. While we do want an absolute time
so that a loop around PQsocketPoll doesn't have problems with
timeout slippage, time_t has only 1-second resolution. That's
already problematic for libpq's own internal usage --- for example,
pqConnectDBComplete has long had a kluge to treat "connect_timeout=1"
as 2 seconds so that it doesn't accidentally round to nearly zero.
And it's even less likely to be satisfactory for external callers.
Hence, let's change this while we still can.
The best idea seems to be to use an int64 count of microseconds since
the epoch --- basically the same thing as the backend's TimestampTz,
but let's use the standard Unix epoch (1970-01-01) since that's more
likely for clients to be easy to calculate. Millisecond resolution
would be plenty for foreseeable uses, but maybe the day will come that
we're glad we used microseconds.
Also, since time(2) isn't especially helpful for computing timeouts
defined this way, introduce a new function PQgetCurrentTimeUSec
to get the current time in this form.
Remove the hack in pqConnectDBComplete, so that "connect_timeout=1"
now means what you'd expect.
We can also remove the "#include <time.h>" that f5e4dedfa added to
libpq-fe.h, since there's no longer a need for time_t in that header.
It seems better for v17 not to enlarge libpq-fe.h's include footprint
from what it's historically been, anyway.
I also failed to resist the temptation to do some wordsmithing
on PQsocketPoll's documentation.
Patch by me, per complaint from Dominique Devienne.

Files in common/ and fe_utils/ that contain translatable strings need
to be listed in the nls.mk files of the programs that use them. (Not
great, but that's the way it works for now.) This usually requires
some manual analysis which is done about once during each major
release beta period. This time, I wrote a hackish script that figures
some of this out more automatically, so this update is a bit larger as
it also includes some files that were missed in the past.
This feature set did not handle empty ranges correctly, and it's now

Run pgindent, pgperltidy, and reformat-dat-files.
The pgindent part of this is pretty small, consisting mainly of
fixing up self-inflicted formatting damage from patches that
hadn't bothered to add their new typedefs to typedefs.list.
In order to keep it from making anything worse, I manually added
a dozen or so typedefs that appeared in the existing typedefs.list
but not in the buildfarm's list. Perhaps we should formalize that,
or better find a way to get those typedefs into the automatic list.
pgperltidy is as opinionated as always, and reformat-dat-files too.

\dD showed domain check constraints in arbitrary order, which can
cause regression test failures, which was exposed by commit
9895b35cb8. To fix, order the constraints by conname, which matches
what psql does in other queries listing constraints.
This addresses a few problems with commit e5da0fe3c22 ("Catalog domain
not-null constraints").
In CREATE DOMAIN, a NOT NULL constraint looks like
CREATE DOMAIN d1 AS int [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL
(Before e5da0fe3c22, the constraint name was accepted but ignored.)
But in ALTER DOMAIN, a NOT NULL constraint looks like
ALTER DOMAIN d1 ADD [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL VALUE
where VALUE is where for a table constraint the column name would be.
(This works as of e5da0fe3c22. Before e5da0fe3c22, this syntax
resulted in an internal error.)
But for domains, this latter syntax is confusing and needlessly
inconsistent between CREATE and ALTER. So this changes it to just
ALTER DOMAIN d1 ADD [ CONSTRAINT conname ] NOT NULL
(None of these syntaxes are per SQL standard; we are just living with
the bits of inconsistency that have built up over time.)
In passing, this also changes the psql \dD output to not show not-null
constraints in the column "Check", since it's already shown in the
column "Nullable". This has also been off since e5da0fe3c22.

After a query cancel, the tail end of ExecQueryAndProcessResults
took care to clear any not-yet-read PGresults; but it forgot about
the one it has already read. There would only be such a result
when handling a multi-command string made with "\;", so that you'd
have to cancel an earlier command in such a string to reach the
bug at all. Even then, there would only be leakage of a single
PGresult per cancel, so it's not surprising nobody noticed this.
But a leak is a leak.
Noted while re-reviewing 90f517821, but this is independent of that:
it dates to 7844c9918. Back-patch to v15 where that came in.
Alexander Lakhin noted an obsolete comment, which led me to revisit
some other important comments in the patch, and that study turned up a
couple of unintended ways in which the chunked-fetch code path didn't
match the normal code path in ExecQueryAndProcessResults. The only
nontrivial problem is that it didn't call PrintQueryStatus, so that
we'd not print the final status result from DML ... RETURNING
commands. To avoid code duplication, move the filter for whether a
result is from RETURNING from PrintQueryResult to PrintQueryStatus.

Additionally, a special function merge_action() is provided, which
returns 'INSERT', 'UPDATE', or 'DELETE', depending on the action

New provider for collations, like "libc" or "icu", but without any
external dependency.
Initially, the only locale supported by the builtin provider is "C",
which is identical to the libc provider's "C" locale. The libc
provider's "C" locale has always been treated as a special case that
uses an internal implementation, without using libc at all -- so the
new builtin provider uses the same implementation.
The builtin provider's locale is independent of the server environment
variables LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE. Using the builtin provider, the
database collation locale can be "C" while LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE are
set to "en_US", which is impossible with the libc provider.
By offering a new builtin provider, it clarifies that the semantics of
a collation using this provider will never depend on libc, and makes
it easier to document the behavior.

for that and is nicely compact. Changing this now avoids possibly

Essentially this moves the non-interactive part of psql's "\password"
command into an exported client function. The password is not sent to the
server in cleartext because it is "encrypted" (in the case of scram and md5
it is actually hashed, but we have called these encrypted passwords for a
long time now) on the client side. This is good because it ensures the
cleartext password is never known by the server, and therefore won't end up
in logs, pg_stat displays, etc.
In other words, it exists for the same reason as PQencryptPasswordConn(), but
is more convenient as it both builds and runs the "ALTER USER" command for
you. PQchangePassword() uses PQencryptPasswordConn() to do the password
encryption. PQencryptPasswordConn() is passed a NULL for the algorithm
argument, hence encryption is done according to the server's
password_encryption setting.
Also modify the psql client to use the new function. That provides a builtin
test case. Ultimately drivers built on top of libpq should expose this
function and its use should be generally encouraged over doing ALTER USER
directly for password changes.

are probably always mistakes on the developer side (true positives).
Typical examples are warnings from genbki.pl or related when you make

when they massage a config file that looks different on different
hosts, or mistakes during merges (e.g., duplicate subroutine

This changes all warnings into fatal errors, by replacing

Default privileges are represented as NULL::aclitem[] in catalog ACL
columns, while revoking all privileges leaves an empty aclitem[].
These two cases used to produce identical output in psql meta-commands
like \dp. Using something like "\pset null '(default)'" as a
workaround for spotting the difference did not work, because null
values were always displayed as empty strings by describe.c's
meta-commands.
This patch improves that with two changes:
1. Print "(none)" for empty privileges so that the user is able to
distinguish them from default privileges, even without special
workarounds.
2. Remove the special handling of null values in describe.c,
so that "\pset null" is honored like everywhere else.
(This affects all output from these commands, not only ACLs.)
The privileges shown by \dconfig+ and \ddp as well as the column
privileges shown by \dp are not affected by change #1, because the
respective aclitem[] is reset to NULL or deleted from the catalog
