Andres Freund 3fabed0705 Correctly handle relcache invalidation corner case during logical decoding.
When using a historic snapshot for logical decoding it can validly
happen that a relation that's in the relcache isn't visible to that
historic snapshot.  E.g. if a newly created relation is referenced in
the query that uses the SQL interface for logical decoding and a
sinval reset occurs.

The earlier commit that fixed the error handling for that corner case
already improves the situation as a ERROR is better than hitting an
assertion... But it's obviously not good enough.  So additionally
allow that case without an error if a historic snapshot is set up -
that won't allow an invalid entry to stay in the cache because it's a)
already marked invalid and will thus be rebuilt during the next access
b) the syscaches will be reset at the end of decoding.

There might be prettier solutions to handle this case, but all that we
could think of so far end up being much more complex than this quite
simple fix.

This fixes the assertion failures reported by the buildfarm (markhor,
tick, leech) after the introduction of new regression tests in
89fd41b390. The failure there weren't actually directly caused by
CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS but the extraordinary long runtimes due to it
lead to sinval resets triggering the behaviour.

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:

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.
