Add code to call mem_guard to enable memory tracking for background workers. This is enabled for all background workers started by timescaledb, but not to other workers started by PostgreSQL.

This is intended as an interim solution until we have a proper plugin interface in place. See #7791 for a draft of the plugin interface.

@mkindahl mkindahl added this to the v2.19.0 milestone Mar 5, 2025

This is slightly hard to test (in the sense, create a good regression test), but I added printouts to mem_guard and timescaledb to print out when the jobs are started and when the mem_guard function is called, and it seems to work fine.

I will create a better regression test with a separate plugin for #7791.

## 2.19.0 (2025-03-12)

This release contains performance improvements and bug fixes since 
the 2.18.2 release. We recommend that you upgrade at the next 
available opportunity.

**Features**
* [#7586](#7586) Vectorized aggregation with grouping by a single text column.
* [#7632](#7632) Optimize recompression for chunks without segmentby
* [#7655](#7655) Support vectorized aggregation on Hypercore TAM
* [#7669](#7669) Add support for merging compressed chunks
* [#7701](#7701) Implement a custom compression algorithm for bool columns. It is experimental and can undergo backwards-incompatible changes. For testing, enable it using timescaledb.enable_bool_compression = on.
* [#7707](#7707) Support ALTER COLUMN SET NOT NULL on compressed chunks
* [#7765](#7765) Allow tsdb as alias for timescaledb in WITH and SET clauses
* [#7786](#7786) Show warning for inefficient compress_chunk_time_interval configuration
* [#7788](#7788) Add callback to mem_guard for background workers
* [#7789](#7789) Do not recompress segmentwise when default order by is empty
* [#7790](#7790) Add configurable Incremental CAgg Refresh Policy

**Bugfixes**
* [#7665](#7665) Block merging of frozen chunks
* [#7673](#7673) Don't abort additional INSERTs when hitting first conflict
* [#7714](#7714) Fixes a wrong result when compressed NULL values were confused with default values. This happened in very special circumstances with alter table added a new column with a default value, an update and compression in a very particular order.
* [#7747](#7747) Block TAM rewrites with incompatible GUC setting
* [#7748](#7748) Crash in the segmentwise recompression
* [#7764](#7764) Fix compression settings handling in Hypercore TAM
* [#7768](#7768) Remove costing index scan of hypertable parent
* [#7799](#7799) Handle DEFAULT table access name in ALTER TABLE

**Thanks**
* @bjornuppeke for reporting a problem with INSERT INTO ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING on compressed chunks
* @kav23alex for reporting a segmentation fault on ALTER TABLE with DEFAULT

## 2.19.0 (2025-03-18)

This release contains performance improvements and bug fixes since the
2.18.2 release. We recommend that you upgrade at the next available
opportunity.

* Improved concurrency of INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE operations on the
columnstore by no longer blocking DML statements during the
recompression of a chunk.
* Improved system performance during Continuous Aggregates refreshes by
breaking them into smaller batches which reduces systems pressure and
minimizes the risk of spilling to disk.
* Faster and more up-to-date results for queries against Continuous
Aggregates by materializing the most recent data first (vs old data
first in prior versions).
* Faster analytical queries with SIMD vectorization of aggregations over
text columns and group by over multiple column
* Enable optimizing chunk size for faster query performance on the
columnstore by adding support for merging columnstore chunks to the
merge_chunk API.

**Deprecation warning**

This is the last minor release supporting PostgreSQL 14. Starting with
the minor version of TimescaleDB only Postgres 15, 16 and 17 will be
supported.

**Downgrading of 2.19.0**

This release introduces custom bool compression, if you enable this
feature via the `enable_bool_compression` and must downgrade to a
previous, please use the [following
script](https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb-extras/blob/master/utils/2.19.0-downgrade_new_compression_algorithms.sql)
to convert the columns back to their previous state. TimescaleDB
versions prior to 2.19.0 do not know how to handle this new type.

**Features**
* [#7586](#7586) Vectorized
aggregation with grouping by a single text column.
* [#7632](#7632) Optimize
recompression for chunks without segmentby
* [#7655](#7655) Support
vectorized aggregation on Hypercore TAM
* [#7669](#7669) Add
support for merging compressed chunks
* [#7701](#7701) Implement
a custom compression algorithm for bool columns. It is experimental and
can undergo backwards-incompatible changes. For testing, enable it using
timescaledb.enable_bool_compression = on.
* [#7707](#7707) Support
ALTER COLUMN SET NOT NULL on compressed chunks
* [#7765](#7765) Allow tsdb
as alias for timescaledb in WITH and SET clauses
* [#7786](#7786) Show
warning for inefficient compress_chunk_time_interval configuration
* [#7788](#7788) Add
callback to mem_guard for background workers
* [#7789](#7789) Do not
recompress segmentwise when default order by is empty

configurable Incremental CAgg Refresh Policy

**Bugfixes**

values. This happened in very special circumstances with alter table

very particular order.

* [#7799](#7799) Handle

**GUCs**
* `enable_bool_compression`: enable the BOOL compression algorithm,
default: `OFF`
* `enable_exclusive_locking_recompression`: enable exclusive locking
during recompression (legacy mode), default: `OFF`

**Thanks**
* @bjornuppeke for reporting a problem with INSERT INTO ... ON CONFLICT
DO NOTHING on compressed chunks
* @kav23alex for reporting a segmentation fault on ALTER TABLE with
