Tom Lane 46e3a16b05 When FOR UPDATE/SHARE is used with LIMIT, put the LockRows plan node
underneath the Limit node, not atop it.  This fixes the old problem that such
a query might unexpectedly return fewer rows than the LIMIT says, due to
LockRows discarding updated rows.

There is a related problem that LockRows might destroy the sort ordering
produced by earlier steps; but fixing that by pushing LockRows below Sort
would create serious performance problems that are unjustified in many
real-world applications, as well as potential deadlock problems from locking
many more rows than expected.  Instead, keep the present semantics of applying
FOR UPDATE after ORDER BY within a single query level; but allow the user to
specify the other way by writing FOR UPDATE in a sub-select.  To make that
work, track whether FOR UPDATE appeared explicitly in sub-selects or got
pushed down from the parent, and don't flatten a sub-select that contained an
explicit FOR UPDATE.

*
* catversion.h
* "Catalog version number" for PostgreSQL.
*
* The catalog version number is used to flag incompatible changes in
* the PostgreSQL system catalogs. Whenever anyone changes the format of
* a system catalog relation, or adds, deletes, or modifies standard
* catalog entries in such a way that an updated backend wouldn't work
* with an old database (or vice versa), the catalog version number
* should be changed. The version number stored in pg_control by initdb
* is checked against the version number compiled into the backend at
* startup time, so that a backend can refuse to run in an incompatible
* database.
*
* The point of this feature is to provide a finer grain of compatibility
* checking than is possible from looking at the major version number
* stored in PG_VERSION. It shouldn't matter to end users, but during
* development cycles we usually make quite a few incompatible changes
* to the contents of the system catalogs, and we don't want to bump the
* major version number for each one. What we can do instead is bump
* this internal version number. This should save some grief for
* developers who might otherwise waste time tracking down "bugs" that
* are really just code-vs-database incompatibilities.
*
* The rule for developers is: if you commit a change that requires
* an initdb, you should update the catalog version number (as well as
* notifying the pghackers mailing list, which has been the informal
* practice for a long time).
*
* The catalog version number is placed here since modifying files in
* include/catalog is the most common kind of initdb-forcing change.
* But it could be used to protect any kind of incompatible change in
* database contents or layout, such as altering tuple headers.
