This is useful when multiple instances run on the same machine, for
example behind a proxy. Unix sockets for web and admin servers can then
be put in the same folder for each instance.
Can be helpful when writing tests as well.
Renames the "Functions" in the logs to "RPCs". This clarifies that
we log number of callable functions and not the number of SQL objects.

These should have been updated by postgrest-nixpkgs-upgrade, when I
upgraded the Nixpkgs pin, but I did not follow my own readme, and just
ran nix flake update...
This adds a new log line that shows each schema cache query time individually, only on
`log-level=debug`. Like so:
```
$ PGRST_LOG_LEVEL=debug postgrest-with-pg-17 -f test/spec/fixtures/load.sql postgrest-run
....
10/Apr/2026:21:48:45 -0500: Schema cache queried in 192.2 milliseconds
10/Apr/2026:21:48:45 -0500: tables: 72.027 ms, keydeps: 20.118 ms, rels: 6.189 ms, funcs: 35.010 ms, comprels: 4.319 ms, dreps: 1.614 ms, mhandlers: 7.419 ms, tzones: 43.025 ms
```
This helps debug specific schema cache queries being slow like on
https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/issues/4613#issuecomment-4210191065 and
https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/issues/3046#issuecomment-3469059948.
It also closes https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/issues/3215,
which main motivation was to find out which query is slow.
Implementation details
---------------------
To time each query inside a transaction in pure SQL, we do:
```sql
-- start timer
select set_config('pgrst.tmp_x', clock_timestamp()::text, false);
-- run the query
select <query>
-- end timer
select set_config('pgrst.tmp_x', (clock_timestamp() - current_setting('pgrst.tmp_x', false)::timestamptz)::text, false);
-- .... repeated for every query
-- at the end we capture all the timings with
select extract('milliseconds' from current_setting('pgrst.tmp_x', false)::interval), extract(..;
```
Considerations
--------------
Only added this on `log-level=debug` because while the queries are fast
and the data is valuable, it triples the amount of queries we run during schema cache refresh,
which could be troublesome on slow networks. It's possible to reduce the
amount of queries by starting and stopping timers in one statement, but
this would still double the amount of queries and makes the code messy,
doesn't seem worth it.
Also it would pollute pg_stat_statements, it's only required to debug certain
extreme cases anyway.
To avoid repeated querying of `pg_timezone_names` every time schema
cache is reset, `Prefer: timezone` can be disabled by setting
`db-timezone-enabled = false`.

Add a new section "Client Error Verbosity". Move the details from
the config page to this section and link it.

Set error verbosity using this config. The verbosity can
be set to `verbose` or `minimal` for client error responses.
This only affects client side HTTP responses, server side logs
are not affected by this config.

We don't allow accessing schemas "pg_catalog" and "information_schema".
Instead of silently failing requests on these schemas, this now adds
logging an error on startup when these schemas are found in `db-schemas`
config.

The `*` character is a reserved character in the postgrest
url grammar but we didn't mention it in the docs. Now added.
Signed-off-by: Taimoor Zaeem <taimoorzaeem@gmail.com>
Fixes a typo in the documentation where it said that `()`
is a reserved character, when we actually meant to say that
`(` and `)` are reserved characters.

The docker-compose example did not work with multiple containers
when PGRST_SERVER_HOST is set to `localhost`. This updates the
value to `0.0.0.0` allowing other containers to connect.
