Change mechanism to set up source targetlist in MERGE
We were setting MERGE source subplan's targetlist by expanding the
individual attributes of the source relation completely, early in the
parse analysis phase.  This failed to work when the condition of an
action included a whole-row reference, causing setrefs.c to error out
with
  ERROR:  variable not found in subplan target lists
because at that point there is nothing to resolve the whole-row
reference with.  We can fix this by having preprocess_targetlist expand
the source targetlist for Vars required from the source rel by all
actions.  Moreover, by using this expansion mechanism we can do away
with the targetlist expansion in transformMergeStmt, which is good
because then we no longer pull in columns that aren't needed for
anything.

Add a test case for the problem.

While at it, remove some redundant code in preprocess_targetlist():
MERGE was doing separately what is already being done for UPDATE/DELETE,
so we can just rely on the latter and remove the former.  (The handling
of inherited rels was different for MERGE, but that was a no-longer-
necessary hack.)

Fix outdated, related comments for fix_join_expr also.

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/.
