With this commit, we started to send explain queries within a savepoint. After
running explain query, we rollback to savepoint. This saves us from side effects
of EXPLAIN ANALYZE on DML queries.
Previously we'd segfault in PQisnonblocking() which, contrary to other
libpq calls, doesn't handle a NULL PQconn (because there'd be no
appropriate return value for that).

- Break CheckShardPlacements into multiple functions (The most important
is MarkFailedShardPlacements), so that we can get rid of the global
CoordinatedTransactionUses2PC.
- Call MarkFailedShardPlacements in the router executor, so we mark
shards as invalid and stop using them while inside transaction blocks.
Before this change, when a transaction failed, we update related placements shard states
to FILE_INACTIVE during XACT_EVENT_PRE_COMMIT. However that means if another code block
changed shard state to something else (e.g. FILE_TO_DELETE) before XACT_EVENT_PRE_COMMIT
we overwrite that. To prevent that problem, in case of failure we started to change
shard state, only if its current shard state is FILE_FINALIZED.
A small refactor which pulls some code out of `RecoverWorkerTransactions`
and into `remote_commands.c`. This code block currently only occurs in
`RecoverWorkerTransactions` but will be useful to other functions
shortly.
Unfortunately we couldn't call it `ExecuteRemoteCommand`, that name was
already taken.
Because of foreign keys and similar concerns there should only be a
single modifying/DDL connection for a set of colocated placements to a
node. To enforce placement_connection.c now has an additional
hash-table keeping track of the connections to a set of colocated
placements. In addition to enforcing per placement restrictions on
connections, there's now very similar restrictions for sets of
colocated placements.
CloseNodeConnections() is supposed to close connections to a given node.
However, before this commit it lacks to actually call PQFinish() on the
connections. Using CloseConnection() handles closing and all other necessary
actions.
Currently there are several places in citus that map placements to
connections and that manage placement health. Centralize this
knowledge. Because of the centralized knowledge about which
connection has previously been used for which shard/placement, this
also provides the basis for relaxing restrictions around combining
various forms of DDL/DML.
Connections for a placement can now be acquired using
GetPlacementConnection(). If the connection is used for DML or DDL the
FOR_DDL/DML flags should be used respectively. If an individual
remote transaction fails (but the transaction on the master succeeds)
and FOR_DDL/DML have been specified, the placement is marked as
invalid, unless that'd mark all placements for a shard as invalid.
This includes basic infrastructure for logging of commands sent to
remote/worker nodes. Note that this has no effect as of yet, since no
callers are converted to the new infrastructure.
Connections are tracked and released by integrating into postgres'
transaction handling. That allows to to use connections without having
to resort to having to disable interrupts or using PG_TRY/CATCH blocks
to avoid leaking connections.
This is intended to eventually replace multi_client_executor.c and
connection_cache.c, and to provide the basis of a centralized
transaction management.
The newly introduced transaction hook should, in the future, be the only
one in citus, to allow for proper ordering between operations. For now
this central handler is responsible for releasing connections and
resetting XactModificationLevel after a transaction.
