      Restore functionality of ALTER {ROLE|DATABASE} SET
      role (Tom Lane, Noah Misch)
      §
     
      The fix for CVE-2024-10978 accidentally caused settings
      for role to not be applied if they come from
      non-interactive sources, including previous ALTER
      {ROLE|DATABASE} commands and
      the PGOPTIONS environment variable.
     
      Fix cases where a logical replication
      slot's restart_lsn could go backwards
      (Masahiko Sawada)
      §
     
      Previously, restarting logical replication could sometimes cause the
      slot's restart point to be recomputed as an older value than had
      previously been advertised
      in pg_replication_slots.  This is bad,
      since for example WAL files might have been removed on the basis of
      the later restart_lsn value, in which
      case replication would fail to restart.
     
      Count index scans in contrib/bloom indexes in
      the statistics views, such as the
      pg_stat_user_indexes.idx_scan
      counter (Masahiro Ikeda)
      §
     
Fix crash when checking to see if an index's opclass options have changed (Alexander Korotkov) §
      Some forms of ALTER TABLE would fail if the
      table has an index with non-default operator class options.
