DESCRIPTION: Not automatically create citus_columnar when there are no
relations using it.
Previously, we were always creating citus_columnar when creating citus
with version >= 11.1. And how we were doing was as follows:
* Detach SQL objects owned by old columnar, i.e., "drop" them from
citus, but not actually drop them from the database
* "old columnar" is the one that we had before Citus 11.1 as part of
citus, i.e., before splitting the access method ands its catalog to
citus_columnar.
* Create citus_columnar and attach the SQL objects leftover from old
columnar to it so that we can continue supporting the columnar tables
that user had before Citus 11.1 with citus_columnar.
First part is unchanged, however, now we don't create citus_columnar
automatically anymore if the user didn't have any relations using
columnar. For this reason, as of Citus 13.2, when these SQL objects are
not owned by an extension and there are no relations using columnar
access method, we drop these SQL objects when updating Citus to 13.2.
The net effect is still the same as if we automatically created
citus_columnar and user dropped citus_columnar later, so we should not
have any issues with dropping them.
(**Update:** Seems we've made some assumptions in citus, e.g.,
citus_finish_pg_upgrade() still assumes columnar metadata exists and
tries to apply some fixes for it, so this PR fixes them as well. See the
last section of this PR description.)
Also, ideally I was hoping to just remove some lines of code from
extension.c, where we decide automatically creating citus_columnar when
creating citus, however, this didn't happen to be the case for two
reasons:
* We still need to automatically create it for the servers using
columnar access method.
* We need to clean-up the leftover SQL objects from old columnar when
the above is not case otherwise we would have leftover SQL objects from
old columnar for no reason, and that would confuse users too.
* Old columnar cannot be used to create columnar tables properly, so we
should clean them up and let the user decide whether they want to create
citus_columnar when they really need it later.
---
Also made several changes in the test suite because similarly, we don't
always want to have citus_columnar created in citus tests anymore:
* Now, columnar specific test targets, which cover **41** test sql
files, always install columnar by default, by using
"--load-extension=citus_columnar".
* "--load-extension=citus_columnar" is not added to citus specific test
targets because by default we don't want to have citus_columnar created
during citus tests.
* Excluding citus_columnar specific tests, we have **601** sql files
that we have as citus tests and in **27** of them we manually create
citus_columnar at the very beginning of the test because these tests do
test some functionalities of citus together with columnar tables.
Also, before and after schedules for PG upgrade tests are now duplicated
so we have two versions of each: one with columnar tests and one
without. To choose between them, check-pg-upgrade now supports a
"test-with-columnar" option, which can be set to "true" or anything else
to logically indicate "false". In CI, we run the check-pg-upgrade test
target with both options. The purpose is to ensure we can test PG
upgrades where citus_columnar is not created in the cluster before the
upgrade as well.
Finally, added more tests to multi_extension.sql to test Citus upgrade
scenarios with / without columnar tables / citus_columnar extension.
---
Also, seems citus_finish_pg_upgrade was assuming that citus_columnar is
always created but actually we should have never made such an
assumption. To fix that, moved columnar specific post-PG-upgrade work
from citus to a new columnar UDF, which is columnar_finish_pg_upgrade.
But to avoid breaking existing customer / managed service scripts, we
continue to automatically perform post PG-upgrade work for columnar
within citus_finish_pg_upgrade, but only if columnar access method
exists this time.

When performing a partition-wise join, the planner will adjust paths
parameterized by the parent rel to instead parameterize by the child
rel directly. When this reparameterization happens, we also need to
adjust the join quals to reference the child rather than the parent.
Fixes#5257.
Enables an overall plan to be parallel (e.g. over a partition
hierarchy), even though an individual ColumnarScan is not
parallel-aware.
