Tom Lane b9654cecea Fix ruleutils issues with dropped cols in functions-returning-composite.
Due to lack of concern for the case in the dependency code, it's
possible to drop a column of a composite type even though stored
queries have references to the dropped column via functions-in-FROM
that return the composite type.  There are "soft" references,
namely FROM-clause aliases for such columns, and "hard" references,
that is actual Vars referring to them.  The right fix for hard
references is to add dependencies preventing the drop; something
we've known for many years and not done (and this commit still doesn't
address it).  A "soft" reference shouldn't prevent a drop though.
We've been around on this before (cf. 9b35ddce9, 2c4debbd0), but
nobody had noticed that the current behavior can result in dump/reload
failures, because ruleutils.c can print more column aliases than the
underlying composite type now has.  So we need to rejigger the
column-alias-handling code to treat such columns as dropped and not
print aliases for them.

Rather than writing new code for this, I used expandRTE() which already
knows how to figure out which function result columns are dropped.
I'd initially thought maybe we could use expandRTE() in all cases, but
that fails for EXPLAIN's purposes, because the planner strips a lot of
RTE infrastructure that expandRTE() needs.  So this patch just uses it
for unplanned function RTEs and otherwise does things the old way.

If there is a hard reference (Var), then removing the column alias
causes us to fail to print the Var, since there's no longer a name
to print.  Failing seems less desirable than printing a made-up
name, so I made it print "?dropped?column?" instead.

Per report from Timo Stolz.  Back-patch to all supported branches.

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
