Dean Rasheed 8e0c252753 Fix RETURNING OLD with BEFORE UPDATE trigger and concurrent update.
When executing an UPDATE with a RETURNING clause on a table with a
BEFORE UPDATE row trigger, the computation of the OLD values in the
RETURNING list was incorrect if the target tuple was concurrently
updated by another session, at isolation level READ COMMITTED.

The problem was that the trigger code would lock the target tuple,
waiting for the other session to commit, and then fetch the updated
target tuple, but ExecUpdate() would not realise that the target tuple
had changed, and use the outdated target tuple for computing OLD
values. Fix by having ExecUpdate() check the TM_FailureData from
trigger execution and re-fetch the target tuple if necessary.

Re-fetching the target tuple like this is a little inefficient, but
probably negligible compared to the trigger execution and update. A
better long-term fix might be to move the EPQ code out of trigger.c,
and let ExecUpdate() handle it, like ExecMergeMatched() does, but that
would likely mean changing the trigger API, which seems a bit much for
back-patching.

Backpatch to v18, where support for RETURNING OLD/NEW was added.
