David Rowley c1d6506acc Fix possible crash during WindowAgg evaluation
When short-circuiting WindowAgg node evaluation on the top-level
WindowAgg node using quals on monotonic window functions, because the
WindowAgg run condition can mean there's no need to evaluate subsequent
window function results in the same partition once the run condition
becomes false, it was possible that the executor would use stale results
from the previous invocation of the window function in some cases.

A fix for this was partially done by a5832722, but that commit only
fixed the issue for non-top-level WindowAgg nodes.  I mistakenly thought
that the top-level WindowAgg didn't have this issue, but Jayesh's example
case clearly shows that's incorrect.  At the time, I also thought that
this only affected 32-bit systems as all window functions which then
supported run conditions returned BIGINT, however, that's wrong as
ExecProject is still called and that could cause evaluation of any other
window function belonging to the same WindowAgg node, one of which may
return a byref type.

The only queries affected by this are WindowAggs with a "Run Condition"
which contains at least one window function with a byref result type,
such as lead() or lag() on a byref column.  The window clause must also
contain a PARTITION BY clause (without a PARTITION BY, execution of the
WindowAgg stops immediately when the run condition becomes false and
there's no risk of using the stale results).

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
