David Rowley 9e215378d7 Fix planner's use of Result Cache with unique joins
When the planner considered using a Result Cache node to cache results
from the inner side of a Nested Loop Join, it failed to consider that the
inner path's parameterization may not be the entire join condition.  If
the join was marked as inner_unique then we may accidentally put the cache
in singlerow mode.  This meant that entries would be marked as complete
after caching the first row.  That was wrong as if only part of the join
condition was parameterized then the uniqueness of the unique join was not
guaranteed at the Result Cache's level.  The uniqueness is only guaranteed
after Nested Loop applies the join filter.  If subsequent rows were found,
this would lead to:

ERROR: cache entry already complete

This could have been fixed by only putting the cache in singlerow mode if
the entire join condition was parameterized.  However, Nested Loop will
only read its inner side so far as the first matching row when the join is
unique, so that might mean we never get an opportunity to mark cache
entries as complete.  Since non-complete cache entries are useless for
subsequent lookups, we just don't bother considering a Result Cache path
in this case.

In passing, remove the XXX comment that claimed the above ERROR might be
better suited to be an Assert.  After there being an actual case which
triggered it, it seems better to keep it an ERROR.

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
