    Add infrastructure to support EphemeralNamedRelation references. · 18ce3a4a
    Kevin Grittner authored
    A QueryEnvironment concept is added, which allows new types of
    objects to be passed into queries from parsing on through
    execution.  At this point, the only thing implemented is a
    collection of EphemeralNamedRelation objects -- relations which
    can be referenced by name in queries, but do not exist in the
    catalogs.  The only type of ENR implemented is NamedTuplestore, but
    provision is made to add more types fairly easily.
    
    An ENR can carry its own TupleDesc or reference a relation in the
    catalogs by relid.
    
    Although these features can be used without SPI, convenience
    functions are added to SPI so that ENRs can easily be used by code
    run through SPI.
    
    The initial use of all this is going to be transition tables in
    AFTER triggers, but that will be added to each PL as a separate
    commit.
    
    An incidental effect of this patch is to produce a more informative
    error message if an attempt is made to modify the contents of a CTE
    from a referencing DML statement.  No tests previously covered that
    possibility, so one is added.
