Create directories and files with pg_file_create_mode and pg_dir_create_mode permissions (#7479)
Since Postgres commit da9b580d files and directories are supposed to
be created with pg_file_create_mode and pg_dir_create_mode permissions
when default permissions are expected.

This fixes a failure of one of the postgres tests:
If we create file add.conf containing
```
shared_preload_libraries='citus'
```
and run postgres tests
```
TEMP_CONFIG=/path/to/add.conf make installcheck -C src/bin/pg_ctl/
```
then 001_start_stop.pl fails with
```
.../data/base/pgsql_job_cache mode must be 0750
```
in the log.

In passing this also stops creating directories that we haven't used
since Citus 7.4

This change explicitely doesn't change permissions of certificates/keys
that we create.

Adds 2PC distributed commands from other databases (#7203)
DESCRIPTION: Adds support for 2PC from non-Citus main databases

This PR only adds support for `CREATE USER` queries, other queries need
to be added. But it should be simple because this PR creates the
underlying structure.

Citus main database is the database where the Citus extension is
created. A non-main database is all the other databases that are in the
same node with a Citus main database.

When a `CREATE USER` query is run on a non-main database we:

1. Run `start_management_transaction` on the main database. This
function saves the outer transaction's xid (the non-main database
query's transaction id) and marks the current query as main db command.
2. Run `execute_command_on_remote_nodes_as_user("CREATE USER
<username>", <username to run the command>)` on the main database. This
function creates the users in the rest of the cluster by running the
query on the other nodes. The user on the current node is created by the
query on the outer, non-main db, query to make sure consequent commands
in the same transaction can see this user.
3. Run `mark_object_distributed` on the main database. This function
adds the user to `pg_dist_object` in all of the nodes, including the
current one.

This PR also implements transaction recovery for the queries from
non-main databases.

Sort includes (#7326)
This change adds a script to programatically group all includes in a
specific order. The script was used as a one time invocation to group
and sort all includes throught our formatted code. The grouping is as
follows:

 - System includes (eg. `#include<...>`)
 - Postgres.h (eg. `#include "postgres.h"`)
- Toplevel imports from postgres, not contained in a directory (eg.
`#include "miscadmin.h"`)
 - General postgres includes (eg . `#include "nodes/..."`)
- Toplevel citus includes, not contained in a directory (eg. `#include
"citus_verion.h"`)
 - Columnar includes (eg. `#include "columnar/..."`)
 - Distributed includes (eg. `#include "distributed/..."`)

Because it is quite hard to understand the difference between toplevel
citus includes and toplevel postgres includes it hardcodes the list of
toplevel citus includes. In the same manner it assumes anything not
prefixed with `columnar/` or `distributed/` as a postgres include.

The sorting/grouping is enforced by CI. Since we do so with our own
script there are not changes required in our uncrustify configuration.

Adds create / drop database propagation support (#7240)
DESCRIPTION: Adds support for propagating `CREATE`/`DROP` database

In this PR, create and drop database support is added.

For CREATE DATABASE:
* "oid" option is not supported
* specifying "strategy" to be different than "wal_log" is not supported
* specifying "template" to be different than "template1" is not
supported

The last two are because those are not saved in `pg_database` and when
activating a node, we cannot assume what parameters were provided when
creating the database.

And "oid" is not supported because whether user specified an arbitrary
oid when creating the database is not saved in pg_database and we want
to avoid from oid collisions that might arise from attempting to use an
auto-assigned oid on workers.

Finally, in case of node activation, GRANTs for the database are also
propagated.

Propagates SECURITY LABEL ON ROLE stmt (#7304)
We propagate `SECURITY LABEL [for provider] ON ROLE rolename IS
labelname` to the worker nodes.
We also make sure to run the relevant `SecLabelStmt` commands on a
newly added node by looking at roles found in `pg_shseclabel`.

See official docs for explanation on how this command works:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-security-label.html
This command stores the role label in the `pg_shseclabel` catalog table.

This commit also fixes the regex string in
`check_gucs_are_alphabetically_sorted.sh` script such that it escapes
the dot. Previously it was looking for all strings starting with "citus"
instead of "citus." as it should.

To test this feature, I currently make use of a special GUC to control
label provider registration in PG_init when creating the Citus extension.

Start Maintenance Daemon for Main DB at the server start. (#7254)
DESCRIPTION: This change starts a maintenance deamon at the time of
server start if there is a designated main database.

This is the code flow:

1. User designates a main database:
   `ALTER SYSTEM SET citus.main_db =  "myadmindb";`

2. When postmaster starts, in _PG_Init, citus calls 
    `InitializeMaintenanceDaemonForMainDb`
  
This function registers a background worker to run
`CitusMaintenanceDaemonMain `with `databaseOid = 0 `

3. `CitusMaintenanceDaemonMain ` takes some special actions when
databaseOid is 0:
     - Gets the citus.main_db  value.
     - Connects to the  citus.main_db
     - Now the `MyDatabaseId `is available, creates a hash entry for it.
     - Then follows the same control flow as for a regular db,

Improve the performance of CitusHasBeenLoaded function for a database that does not do CREATE EXTENSION citus but load citus.so. (#7123)
For a database that does not create the citus extension by running

`  CREATE EXTENSION citus;`

`CitusHasBeenLoaded ` function ends up querying the `pg_extension` table
every time it is invoked. This is not an ideal situation for a such a
database.

The idea in this PR is as follows:

### A new field in MetadataCache.
 Add a new variable `extensionCreatedState `of the following type:

```
typedef enum ExtensionCreatedState
{
        UNKNOWN = 0,
        CREATED = 1,
        NOTCREATED = 2,
} ExtensionCreatedState;
```
When the MetadataCache is invalidated, `ExtensionCreatedState` will be
set to UNKNOWN.
     
### Invalidate MetadataCache when CREATE/DROP/ALTER EXTENSION citus
commands are run.

- Register a callback function, named
`InvalidateDistRelationCacheCallback`, for relcache invalidation during
the shared library initialization for `citus.so`. This callback function
is invoked in all the backends whenever the relcache is invalidated in
one of the backends. (This could be caused many DDLs operations).

- In the cache invalidation callback,`
InvalidateDistRelationCacheCallback`, invalidate `MetadataCache` zeroing
it out.
 
- In `CitusHasBeenLoaded`, perform the costly citus is loaded check only
if the `MetadataCache` is not valid.
 
### Downsides

Any relcache invalidation (caused by various DDL operations) will case
Citus MetadataCache to get invalidated. Most of the time it will be
unnecessary. But we rely on that DDL operations on relations will not be
too frequent.

PG16 compatibility - get_relation_info hook to avoid crash from adjusted partitioning (#7099)
PG16 compatibility - Part 5

Check out part 1 42d956888d
part 2 0d503dd5ac
part 3 907d72e60d
part 4 7c6b4ce103

This commit is in the series of PG16 compatibility commits. Find the explanation below:

If we allow to adjust partitioning, we get a crash when accessing
amcostestimate of partitioned indexes, because amcostestimate is NULL
for them. The following PG commit is the culprit:
3c569049b7
3c569049b7b502bb4952483d19ce622ff0af5fd6
Previously, partitioned indexes would just be ignored.
Now, they are added in the list. However get_relation_info expects the
tables which have partitioned indexes to have the inh flag set properly.
AdjustPartitioningForDistributedPlanning plays with that flag, hence we
don't get the desired behaviour.
The hook is simply removing all partitioned indexes from the list.

More PG16 compatibility commits are coming soon ...

Change by_disk_size rebalance strategy to have a base size (#7035)
One problem with rebalancing by disk size is that shards in newly
created collocation groups are considered extremely small. This can
easily result in bad balances if there are some other collocation groups
that do have some data. One extremely bad example of this is:
1. You have 2 workers
2. Both contain about 100GB of data, but there's a 70MB difference.
3. You create 100 new distributed schemas with a few empty tables in
   them
4. You run the rebalancer
5. Now all new distributed schemas are placed on the node with that had
   70MB less.
6. You start loading some data in these shards and quickly the balance
   is completely off

To address this edge case, this PR changes the by_disk_size rebalance
strategy to add a a base size of 100MB to the actual size of each
shard group. This can still result in a bad balance when shard groups
are empty, but it solves some of the worst cases.

Previously we would rely on the fact that NodeConninfo initial value
is an empty string. However, with PG16 enforcing same initial and boot
values, we can't use an empty initial value for NodeConninfo anymore.
Therefore we add a new flag to indicate whether we are at boot check.

Add support for schema-based-sharding via a GUC (#6866)
DESCRIPTION: Adds citus.enable_schema_based_sharding GUC that allows
sharding the database based on schemas when enabled.

* Refactor the logic that automatically creates Citus managed tables 

* Refactor CreateSingleShardTable() to allow specifying colocation id
instead

* Add support for schema-based-sharding via a GUC

### What this PR is about:
Add **citus.enable_schema_based_sharding GUC** to enable schema-based
sharding. Each schema created while this GUC is ON will be considered
as a tenant schema. Later on, regardless of whether the GUC is ON or
OFF, any table created in a tenant schema will be converted to a
single shard distributed table (without a shard key). All the tenant
tables that belong to a particular schema will be co-located with each
other and will have a shard count of 1.

We introduce a new metadata table --pg_dist_tenant_schema-- to do the
bookkeeping for tenant schemas:
```sql
psql> \d pg_dist_tenant_schema
          Table "pg_catalog.pg_dist_tenant_schema"
┌───────────────┬─────────┬───────────┬──────────┬─────────┐
│    Column     │  Type   │ Collation │ Nullable │ Default │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────────┼──────────┼─────────┤
│ schemaid      │ oid     │           │ not null │         │
│ colocationid  │ integer │           │ not null │         │
└───────────────┴─────────┴───────────┴──────────┴─────────┘
Indexes:
    "pg_dist_tenant_schema_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (schemaid)
    "pg_dist_tenant_schema_unique_colocationid_index" UNIQUE, btree (colocationid)

psql> table pg_dist_tenant_schema;
┌───────────┬───────────────┐
│ schemaid  │ colocationid  │
├───────────┼───────────────┤
│     41963 │            91 │
│     41962 │            90 │
└───────────┴───────────────┘
(2 rows)
```

Colocation id column of pg_dist_tenant_schema can never be NULL even
for the tenant schemas that don't have a tenant table yet. This is
because, we assign colocation ids to tenant schemas as soon as they
are created. That way, we can keep associating tenant schemas with
particular colocation groups even if all the tenant tables of a tenant
schema are dropped and recreated later on.

When a tenant schema is dropped, we delete the corresponding row from
pg_dist_tenant_schema. In that case, we delete the corresponding
colocation group from pg_dist_colocation as well.

### Future work for 12.0 release:
We're building schema-based sharding on top of the infrastructure that
adds support for creating distributed tables without a shard key
(https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/6867).
However, not all the operations that can be done on distributed tables
without a shard key necessarily make sense (in the same way) in the
context of schema-based sharding. For example, we need to think about
what happens if user attempts altering schema of a tenant table. We
will tackle such scenarios in a future PR.

We will also add a new UDF --citus.schema_tenant_set() or such-- to
allow users to use an existing schema as a tenant schema, and another
one --citus.schema_tenant_unset() or such-- to stop using a schema as
a tenant schema in future PRs.

Adds control for background task executors involving a node (#6771)
DESCRIPTION: Adds control for background task executors involving a node

### Background and motivation

Nonblocking concurrent task execution via background workers was
introduced in [#6459](https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/6459), and
concurrent shard moves in the background rebalancer were introduced in
[#6756](https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/6756) - with a hard
dependency that limits to 1 shard move per node. As we know, a shard
move consists of a shard moving from a source node to a target node. The
hard dependency was used because the background task runner didn't have
an option to limit the parallel shard moves per node.

With the motivation of controlling the number of concurrent shard
moves that involve a particular node, either as source or target, this
PR introduces a general new GUC
citus.max_background_task_executors_per_node to be used in the
background task runner infrastructure. So, why do we even want to
control and limit the concurrency? Well, it's all about resource
availability: because the moves involve the same nodes, extra
parallelism won’t make the rebalance complete faster if some resource is
already maxed out (usually cpu or disk). Or, if the cluster is being
used in a production setting, the moves might compete for resources with
production queries much more than if they had been executed
sequentially.

### How does it work?

A new column named nodes_involved is added to the catalog table that
keeps track of the scheduled background tasks,
pg_dist_background_task. It is of type integer[] - to store a list
of node ids. It is NULL by default - the column will be filled by the
rebalancer, but we may not care about the nodes involved in other uses

A hashtable named ParallelTasksPerNode keeps track of the number of
parallel running background tasks per node. An entry in the hashtable is
as follows:

ParallelTasksPerNodeEntry
{
	node_id // The node is used as the hash table key 
	counter // Number of concurrent background tasks that involve node node_id
                // The counter limit is citus.max_background_task_executors_per_node
}

When the background task runner assigns a runnable task to a new
executor, it increments the counter for each of the nodes involved with
that runnable task. The limit of each counter is
citus.max_background_task_executors_per_node. If the limit is reached
for any of the nodes involved, this runnable task is skipped. And then,
later, when the running task finishes, the background task runner
decrements the counter for each of the nodes involved with the done
task. The following functions take care of these increment-decrement
steps:

IncrementParallelTaskCountForNodesInvolved(task)
DecrementParallelTaskCountForNodesInvolved(task)

citus.max_background_task_executors_per_node can be changed in the
fly. In the background rebalancer, we simply give {source_node,
target_node} as the nodesInvolved input to the
ScheduleBackgroundTask function. The rest is taken care of by the
general background task runner infrastructure explained above. Check
background_task_queue_monitor.sql and
background_rebalance_parallel.sql tests for detailed examples.

#### Note

This PR also adds a hard node dependency if a node is first being used
as a source for a move, and then later as a target. The reason this
should be a hard dependency is that the first move might make space for
the second move. So, we could run out of disk space (or at least
overload the node) if we move the second shard to it before the first
one is moved away.

Multi tenant monitoring (#6725)
DESCRIPTION: Adds views that monitor statistics on tenant usages

This PR adds `citus_stats_tenants` view that monitors the tenants on the
cluster.

`citus_stats_tenants` shows the node id, colocation id, tenant
attribute, read count in this period and last period, and query count in
this period and last period of the tenant.
Tenant attribute currently is the tenant's distribution column value,
later when schema based sharding is introduced, this meaning might
change.
A period is a time bucket the queries are counted by. Read and query
counts for this period can increase until the current period ends. After
that those counts are moved to last period's counts, which cannot
change. The period length can be set using 'citus.stats_tenants_period'.

`SELECT` queries are counted as _read_ queries, `INSERT`, `UPDATE` and
`DELETE` queries are counted as _write_ queries. So in the view read
counts are `SELECT` counts and query counts are `SELECT`, `INSERT`,
`UPDATE` and `DELETE` count.

The data is stored in shared memory, in a struct named
`MultiTenantMonitor`.

`citus_stats_tenants` shows the data from local tenants.

`citus_stats_tenants` show up to `citus.stats_tenant_limit` number of
tenants.
The tenants are scored based on the number of queries they run and the
recency of those queries. Every query ran increases the score of tenant
by `ONE_QUERY_SCORE`, and after every period ends the scores are halved.
Halving is done lazily.
To retain information a longer the monitor keeps up to 3 times
`citus.stats_tenant_limit` tenants. When the tenant count hits `3 *
citus.stats_tenant_limit`, last `citus.stats_tenant_limit` tenants are
removed. To see all stored tenants you can use
`citus_stats_tenants(return_all_tenants := true)`

Make CDC decoder an independent extension (#6810)
DESCRIPTION: 

- The CDC decoder is refacroted into a seperate extension that can be used loaded dynamically without having to reload citus.
- CDC decoder code can be compiled using DECODER flag to work with different decoders like pgoutput and wal2json.
   by default the base decode is "pgoutput".
- the dynamic_library_path config is adjusted dynamically to prefer the decoders in cdc_decoders directory in citus init
  so that the users can use the replication subscription commands without having to make any config changes.

CDC implementation for Citus using Logical Replication (#6623)
Description:
Implementing CDC changes using Logical Replication to avoid
re-publishing events multiple times by setting up replication origin
session, which will add "DoNotReplicateId" to every WAL entry.
   - shard splits
   - shard moves
   - create distributed table
   - undistribute table
   - alter distributed tables (for some cases)
   - reference table operations
   

The citus decoder which will be decoding WAL events for CDC clients, 
ignores any WAL entry with replication origin that is not zero.
It also maps the shard names to distributed table names.

Add a GUC to disallow planning the queries that reference non-colocated tables via router planner (#6793)
Today we allow planning the queries that reference non-colocated tables
if the shards that query targets are placed on the same node. However,
this may not be the case, e.g., after rebalancing shards because it's
not guaranteed to have those shards on the same node anymore.
This commit adds citus.enable_non_colocated_router_query_pushdown GUC
that can be used to disallow  planning such queries via router planner,
when it's set to false. Note that the default value for this GUC will be
"true" for 11.3, but we will alter it to "false" on 12.0 to not
introduce
a breaking change in a minor release.

Closes #692.

Even more, allowing such queries to go through router planner also
causes
generating an incorrect plan for the DML queries that reference
distributed
tables that are sharded based on different replication factor settings.
For
this reason, #6779 can be closed after altering the default value for
this
GUC to "false", hence not now.

DESCRIPTION: Adds `citus.enable_non_colocated_router_query_pushdown` GUC
to ensure generating a consistent distributed plan for the queries that
reference non-colocated distributed tables (when set to "false", the
default is "true").

Make GPIDs work with pg_dist_poolinfo (#6588)
The original implementation of GPIDs didn't work correctly when using
`pg_dist_poolinfo` together with PgBouncer. The reason is that it
assumed that once a connection was made to a worker, the originating
GPID should stay the same for ever. But when pg_dist_poolinfo is used
this isn't the case, because the same connection on the worker might be
used by different backends of the coordinator.

This fixes that issue by updating the GPID whenever a new application
name is set on a connection. This is the only thing that's needed,
because PgBouncer already sets the application name correctly on the
server connection whenever a client is updated.

Fix bug introduced by #6412 (#6590)
In #6412 I made a change to not re-assign the global PID if it was
already set. This inadvertently introduced a regression where `userId`
and `databaseId` would not be set on the backend data when the global
PID was assigned in the authentication hook.

This fixes it by doing two things:
1. Removing `userId` from `BackendData`, since it's not used anywhere
   anyway.
2. Move assignment of `databaseId` to dedicated
   `SetBackendDataDatabaseId` function, that isn't a no-op when global
   pid is already set.

Since #6412 is not released yet this does not need a description.

Drop defer drop gucs (#6447)
DESCRIPTION: Drops GUC defer_drop_after_shard_split
DESCRIPTION: Drops GUC defer_drop_after_shard_move

Drop GUCs and related parts from the code.
Delete tests that specifically added for the GUCs.
Keep tests that can be used without the GUCs.
Update test output changes.

The motivation for this PR is to have an "always deferring" mechanism.
These two GUCs provide an option to not deferring dropping objects
during a shard move/split, and dropping them immediately. With this PR,
we will be always deferring dropping orphaned shards and other types of
objects.

We will have a separate PR to extend the deferred cleanup operation, so
that we would create records for deferred drop, for Subscriptions,
Publications, Replication Slots etc. This will make us be able to keep
track of created objects that needs to be dropped, during a shard
move/split. We will have objects created specifically for the current
operation; and those objects will be dropped at the end.

We have an issue (a draft roadmap) for enabling parallel shard moves.

Don't reassign global PID when already assigned (#6412)

```diff

It turned out this was an actual bug in the way our assigning of global
PIDs interacts with the way we connect to ourselves as the shard
rebalancer. The first command the shard rebalancer sends is a SET 
ommand to change the application_name to `citus_rebalancer`. If
`StartupCitusBackend` is called after this command is processed, then it
overwrites the global PID that was extracted from the previous
application_name. This makes sure that we don't do that, and continue to
use the original global PID. While it might seem that we only call 
`StartupCitusBackend` once for each query backend, this isn't actually 
the case. Whenever pg_dist_partition gets ANALYZEd by autovacuum
we indirectly call `StartupCitusBackend` again, because we invalidate 
the cache then.

In passing this fixes two other things as well:
1. It sets `distributedCommandOriginator` correctly in
   `AssignGlobalPID`, by using IsExternalClientBackend(). This doesn't
   matter much anymore, since AssignGlobalPID effectively becomes a
   no-op in this PR for any non-external client backends.
2. It passes the application_name to InitializeBackendData in
   StartupCitusBackend, instead of INVALID_CITUS_INTERNAL_BACKEND_GPID
   (which effectively got casted to NULL). In practice this doesn't
   change the behaviour of the call, since the call is a no-op for every
   backend except the maintenance daemon. And the behaviour of the call
   is the same for NULL as for the application_name of the maintenance
   daemon.

Implement infrastructure to run sql jobs in the background (#6296)
DESCRIPTION: Add infrastructure to run long running management operations in background

This infrastructure introduces the primitives of jobs and tasks.
A task consists of a sql statement and an owner. Tasks belong to a
Job and can depend on other tasks from the same job.

When there are either runnable or running tasks we would like to
make sure a bacgrkound task queue monitor process is running. A Task
could be in running state while there is actually no monitor present
due to a database restart or failover. Once the monitor starts it
will reset any running task to its runnable state.

To make sure only one background task queue monitor is ever running
at once it will acquire an advisory lock that self conflicts.

Once a task is done it will find all tasks depending on this task.
After checking that the task doesn't have unmet dependencies it will
transition the task from blocked to runnable state for the task to
be picked up on a subsequent task start.

Currently only one task can be running at a time. This can be
improved upon in later releases without changes to the higher level
API.

The initial goal for this background tasks is to allow a rebalance
to run in the background. This will be implemented in a subsequent PR.

'Deferred Drop' and robust 'Shard Cleanup' for Splits. (#6258)
DESCRIPTION:
This PR adds support for 'Deferred Drop' and robust 'Shard Cleanup' for Splits.

Common Infrastructure
This PR introduces new common infrastructure so as any operation that wants robust cleanup of resources can register with the cleaner and have the resources cleaned appropriately based on a specified policy. 'Shard Split' is the first consumer using this new infrastructure.
Note : We only support adding 'shards' as resources to be cleaned-up right now but the framework will be extended to support other resources in future.

Deferred Drop for Split
Deferred Drop Support ensures that shards undergoing split are not dropped inline as part of operation but dropped later when no active read queries are running on shard. This helps with :

Avoids any potential deadlock scenarios that can cause long running Split operation to rollback.
Avoids Split operation blocking writes and then getting blocked (due to running queries on the shard) when trying to drop shards.
Deferred drop is the new default behavior going forward.
Shard Cleaner Extension
Shard Cleaner is a background task responsible for deferred drops in case of 'Move' operations.
The cleaner has been extended to ensure robust cleanup of shards (dummy shards and split children) in case of a failure based on the new infrastructure mentioned above. The cleaner also handles deferred drop for 'Splits'.

TESTING:
New test ''citus_split_shard_by_split_points_deferred_drop' to test deferred drop support.
New test 'failure_split_cleanup' to test shard cleanup with failures in different stages.
Update 'isolation_blocking_shard_split and isolation_non_blocking_shard_split' for deferred drop.
Added non-deferred drop version of existing tests : 'citus_split_shard_no_deferred_drop' and 'citus_non_blocking_splits_no_deferred_drop'

insufficient. This PR tries to address the issue by setting
distributedCommandOriginator correctly in more situations. However, even

In any case this should fix at least some instances of this issue.

In passing this changes the isolation_citus_dist_activity test to allow

The reason for this is that citus_dist_stat_activity sometimes shows the
query that it uses itself to get the data from pg_stat_activity. This is
actually a bug, because it's a worker query and thus shouldn't show up
there. To try and solve this bug, we remove two small opportunities for a
race condition. These race conditions could happen when the backenddata
was marked as active, but the distributedCommandOriginator was not set
correctly yet/anymore. There was an opportunity for this to happen both 
during connection start and shutdown.

Pre PG15, tgisinternal is true for a "child" trigger on a partition
cloned from the trigger on the parent.
In PG15, tgisinternal is false in that case. However, we don't want to
create this trigger on the partition since it will create a conflict
when we try to attach the partition to the parent table:
ERROR: trigger "..." for relation "{partition_name}" already exists

In PG15, For GENERATED columns, all dependencies of the generation

This requires CASCADE to drop generated cols with the original col.
PRE PG15, dependencies were recorded as AUTO, with which
generated columns are silently dropped with the original column.

whole explain output with only "Result" lines removed

* Handles EXPLAIN output diffs in PG15, Hash Agg/Join leverage

To handle differences in usage of GroupAggregate vs HashAggregate
or Merge Join vs Hash join in cases where this detail doesn't
seem to matter, we use coordinator_plan().
- coordinator_plan() is updated to remove "Result" lines

There are some cases where we have subplans so we add a new
function that prints all Task Count lines as well
- coordinator_plan_with_subplans()

* Alters public schema's owner to pg_database_owner in PG15

In PG15, public schema is owned by pg_database_owner role.
In multi_extension, we drop and recreate the ppublic schema,

Change that to pg_database_owner for PG15 consistency.

This results in alternative test output for public schema grants

Support changing CPU priorities for backends and shard moves (#6126)
**Intro**
This adds support to Citus to change the CPU priority values of
backends. This is created with two main usecases in mind:

1. Users might want to run the logical replication part of the shard moves
   or shard splits at a higher speed than they would do by themselves. 
   This might cause some small loss of DB performance for their regular 
   queries, but this is often worth it. During high load it's very possible
   that the logical replication WAL sender is not able to keep up with the
   WAL that is generated. This is especially a big problem when the
   machine is close to running out of disk when doing a rebalance.
2. Users might have certain long running queries that they don't impact
   their regular workload too much.

**Be very careful!!!**
Using CPU priorities to control scheduling can be helpful in some cases
to control which processes are getting more CPU time than others. 
However, due to an issue called "[priority inversion][1]" it's possible that
using CPU priorities together with the many locks that are used within
Postgres cause the exact opposite behavior of what you intended. This
is why this PR only allows the PG superuser to change the CPU priority 
of its own processes. Currently it's not recommended to set `citus.cpu_priority`
directly. Currently the only recommended interface for users is the setting 
called `citus.cpu_priority_for_logical_replication_senders`. This setting
controls CPU priority for a very limited set of processes (the logical 
replication senders). So, the dangers of priority inversion are also limited
with when using it for this usecase.

**Background**
Before reading the rest it's important to understand some basic
background regarding process CPU priorities, because they are a bit
counter intuitive. A lower priority value, means that the process will
be scheduled more and whatever it's doing will thus complete faster. The
default priority for processes is 0. Valid values are from -20 to 19
inclusive. On Linux a larger difference between values of two processes
will result in a bigger difference in percentage of scheduling.

**Handling the usecases**
Usecase 1 can be achieved by setting `citus.cpu_priority_for_logical_replication_senders`
to the priority value that you want it to have. It's necessary to set
this both on the workers and the coordinator. Example:
```
citus.cpu_priority_for_logical_replication_senders = -10
```

Usecase 2 can with this PR be achieved by running the following as
superuser. Note that this is only possible as superuser currently 
due to the dangers mentioned in the "Be very carefull!!!" section. 
And although this is possible it's **NOT** recommended:
```sql
ALTER USER background_job_user SET citus.cpu_priority = 5;
```

**OS configuration**
To actually make these settings work well it's important to run Postgres
with more a more permissive value for the 'nice' resource limit than
Linux will do by default. By default Linux will not allow a process to
set its priority lower than it currently is, even if it was lower when
the process originally started. This capability is necessary to reset
the CPU priority to its original value after a transaction finishes.
Depending on how you run Postgres this needs to be done in one of two
ways:

If you use systemd to start Postgres all you have to do is add  a line
like this to the systemd service file:
```conf
LimitNice=+0 # the + is important, otherwise its interpreted incorrectly as 20
```

If that's not the case you'll have to configure `/etc/security/limits.conf` 
like so, assuming that you are running Postgres as the `postgres` OS user:
```
postgres            soft    nice            0
postgres            hard    nice            0
```
Finally you'd have add the following line to `/etc/pam.d/common-session`
```
session required pam_limits.so
```

These settings would allow to change the priority back after setting it
to a higher value.

However, to actually allow you to set priorities even lower than the
default priority value you would need to change the values in the 
config to something lower than 0. So for example:
```conf
LimitNice=-10
```

or

```
postgres            soft    nice            -10
postgres            hard    nice            -10
```

If you use WSL2 you'll likely have to do another thing. You have to 
open a new shell, because when PAM is only used during login, and 
WSL2 doesn't actually log you in. You can force a login like this:
```
sudo su $USER --shell /bin/bash
```
