Andres Freund 31912d01d8 Improve relcache invalidation handling of currently invisible relations.
The corner case where a relcache invalidation tried to rebuild the
entry for a referenced relation but couldn't find it in the catalog
wasn't correct.

The code tried to RelationCacheDelete/RelationDestroyRelation the
entry. That didn't work when assertions are enabled because the latter
contains an assertion ensuring the refcount is zero. It's also more
generally a bad idea, because by virtue of being referenced somebody
might actually look at the entry, which is possible if the error is
trapped and handled via a subtransaction abort.

Instead just error out, without deleting the entry. As the entry is
marked invalid, the worst that can happen is that the invalid (and at
some point unused) entry lingers in the relcache.

There should be no way to hit this case < 9.4 where logical decoding
introduced a bug that can hit this. But since the code for handling
the corner case is there it should do something halfway sane, so
backpatch all the the way back.  The logical decoding bug will be
handled in a separate commit.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
