Andres Freund 3a48005b00 Improve code inferring length of bitmap for JITed tuple deforming.
While discussing comment improvements (see next commit) by Justin
Pryzby, Tom complained about a few details of the logic to infer the
length of the NULL bitmap when building the JITed tuple deforming
function. That bitmap allows to avoid checking the tuple header's
natts, a check which often causes a pipeline stall

Improvements:
a) As long as missing columns aren't taken into account, we can
   continue to infer the length of the NULL bitmap from NOT NULL
   columns following it. Previously we stopped at the first missing
   column.  It's unlikely to matter much in practice, but the
   alternative would have been to document why we stop.
b) For robustness reasons it seems better to also check against
   attisdropped - RemoveAttributeById() sets attnotnull to false, but
   an additional check is trivial.
c) Improve related comments

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
