David Rowley cbcea3b91d Harden Memoization code against broken data types
Bug #17512 highlighted that a suitably broken data type could cause the
backend to crash if either the hash function or equality function were in
someway non-deterministic based on their input values.  Such a data type
could cause a crash of the backend due to some code which assumes that
we'll always find a hash table entry corresponding to an item in the
Memoize LRU list.

Here we remove the assumption that we'll always find the entry
corresponding to the given LRU list item and add run-time checks to verify
we have found the given item in the cache.

This is not a fix for bug #17512, but it will turn the crash reported by
that bug report into an internal ERROR.

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:

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.
