The feature is only intended for getting consistent outputs for the regression tests.
RETURNING does not have any ordering gurantees and with unified executor, the ordering
of query executions on the shards are also becoming unpredictable. Thus, we're enforcing
ordering when a GUC is set.
We implicitly add an `ORDER BY` something equivalent of
`
RETURNING expr1, expr2, .. ,exprN
ORDER BY expr1, expr2, .. ,exprN
`
As described in the code comments as well, this is probably not the most
performant approach we could implement. However, since we're only
targeting regression tests, I don't see any issues with that. If we
decide to expand this to a feature to users, we should revisit the
implementation and improve the performance.
This commit has two goals:
(a) Ensure to access both edges of the allocated stack
(b) Ensure that any compiler optimizations to prevent the
function optimized away.

We used to rely on PG function flatten_join_alias_vars
to resolve actual columns referenced in target entry list.
The function goes deep and finds the actual relation. This logic
usually works fine. However, when joins are given an alias, inner
relation names are not visible to target entry entry. Thus relation
resolving should stop when we the target entry column refers an
rte of an aliased join.
We stopped using PG function and provided our own flatten function.
Our assumption that strip_implicit_coercions would leave us with a bi-
nary-compatible type to that of the partition key was wrong. Instead,
we should ensure the RHS of the comparison we perform is proactively
coerced into a compatible type (at least binary compatible).
At configuration reload, we free all "global" (i.e. GUC-set) connection
parameters, but these may still have live references in the connection
parameters hash. By marking the entries as invalid, we can ensure they
will not be used after free.
Having DATA-segment string literals made blindly freeing the keywords/
values difficult, so I've switched to allocating all in the provided
context; because of this (and with the knowledge of the end point of
the global parameters), we can safely pfree non-global parameters when
we come across an invalid connection parameter entry.
Do it in two ways (a) re-use the rte list as much as possible instead of
re-calculating over and over again (b) Limit the recursion to the relevant
parts of the query tree
