For inplace update durability, make heap_update() callers wait.
The previous commit fixed some ways of losing an inplace update. It remained possible to lose one when a backend working toward a heap_update() copied a tuple into memory just before inplace update of that tuple. In catalogs eligible for inplace update, use LOCKTAG_TUPLE to govern admission to the steps of copying an old tuple, modifying it, and issuing heap_update(). This includes MERGE commands. To avoid changing most of the pg_class DDL, don't require LOCKTAG_TUPLE when holding a relation lock sufficient to exclude inplace updaters. Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions). In v13 and v12, "UPDATE pg_class" or "UPDATE pg_database" can still lose an inplace update. The v14+ UPDATE fix needs commit 86dc90056dfdbd9d1b891718d2e5614e3e432f35, and it wasn't worth reimplementing that fix without such infrastructure. Reviewed by Nitin Motiani and (in earlier versions) Heikki Linnakangas. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20231027214946.79.nmisch@google.com
