Tom Lane fd91fed3e8 Fix more confusion in SP-GiST.
spg_box_quad_leaf_consistent unconditionally returned the leaf
datum as leafValue, even though in its usage for poly_ops that
value is of completely the wrong type.

In versions before 12, that was harmless because the core code did
nothing with leafValue in non-index-only scans ... but since commit
2a6368343, if we were doing a KNN-style scan, spgNewHeapItem would
unconditionally try to copy the value using the wrong datatype
parameters.  Said copying is a waste of time and space if we're not
going to return the data, but it accidentally failed to fail until
I fixed the datatype confusion in ac9099fc1.

Hence, change spgNewHeapItem to not copy the datum unless we're
actually going to return it later.  This saves cycles and dodges
the question of whether lossy opclasses are returning the right
type.  Also change spg_box_quad_leaf_consistent to not return
data that might be of the wrong type, as insurance against
somebody introducing a similar bug into the core code in future.

It seems like a good idea to back-patch these two changes into
v12 and v13, although I'm afraid to change spgNewHeapItem's
mistaken idea of which datatype to use in those branches.

Per buildfarm results from ac9099fc1.

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.
