Tom Lane e7154b6acf Fix INSERT ON CONFLICT UPDATE through a view that isn't just SELECT *.
When expanding an updatable view that is an INSERT's target, the rewriter
failed to rewrite Vars in the ON CONFLICT UPDATE clause.  This accidentally
worked if the view was just "SELECT * FROM ...", as the transformation
would be a no-op in that case.  With more complicated view targetlists,
this omission would often lead to "attribute ... has the wrong type" errors
or even crashes, as reported by Mario De Frutos Dieguez.

Fix by adding code to rewriteTargetView to fix up the data structure
correctly.  The easiest way to update the exclRelTlist list is to rebuild
it from scratch looking at the new target relation, so factor the code
for that out of transformOnConflictClause to make it sharable.

In passing, avoid duplicate permissions checks against the EXCLUDED
pseudo-relation, and prevent useless view expansion of that relation's
dummy RTE.  The latter is only known to happen (after this patch) in cases
where the query would fail later due to not having any INSTEAD OF triggers
for the view.  But by exactly that token, it would create an unintended
and very poorly tested state of the query data structure, so it seems like
a good idea to prevent it from happening at all.

This has been broken since ON CONFLICT was introduced, so back-patch
to 9.5.

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/.
