Tom Lane ebc2ff076e Disallow calling anything but plain functions via the fastpath API.
Reject aggregates, window functions, and procedures.  Aggregates
failed anyway, though with a somewhat obscure error message.
Window functions would hit an Assert or null-pointer dereference.
Procedures seemed to work as long as you didn't try to do
transaction control, but (a) transaction control is sort of the
point of a procedure, and (b) it's not entirely clear that no
bugs lurk in that path.  Given the lack of testing of this area,
it seems safest to be conservative in what we support.

Also reject proretset functions, as the fastpath protocol can't
support returning a set.

Also remove an easily-triggered assertion that the given OID
isn't 0; the subsequent lookups can handle that case themselves.

Per report from Theodor-Arsenij Larionov-Trichkin.
Back-patch to all supported branches.  (The procedure angle
only applies in v11+, of course.)

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/.
