Add new fields to pcp_proc_info, show pool_processes, show pool_pools command.

The purpose of this commit is to get more information about the process stats
and how pgpool is working with "client_idle_limit" and "child_max_connections".

Start time:
I add “remaining” that is the remaining time beforl the process is restarted by
client_idle_limit.

Client connection count:
The connection count from clients to this pgpool process. Useful to know how
many times clients can connect to this pgpool process before
child_max_connections reaches.

Backend connection time:
I just rename create_time for clarity.

Client connection time:
The time when the client last connected. If the client uses its own connection
pooling, this helps to know when the connection was actually made from pgpool's
point of view.

Client idle duration:
The elapsed time (in seconds) since the client became in idle state.

Client disconnection time:
This is the last time the client disconnects. The use case is the same as above.

Status:
This is the process status. This shows 4 status: “Wait for connections”, “Idle”,
“Idle in transaction”, “Execute command”.

enough to build grouped variable data: it only registers the first

variable and then is show as a non grouped variable in

Implementing the follow_primary command-locking over the watchdog channel.

Supplementary fix for [pgpool-hackers: 3892] Problem with detach_false_primary..

commit:455f00dd5f5b7b94bd91aa0b6b40aab21dceabb9 fixed a race condition between
detach_false_primary and follow_primary commands. Part of the fix was to make
sure that the detach_false_primary should only be executed on the
leader watchdog node.

The mentioned commit ensures the execution of detach_false_primary on the
watchdog leader by getting the watchdog status from within the main process.
The design is good enough for most cases, but has the potential to fail if
the cluster goes into the election process just after the main process
has read the status.

To fix that, this commit implements the synchronization of follow_primary_command
execution using the distributed locks over the watchdog channel.

The idea is, just before executing the follow_primary during the failover process
we instruct all standby watchdog nodes to acquire a lock on their respective
nodes to block the false primary detection during the period when the
follow_primary is being executed on the leader watchdog node.

Moreover to keep the watchdog process blocked on waiting for the lock the commit
introduced the pending remote lock mechanism, so that remote locks can get
acquired in the background after the completion of the inflight replication checks.

Finally, REQ_DETAIL_CONFIRMED flag is removed from degenerate_backend_set()
request that gets issued to detach the false primary, That means all quorum
and consensus rules must be satisfied for the detach to happen.

New feature "prefer_lower_delay_standby"

Currently on streaming replication mode, when the node selected as the load
balancing node has streaming delay over delay_threshold, pgpool sends the
query to the primary regardless of other standbys.

When this parameter is set to on, if the delayed load balancing node is the
standby, pgpool selects the new load balancing node from the lowest delay standbys.

If all standbys are delayed or the primary is chosen as the load balancing node,

Fix orphan process is left when pgpool is going down.

When pgpool is going down while follow primary command is ongoing,
some process started by follow primary child process could be left.
The follow primary child calls trigger_failover_command() to run the
follow primary script by using system(3). Unfortunately the process
started by system(3) was not tracked by anyone and it was possible
that the process(es) are left. To reproduce the problem you can edit
the test script (test,sh) for the regression test
075.detach_primary_left_down to change the timeout counter to small
number, say 1. i.e.,
change:
cnt=60
to
cnt=1

To fix the problem, the follow primary child process calls setsid(2)
to set new session id. When Pgpool-II main goes down, the exit handler
kills all the process including the process started by system(3), by
specifying kill(-(follow primary child process pid)).

been done much earlier).

Detaching primary node using pcp_detach_node leaves a standby node

2021-06-05 07:22:17: pcp_child pid 7027: DETAIL:  failback is in progress

it complains that a failback request is still going. The reason why the
failback is not completed is, find_primary_node_repeatedly() is trying
to acquire the follow primary lock. However the follow primary command
has already acquired the lock and it is waiting for the completion of
the failback request. Thus this is a kind of dead lock situation.

How to solve this?

The purpose of the follow primary lock is to prevent concurrent run of
follow primary command and detach false primary by the streaming
replication check. We cannot throw it away. However it is not always
necessary to acquire the lock by find_primary_node_repeatedly(). If
it does not try to acquire the lock, failover/failback will not be
blocked and will finish soon, thus Req_info->switching flags will be
promptly turned to false.

When a primary node is detached, failover command is called and new
primary is selected. At this point find_primary_node_repeatedly() is
surely needed to run to find the new primary. However, once follow
primary command starts, the primary will not be changed. So my idea
is, find_primary_node_repeatedly() checks whether follow primary
command is running or not. If it is running, just returns the current
primary. Otherwise acquires the lock.

For this purpose, new shared memory variable
Req_info->follow_primary_ongoing was introduced. The flag is set/unset
by follow primary process.

New regression test 075.detach_primary_left_down_node is added.

places where those functions are used:

1) find_primary_node

This function is called upon startup and failover in the main pgpool
process to find new primary node.

2) failover

This function is called in the follow_primary_command subprocess
forked off by pgpool main process to execute follow_primary_command
script. The lock should be help until all follow_primary_command are
completed.

3) streaming replication check

Before starting verify_backend_node, which is the work horse of
detach_false_primary, the lock must be acquired. If it fails, just
skip the streaming replication check cycle.
