Tom Lane 362e2dcc46 Fix rewriter to set hasModifyingCTE correctly on rewritten queries.
If we copy data-modifying CTEs from the original query to a replacement
query (from a DO INSTEAD rule), we must set hasModifyingCTE properly
in the replacement query.  Failure to do this can cause various
unpleasantness, such as unsafe usage of parallel plans.  The code also
neglected to propagate hasRecursive, though that's only cosmetic at
the moment.

A difficulty arises if the rule action is an INSERT...SELECT.  We
attach the original query's RTEs and CTEs to the sub-SELECT Query, but
data-modifying CTEs are only allowed to appear in the topmost Query.
For the moment, throw an error in such cases.  It would probably be
possible to avoid this error by attaching the CTEs to the top INSERT
Query instead; but that would require a bunch of new code to adjust
ctelevelsup references.  Given the narrowness of the use-case, and
the need to back-patch this fix, it does not seem worth the trouble
for now.  We can revisit this if we get field complaints.

Per report from Greg Nancarrow.  Back-patch to all supported branches.
(The test case added here does not fail before v10, but there are
plenty of places checking top-level hasModifyingCTE in 9.6, so I have
no doubt that this code change is necessary there too.)

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
