Tomas Vondra 3ec8a3bfb5 Fix handling of NULLs when merging BRIN summaries
When merging BRIN summaries, union_tuples() did not correctly update the
target hasnulls/allnulls flags. When merging all-NULL summary into a
summary without any NULL values, the result had both flags set to false
(instead of having hasnulls=true).

This happened because the code only considered the hasnulls flags,
ignoring the possibility the source summary has allnulls=true.

Discovered while investigating issues with handling empty BRIN ranges
and handling of NULL values, but it's a separate problem (has nothing to
do with empty ranges).

Fixed by considering both flags on the source summary, and updating the
hasnulls flag on the target summary.

Backpatch to 11. The bug exists since 9.5 (where BRIN indexes were
introduced), but those releases are EOL already.

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:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

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
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
