Sometimes in CI failure_online_move_shard_placement fails with the
following error:
```diff

This error is not completely harmless, because based on the logs it mean
that our cleanup logic failed, which in turn means that replication
slots are left around:
```
2022-08-24 16:01:29.247 UTC [1219] ERROR: XX000: tuple concurrently updated

```
However, we have other mechanisms to clean up any leftovers in case of a
failed cleanup. So it's not that big of a problem.
The reason we run into this error is arguably because of a Postgres bug,
so I created a patch for Postgres that fixes this.
While we wait for this (or a similar) patch to be merged, this PR
disables the flaky test. There's still a test that tests in case of a
connection "kill" instead of a "cancel", so I don't think we lose very
important coverage by disabling this test. When trying to reproduce this
I only hit this issue in the cancel case, so I don't think there's a
need to disable the kill case for now.
When introducing non-blocking shard split functionality it was based
heavily on the non-blocking shard moves. However, differences between
usage was slightly to big to be able to reuse the existing functions
easily. So, most logical replication code was simply copied to dedicated
shard split functions and modified for that purpose.
This PR tries to create a more generic logical replication
infrastructure that can be used by both shard splits and shard moves.
There's probably more code sharing possible in the future, but I believe
this is at least a good start and addresses the lowest hanging fruit.
This also adds a CreateSimpleHash function that makes creating the
most common type of hashmap common.
DESCRIPTION: Use faster custom copy logic for non-blocking shard moves
Non-blocking shard moves consist of two main phases:
1. Initial data copy
2. Catchup phase
This changes the first of these phases significantly. Previously we used the
copy logic provided by postgres subscriptions. This meant we didn't have
to implement it ourselves, but it came with the downside of little control.
When implementing shard splits we needed more control to even make it
work, so we implemented our own logic for copying data between nodes.
This PR starts using that logic for non-blocking shard moves. Doing so
has four main advantages:
1. It uses COPY in binary format when possible, which is cheaper to encode
and decode. Furthermore it very often results in less data that needs to
be sent over the network.
2. It allows us to create the primary key (or other replica identity) after doing
the initial data copy. This should give some speed up over the total run,
because creating an index is bulk is much faster than incrementally building it.
3. It doesn't require a replication slot per parallel copy. Increasing the maximum
number of replication slots uses resources in postgres, even if they are not used.
So reducing the number of replication slots that shard moves need is nice.
4. Logical replication table_sync workers are slow to start up, so if lots of shards
need to be copied that can make it quite slow. This can happen easily when
combining Postgres partitioning with Citus.
This PR makes all of the features open source that were previously only
available in Citus Enterprise.
Features that this adds:
1. Non blocking shard moves/shard rebalancer
(`citus.logical_replication_timeout`)
2. Propagation of CREATE/DROP/ALTER ROLE statements
3. Propagation of GRANT statements
4. Propagation of CLUSTER statements
5. Propagation of ALTER DATABASE ... OWNER TO ...
6. Optimization for COPY when loading JSON to avoid double parsing of
the JSON object (`citus.skip_jsonb_validation_in_copy`)
7. Support for row level security
8. Support for `pg_dist_authinfo`, which allows storing different
authentication options for different users, e.g. you can store
passwords or certificates here.
9. Support for `pg_dist_poolinfo`, which allows using connection poolers
in between coordinator and workers
10. Tracking distributed query execution times using
citus_stat_statements (`citus.stat_statements_max`,
`citus.stat_statements_purge_interval`,
`citus.stat_statements_track`). This is disabled by default.
11. Blocking tenant_isolation
12. Support for `sslkey` and `sslcert` in `citus.node_conninfo`
