Tom Lane c3c35a733c Prevent infinite insertion loops in spgdoinsert(). 
Formerly we just relied on operator classes that assert longValuesOK
to eventually shorten the leaf value enough to fit on an index page.
That fails since the introduction of INCLUDE-column support (commit
09c1c6ab4), because the INCLUDE columns might alone take up more
than a page, meaning no amount of leaf-datum compaction will get
the job done.  At least with spgtextproc.c, that leads to an infinite
loop, since spgtextproc.c won't throw an error for not being able
to shorten the leaf datum anymore.

To fix without breaking cases that would otherwise work, add logic
to spgdoinsert() to verify that the leaf tuple size is decreasing
after each "choose" step.  Some opclasses might not decrease the
size on every single cycle, and in any case, alignment roundoff
of the tuple size could obscure small gains.  Therefore, allow
up to 10 cycles without additional savings before throwing an
error.  (Perhaps this number will need adjustment, but it seems
quite generous right now.)

As long as we've developed this logic, let's back-patch it.
The back branches don't have INCLUDE columns to worry about, but
this seems like a good defense against possible bugs in operator
classes.  We already know that an infinite loop here is pretty
unpleasant, so having a defense seems to outweigh the risk of
breaking things.  (Note that spgtextproc.c is actually the only
known opclass with longValuesOK support, so that this is all moot
for known non-core opclasses anyway.)

Per report from Dilip Kumar.

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/.
