Subject: [PATCH] Add pg_tablespace_avail() functions

From: Christoph Berg <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2025 16:29:19 +0100

This exposes the f_avail value from statvfs() on tablespace directories
on the SQL level, allowing monitoring of free disk space from within the
server. On windows, GetDiskFreeSpaceEx() is used.

Permissions required match those from pg_tablespace_size().

In psql, include a new "Free" column in \db+ output.

Add test coverage for pg_tablespace_avail() and the previously not
covered pg_tablespace_size() function.
