Dean Rasheed b5c645d2a2 Fix handling of self-modified tuples in MERGE.
When an UPDATE or DELETE action in MERGE returns TM_SelfModified,
there are 2 possible causes:

1). The target tuple was already updated or deleted by the current
    command. This can happen if the target row joins to more than one
    source row, and the SQL standard explicitly says that this must be
    an error.

2). The target tuple was already updated or deleted by a later command
    in the current transaction. This can happen if the tuple is
    modified by a BEFORE trigger or a volatile function used in the
    query, and should be an error for the same reason that it is in a
    plain UPDATE or DELETE command.

In MERGE's primary error handling block, it failed to check for (2),
causing it to return a misleading error message in such cases.

In the secondary error handling block, following a concurrent update
from another session, it failed to check for (1), causing it to
silently ignore target rows joined to more than one source row,
instead of reporting an error.

Fix this, and add tests for both of these cases.

Per report from Wenjiang Zhang. Back-patch to v15, where MERGE was
introduced.

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/.
