Michael Paquier a76cfba663 Add safeguards in LSN, numeric and float calculation for custom errors
Those data types use parsing and/or calculation wrapper routines which
can generate some generic error messages in the event of a failure.  The
caller of these routines can also pass a pointer variable settable by
the routine to track if an error has happened, letting the caller decide
what to do in the event of an error and what error message to generate.

Those routines have been slacking the initialization of the tracking
flag, which can be confusing when reading the code, so add some
safeguards against calls of these parsing routines which could lead to a
dubious result.

The LSN parsing gains an assertion to make sure that the tracking flag
is set, while numeric and float paths initialize the flag to a saner
state.

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/.
