Add a drop/recreate step for pgr_dijkstraVia in the 4.0-to-4.1 upgrade. The 4.0 definition has no prev column, but the current definition adds OUT prev BIGINT, which changes the function's composite return type. The upgrade generator retains this function and converts its --v3.0 definition to CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION; it does not list pgr_dijkstraVia for special-case dropping. PostgreSQL rejects that replacement, so ALTER EXTENSION pgrouting UPDATE fails. Add pgr_dijkstraVia(text,anyarray,boolean,boolean,boolean) to the applicable drop list so the upgrade drops and recreates it before applying the new definition.

Closes pgRouting#3111 Adds a prev column to pgr_dijkstraVia's output, exposing the previous node in the path alongside the existing node column. For the first row of each path segment, prev equals the segment's own start_vid, matching the existing convention used by pgr_drivingDistance's pred column. Note: prev is added to the shared Routes_t struct and get_path() converter used by pgr_trspVia, pgr_trspVia_withPoints, and pgr_withPointsVia as well, since this logic is shared across all *Via algorithms. Only pgr_dijkstraVia's SQL signature exposes it per this issue's scope; the other three compute it internally but don't surface it. Also updates tools/testers/via_compare.pg, which previously used SELECT * to compare pgr_dijkstraVia against pgr_trspVia and pgr_withPointsVia — now explicitly projects the 10 shared columns so the new prev column doesn't break those cross-algorithm comparison tests.

Description
Closes #3111
This PR adds a
prevcolumn to the output result set ofpgr_dijkstraVia, exposing the predecessor / previous node information for each step in a route.Output Signature Change
Previous signature:
seq | path_id | path_seq | start_vid | end_vid | node | edge | cost | agg_cost | route_agg_costNew signature:
seq | path_id | path_seq | start_vid | end_vid | prev | node | edge | cost | agg_cost | route_agg_costPredecessor Convention
path_seq = 1),previs set to the segment's starting vertex (start_vid), following the established convention in pgRouting (matchingpgr_drivingDistance'spredcolumn).prevcontains thenodeidentifier from the preceding step.Changes Summary
C / C++ Core & Data Structures:
include/c_types/routes_t.h: Addedint64_t prev;field positioned beforenodeinRoutes_t.src/cpp_common/to_postgres.cpp: Updatedget_path()to trackprev_nodeinitialized topath.start_id()and populateprevfor each tuple.src/dijkstra/dijkstraVia.c: Increasednumb_outfrom 10 to 11 and mappedvalues[5]toresult_tuples[call_cntr].prev, shifting subsequent column indices up by one.SQL Definitions:
sql/dijkstra/dijkstraVia.sql&sql/dijkstra/_dijkstraVia.sql: AddedOUT prev BIGINT,beforeOUT node BIGINT,and updated the internalSELECTprojection.Documentation:
doc/categories/via-category.rst: Reverted the earlierprevrow added here — restored to only the 10 columns genuinely shared across all four*Viafunctions.doc/dijkstra/pgr_dijkstraVia.rst: Added a dedicated table documentingprev, scoped only to this function, immediately after the shared column include.docqueries/dijkstra/dijkstraVia.result: Updated expected outputs for example queriesq01andq1to includeprev.Testing:
tools/testers/types_check.pg: Updatedtypes_check_via()forpgr_dijkstraviato expect'prev'(int8).tools/testers/via_compare.pg: Updated cross-algorithm comparison tests (trspVia_VS_dijstraViaandwithPointsVia_VS_dijstraVia) to explicitly project the 10 shared columns againstpgr_trspViaandpgr_withPointsVia.Extension Upgrade Compatibility:
sql/scripts/build-extension-update-files.pl: Addedpgr_dijkstraVia/_pgr_dijkstraViato the special-case drop list for the 4.0→4.1 upgrade path, since PostgreSQL rejectsCREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTIONwhen a function's OUT columns change. Verified locally by running the generator and confirming the produced upgrade script correctly drops and recreates both functions before applying the new 11-column signature.sql/dijkstra/dijkstraVia.sql&_dijkstraVia.sql: Bumped version tag from--v3.0to--v4.1to reflect the signature change.Checklist
