Log Message:
-----------
Add a new column to pg_am to specify whether an index AM supports backward
scanning; GiST and GIN do not, and it seems like too much trouble to make
them do so. By teaching ExecSupportsBackwardScan() about this restriction,
we ensure that the planner will protect a scroll cursor from the problem
by adding a Materialize node.
In passing, fix another longstanding bug in the same area: backwards scan of
a plan with set-returning functions in the targetlist did not work either,
since the TupFromTlist expansion code pays no attention to direction (and
has no way to run a SRF backwards anyway). Again the fix is to make
ExecSupportsBackwardScan check this restriction.
Also adjust the index AM API specification to note that mark/restore support
is unnecessary if the AM can't produce ordered output.
