Peter Geoghegan ce2cee0ade Fix nbtree kill_prior_tuple posting list assert.
An assertion added by commit 0d861bbb checked that _bt_killitems() only
processes a BTScanPosItem whose heap TID is contained in a posting list
tuple when its page offset number still matches what is on the page
(i.e. when it matches the posting list tuple's current offset number).
This was only correct in the common case where the page can't have
changed since we first read it.  It was not correct in cases where we
don't drop the buffer pin (and don't need to verify the page hasn't
changed using its LSN).  The latter category includes scans involving
unlogged tables, and scans that use a non-MVCC snapshot, per the logic
originally introduced by commit 2ed5b87f.

The assertion still seems helpful.  Fix it by taking cases where the
page may have been concurrently modified into account.

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/.
