This is prep work for successful compilation with PG17
PG17added foreach_ptr, foreach_int and foreach_oid macros

We already have these macros, but they are different with the
PG17 ones because our macros take a DECLARED variable, whereas
the PG16 macros declare a locally-scoped loop variable themselves.
Hence I am renaming our macros to foreach_declared_
I am separating this into its own PR since it touches many files. The
main compilation PR is https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/7699
Similar to https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/7077.
As PG 16+ has changed the join restriction information for certain outer
joins, MERGE is also impacted given that is is also underlying an outer
join.
See #7077 for the details.
1) For distributed tables that are not colocated.
2) When joining on a non-distribution column for colocated tables.
3) When merging into a distributed table using reference or citus-local tables as the data source.
This is accomplished primarily through the implementation of the following two strategies.
Repartition: Plan the source query independently,
execute the results into intermediate files, and repartition the files to
co-locate them with the merge-target table. Subsequently, compile a final
merge query on the target table using the intermediate results as the data
source.
Pull-to-coordinator: Execute the plan that requires evaluation at the coordinator,
run the query on the coordinator, and redistribute the resulting rows to ensure
colocation with the target shards. Direct the MERGE SQL operation to the worker
nodes' target shards, using the intermediate files colocated with the data as the
data source.
