Peter Geoghegan 5f55fc5a34 Demote pg_unreachable() in heapam to an assertion.
Commit d168b66682, which overhauled index deletion, added a
pg_unreachable() to the end of a sort comparator used when sorting heap
TIDs from an index page.  This allows the compiler to apply
optimizations that assume that the heap TIDs from the index AM must
always be unique.

That doesn't seem like a good idea now, given recent reports of
corruption involving duplicate TIDs in indexes on Postgres 14.  Demote
to an assertion, just in case.

Backpatch: 14-, where index deletion was overhauled.

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
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
