    Fix error case for CREATE ROLE ... IN ROLE. · d9a4cce2
    Andrew Gierth authored
    CreateRole() was passing a Value node, not a RoleSpec node, for the
    newly-created role name when adding the role as a member of existing
    roles for the IN ROLE syntax.
    
    This mistake went unnoticed because the node in question is used only
    for error messages and is not accessed on non-error paths.
    
    In older pg versions (such as 9.5 where this was found), this results
    in an "unexpected node type" error in place of the real error. That
    node type check was removed at some point, after which the code would
    accidentally fail to fail on 64-bit platforms (on which accessing the
    Value node as if it were a RoleSpec would be mostly harmless) or give
    an "unexpected role type" error on 32-bit platforms.
    
    Fix the code to pass the correct node type, and add an lfirst_node
    assertion just in case.
    
    Per report on irc from user m1chelangelo.
    
    Backpatch all the way, because this error has been around for a long
    time.
