Prevent integer overflows in array subscripting calculations
(Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
The array code previously did not complain about cases where an
array's lower bound plus length overflows an integer. This resulted
in later entries in the array becoming inaccessible (since their
subscripts could not be written as integers), but more importantly
it confused subsequent assignment operations. This could lead to
memory overwrites, with ensuing crashes or unwanted data
modifications.

<para>
Fix mishandling of <quote>junk</quote> columns in <literal>INSERT
... ON CONFLICT ... UPDATE</literal> target lists (Tom Lane)
</para>
<para>
If the <literal>UPDATE</literal> list contains any multi-column
sub-selects (which give rise to junk columns in addition to the
results proper), the <literal>UPDATE</literal> path would end up
storing tuples that include the values of the extra junk columns.
That's fairly harmless in the short run, but if new columns are
added to the table then the values would become accessible, possibly
leading to malfunctions if they don't match the datatypes of the
added columns.
</para>
<para>
In addition, in versions supporting cross-partition updates,
a cross-partition update triggered by such a case had the reverse
problem: the junk columns were removed from the target list,
typically causing an immediate crash due to malfunction of the
multi-column sub-select mechanism.

the <command>UPDATE</command> involves other tables being joined to
