    Fix IOS planning when only some index columns can return an attribute. · b5febc1d

    Since 9.5, it's possible that some but not all columns of an index
    support returning the indexed value for index-only scans.  If the
    same indexed column appears in index columns that behave both ways,
    check_index_only() supposed that it'd be OK to do an index-only scan
    testing that column; but that fails if we have to recheck the indexed
    condition on one of the columns that doesn't support this.
    
    In principle we could make this work by remapping the recheck expressions
    to pull the value from a column that does support returning the indexed
    value.  But such cases are so weird and rare that, at least for now,
    it doesn't seem worth the trouble.  Instead, just teach check_index_only
    that a value is returnable only if all the index columns containing it
    are returnable, rather than any of them.
    
    Per report from David Pereiro Lagares.  Back-patch to 9.5 where the
    possibility of this situation appeared.
