DESCRIPTION: Adds PG16Beta3 support
This is the final commit that adds
PG16 compatibility with Citus's current features.
You can use Citus community with PG16Beta3. This commit:
- Enables PG16 in the configure script.
- Adds PG16 tests to CI using test images that have 16beta3
- Skips wal2json cdc test since wal2json package is not available for PG16 yet
- Fixes an isolation test
Several PG16 Compatibility commits have been merged before this final one.

Use Citus helper UDFs by default in iso tests
PostgreSQL isolation test infrastructure uses some UDFs to detect
whether concurrent sessions block each other. Citus implements
alternatives to that UDF so that we are able to detect and report
distributed transactions that get blocked on the worker nodes as well.
We needed to explicitly replace PG helper functions with Citus
implementations in each isolation file. Now we replace them by default.
With this commit we've started to propagate sequences and shell
tables within the object dependency resolution. So, ensuring any
dependencies for any object will consider shell tables and sequences
as well. Separate logics for both shell tables and sequences have
been removed.
Since both shell tables and sequences logic were implemented as a
part of the metadata handling before that logic, we were propagating
them while syncing table metadata. With this commit we've divided
metadata (which means anything except shards thereafter) syncing
logic into multiple parts and implemented it either as a part of
ActivateNode. You can check the functions called in ActivateNode
to check definition of different metadata.
Definitions of start_metadata_sync_to_node and citus_activate_node
have also been updated. citus_activate_node will basically create
an active node with all metadata and reference table shards.
start_metadata_sync_to_node will be same with citus_activate_node
except replicating reference tables. stop_metadata_sync_to_node
will remove all the metadata. All of those UDFs need to be called
by superuser.
As of master branch, Citus does all the modifications to replicated tables
(e.g., reference tables and distributed tables with replication factor > 1),
via 2PC and avoids any shardstate=3. As a side-effect of those changes,
handling node failures for replicated tables change.
With this PR, when one (or multiple) node failures happen, the users would
see query errors on modifications. If the problem is intermitant, that's OK,
once the node failure(s) recover by themselves, the modification queries would
succeed. If the node failure(s) are permenant, the users should call
`SELECT citus_disable_node(...)` to disable the node. As soon as the node is
disabled, modification would start to succeed. However, now the old node gets
behind. It means that, when the node is up again, the placements should be
re-created on the node. First, use `SELECT citus_activate_node()`. Then, use
`SELECT replicate_table_shards(...)` to replicate the missing placements on
the re-activated node.
In our testing infra structure, even though we use pinned versions of postgres, the auxiliary libraries might pull in newer versions. This is for example the case for libpq, which will now use the libpq libraries from 14beta3.
The changes in this PR are a lot due to the libpq changes.
We also have changed the citus version that is used as a base for the citus upgrades, from 10.0 to 10.1 . This caused columnar to enforce some extra limits on the settings, which conflicted with our upgrade tests.
The changes in failure tests are due to the libpq changes.
There are also a lot of changes on isolation tests outputs, hence we
updated all of them.
