Tom Lane e0eba586b1 Fix checking of query type in plpgsql's RETURN QUERY command.
Prior to v14, we insisted that the query in RETURN QUERY be of a type
that returns tuples.  (For instance, INSERT RETURNING was allowed,
but not plain INSERT.)  That happened indirectly because we opened a
cursor for the query, so spi.c checked SPI_is_cursor_plan().  As a
consequence, the error message wasn't terribly on-point, but at least
it was there.

Commit 2f48ede08 lost this detail.  Instead, plain RETURN QUERY
insisted that the query be a SELECT (by checking for SPI_OK_SELECT)
while RETURN QUERY EXECUTE failed to check the query type at all.
Neither of these changes was intended.

The only convenient place to check this in the EXECUTE case is inside
_SPI_execute_plan, because we haven't done parse analysis until then.
So we need to pass down a flag saying whether to enforce that the
query returns tuples.  Fortunately, we can squeeze another boolean
into struct SPIExecuteOptions without an ABI break, since there's
padding space there.  (It's unlikely that any extensions would
already be using this new struct, but preserving ABI in v14 seems
like a smart idea anyway.)

Within spi.c, it seemed like _SPI_execute_plan's parameter list
was already ridiculously long, and I didn't want to make it longer.
So I thought of passing SPIExecuteOptions down as-is, allowing that
parameter list to become much shorter.  This makes the patch a bit
more invasive than it might otherwise be, but it's all internal to
spi.c, so that seems fine.

Per report from Marc Bachmann.  Back-patch to v14 where the
faulty code came in.

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.
