Peter Geoghegan 955a6a8934 Remove overzealous index deletion assertion.
A broken HOT chain is not an unexpected condition, even when the offset
number points past the end of the page's line pointer array.
heap_prune_chain() does not (and never has) treated this condition as
unexpected, so derivative code in heap_index_delete_tuples() shouldn't
do so either.

Oversight in commit 4228817449.

The assertion can probably only fail on Postgres 14 and master.  Earlier
releases don't have commit 3c3b8a4b, which taught VACUUM to truncate the
line pointer array of heap pages.  Backpatch all the same, just to be
consistent.

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/.
