Instead put in a test to drop a NULL default at the last moment before
storing the catalog entry.  This changes the behavior in a couple of ways:
* Specifying DEFAULT NULL when creating an inheritance child table will
  successfully suppress inheritance of any default expression from the
  parent's column, where formerly it failed to do so.
* Specifying DEFAULT NULL for a column of a domain type will correctly
  override any default belonging to the domain; likewise for a sub-domain.
The latter change happens because by the time the clause is checked,
it won't be a simple null Const but a CoerceToDomain expression.

that have default expressions different from their parent.  First, if the

ALTER TABLE command, we need a dependency constraint to ensure that the
child's command is given second.  This is because the ALTER TABLE on the
parent will propagate to the child.  (We can't prevent that by using ONLY on
the parent's command, since it's possible that other children exist that
should receive the inherited default.)  Second, if the child has a NULL
default where the parent does not, we have to explicitly say DEFAULT NULL on
the child in order for this state to be preserved after reload.  (The latter

Fix UPDATE/DELETE WHERE CURRENT OF to support repeated update and update-

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
