Robert Haas 55b7e2f4d7 Fix two bugs in MaintainOldSnapshotTimeMapping.
The previous coding was confused about whether head_timestamp was
intended to represent the timestamp for the newest bucket in the
mapping or the oldest timestamp for the oldest bucket in the mapping.
Decide that it's intended to be the oldest one, and repair
accordingly.

To do that, we need to do two things. First, when advancing to a
new bucket, don't categorically set head_timestamp to the new
timestamp. Do this only if we're blowing out the map completely
because a lot of time has passed since we last maintained it. If
we're replacing entries one by one, advance head_timestamp by
1 minute for each; if we're filling in unused entries, don't
advance head_timestamp at all.

Second, fix the computation of how many buckets we need to advance.
The previous formula would be correct if head_timestamp were the
timestamp for the new bucket, but we're now making all the code
agree that it's the timestamp for the oldest bucket, so adjust the
formula accordingly.

This is certainly a bug fix, but I don't feel good about
back-patching it without the introspection tools added by commit
aecf5ee2bb, and perhaps also some
actual tests. Since back-patching the introspection tools might
not attract sufficient support and since there are no automated
tests of these fixes yet, I'm just committing this to master for
now.

Patch by me, reviewed by Thomas Munro, Dilip Kumar, Hamid Akhtar.

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
