Tom Lane d88d8ad284 Fix corner case for a BEFORE ROW UPDATE trigger returning OLD.
If the old row has any "missing" attributes that are supposed to
be retrieved from an associated tuple descriptor, the wrong things
happened because the trigger result is shoved directly into an
executor slot that lacks the missing-attribute data.  Notably,
CHECK-constraint verification would incorrectly see those columns
as NULL, and so would RETURNING-list evaluation.

Band-aid around this by forcibly expanding the tuple before passing
it to the trigger function.  (IMO it was a fundamental misdesign to
put the missing-attribute data into tuple constraints, which so
much of the system considers to be optional.  But we're probably
stuck with that now, and will have to continue to apply band-aids
as we find other places with similar issues.)

Back-patch to v12.  v11 would also have the issue, except that
commit 920311ab1 already applied a similar band-aid.  That forced
expansion in more cases than seem really necessary, though, so
this isn't a directly equivalent fix.

Amit Langote, with some cosmetic changes by me

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
