We usually don't use "namespace" in user-facing error messages.  Also,
in master this was replaced by another error message referring to
"temporary objects", so we might as well use that here to avoid
introducing too many variants.

Renaming varchar_transform to varchar_support had a side effect
I hadn't foreseen: the core regression tests leave around a
transform object that relies on that function, so the name
change breaks cross-version upgrade tests, because the name
used in the older branches doesn't match.

Since the dependency on varchar_transform was chosen with the
aid of a dartboard anyway (it would surely not work as a
language transform support function), fix by just choosing
a different random builtin function with the right signature.
Also add some comments explaining why this isn't horribly unsafe.

I chose to make the same substitution in a couple of other
copied-and-pasted test cases, for consistency, though those
aren't directly contributing to the testing problem.

Per buildfarm.  Back-patch, else it doesn't fix the problem.

warn_or_exit_horribly() was blithely passing a potentially-NULL
string pointer to a %s format specifier.  That works (at least
to the extent of not crashing) on some platforms, but not all,
and since we switched to our own snprintf.c it doesn't work
for us anywhere.

Of the three string fields being handled this way here, I think
that only "owner" is supposed to be nullable ... but considering
that this is error-reporting code, it has very little business
assuming anything, so put in defenses for all three.

Per a crash observed on buildfarm member crake and then
reproduced here.  Because of the portability aspect,
back-patch to all supported versions.

The previous ordering of these steps satisfied the nominal requirement
that set_rel_pathlist_hook could editorialize on the whole set of Paths
constructed for a base relation.  In practice, though, trying to change
the set of partial paths was impossible.  Adding one didn't work because
(a) it was too late to be included in Gather paths made by the core code,
and (b) calling add_partial_path after generate_gather_paths is unsafe,
because it might try to delete a path it thinks is dominated, but that
is already embedded in some Gather path(s).  Nor could the hook safely
remove partial paths, for the same reason that they might already be
embedded in Gathers.

Better to call extensions first, let them add partial paths as desired,
and then gather.  In v11 and up, we already doubled down on that ordering
by postponing gathering even further for single-relation queries; so even
if the hook wished to editorialize on Gather path construction, it could
not.

Report and patch by KaiGai Kohei.  Back-patch to 9.6 where Gather paths
were added.

While this isn't really supposed to happen, it can occur in OOM
situations and perhaps others.  Instead of crashing, substitute
"(no message provided)".

I didn't worry about localizing this text, since we aren't
localizing anything else here; besides, if we're on the edge of
OOM, it's unlikely gettext() would work.

Also clean up some discussion that had been left in a very confused
state thanks to half-hearted adjustments for the change to
standard_conforming_strings being the default.

As reported in bug #15613 from Srinivasan S A, file_fdw and postgres_fdw
neglected to mark plain baserel foreign paths as parameterized when the
relation has lateral_relids.  Other FDWs have surely copied this mistake,
so rather than just patching those two modules, install a band-aid fix
in create_foreignscan_path to rectify the mistake centrally.

Although the band-aid is enough to fix the visible symptom, correct
the calls in file_fdw and postgres_fdw anyway, so that they are valid
examples for external FDWs.

Also, since the band-aid isn't enough to make this work for parameterized
foreign joins, throw an elog(ERROR) if such a case is passed to
create_foreignscan_path.  This shouldn't pose much of a problem for
existing external FDWs, since it's likely they aren't trying to make such
paths anyway (though some of them may need a defense against joins with
lateral_relids, similar to the one this patch installs into postgres_fdw).

Add some assertions in relnode.c to catch future occurrences of the same
error --- in particular, as backstop against core-code mistakes like the
one fixed by commit bdd9a99aa.
