Fix UPDATE/DELETE WHERE CURRENT OF to support repeated update and update-
then-delete on the current cursor row. The basic fix is that nodeTidscan.c has to apply heap_get_latest_tid() to the current-scan-TID obtained from the cursor query; this ensures we get the latest row version to work with. However, since that only works if the query plan is a TID scan, we also have to hack the planner to make sure only that type of plan will be selected. (Formerly, the planner might decide to apply a seqscan if the table is very small. This change is probably a Good Thing anyway, since it's hard to see how a seqscan could really win.) That means the execQual.c code to support CurrentOfExpr as a regular expression type is dead code, so replace it with just an elog(). Also, add regression tests covering these cases. Note that the added tests expose the fact that re-fetching an updated row misbehaves if the cursor used FOR UPDATE. That's an independent bug that should be fixed later. Per report from Dharmendra Goyal.
