Tom Lane bd037dc928 Make XLogRecGetBlockTag() throw error if there's no such block.
All but a few existing callers assume without checking that this
function succeeds.  While it probably will, that's a poor excuse for
not checking.  Let's make it return void and instead throw an error
if it doesn't find the block reference.  Callers that actually need
to handle the no-such-block case must now use the underlying function
XLogRecGetBlockTagExtended.

In addition to being a bit less error-prone, this should also serve
to suppress some Coverity complaints about XLogRecGetBlockRefInfo.

While at it, clean up some inconsistency about use of the
XLogRecHasBlockRef macro: make XLogRecGetBlockTagExtended use
that instead of open-coding the same condition, and avoid calling
XLogRecHasBlockRef twice in relevant code paths.  (That is,
calling XLogRecHasBlockRef followed by XLogRecGetBlockTag is now
deprecated: use XLogRecGetBlockTagExtended instead.)

Patch HEAD only; this doesn't seem to have enough value to consider
a back-branch API break.

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/.
