Peter Geoghegan e7428a99a1 Add hardening to catch invalid TIDs in indexes.
Add hardening to the heapam index tuple deletion path to catch TIDs in
index pages that point to a heap item that index tuples should never
point to.  The corruption we're trying to catch here is particularly
tricky to detect, since it typically involves "extra" (corrupt) index
tuples, as opposed to the absence of required index tuples in the index.

For example, a heap TID from an index page that turns out to point to an
LP_UNUSED item in the heap page has a good chance of being caught by one
of the new checks.  There is a decent chance that the recently fixed
parallel VACUUM bug (see commit 9bacec15) would have been caught had
that particular check been in place for Postgres 14.  No backpatch of
this extra hardening for now, though.

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/.
