    Remove typmod checking from the recent security-related patches. It turns · a8c3f161

    out that ExecEvalVar and friends don't necessarily have access to a tuple
    descriptor with correct typmod: it definitely can contain -1, and possibly
    might contain other values that are different from the Var's value.
    Arguably this should be cleaned up someday, but it's not a simple change,
    and in any case typmod discrepancies don't pose a security hazard.
    Per reports from numerous people :-(
    
    I'm not entirely sure whether the failure can occur in 8.0 --- the simple
    test cases reported so far don't trigger it there.  But back-patch the
    change all the way anyway.
