Fix stream abort for a transaction that was never streamed.
Commit 072ee847ad4 taught logical decoding to discard the changes of a
transaction that is already known to be aborted when it is picked for
eviction. That path reuses ReorderBufferTruncateTXN(), which marks
every subtransaction that still has in-memory changes as
streamed. Since nothing is streamed in that path, and the top-level
transaction is never marked, a subtransaction ends up flagged as
streamed even though the output plugin has never seen it. Decoding the
subsequent abort record then makes ReorderBufferAbort() invoke the
stream_abort callback for that subtransaction.
For pgoutput this sends a Stream Abort ('A') message to a subscriber
that requested streaming = off, and it does so regardless of the
negotiated protocol version, so even a client speaking a version that
predates transaction streaming receives a message it cannot
parse. test_decoding dereferences a NULL pointer and crashes, since it
allocates its per-transaction state in the begin or stream start
callback, neither of which runs for a transaction discarded as
aborted.
This commit fixes this by marking a subtransaction as streamed only
when it has changes and its top-level transaction is already marked as
streamed. All streaming call sites mark the top-level transaction
before truncating it, so their behavior is unchanged, while the
abort-discard path never marks the top-level transaction and therefore
now leaves its subtransactions unmarked.
Backpatch to v18, where commit 072ee847ad4 was introduced.
