Teach contain_leaked_vars that assignment SubscriptingRefs are leaky.
array_get_element and array_get_slice qualify as leakproof, since they will silently return NULL for bogus subscripts. But array_set_element and array_set_slice throw errors for such cases, making them clearly not leakproof. contain_leaked_vars was evidently written with only the former case in mind, as it gave the wrong answer for assignment SubscriptingRefs (nee ArrayRefs). This would be a live security bug, were it not that assignment SubscriptingRefs can only occur in INSERT and UPDATE target lists, while we only care about leakproofness for qual expressions; so the wrong answer can't occur in practice. Still, that's a rather shaky answer for a security-related question; and maybe in future somebody will want to ask about leakproofness of a tlist. So it seems wise to fix and even back-patch this correction. (We would need some change here anyway for the upcoming generic-subscripting patch, since extensions might make different tradeoffs about whether to throw errors. Commit 558d77f attempted to lay groundwork for that by asking check_functions_in_node whether a SubscriptingRef contains leaky functions; but that idea fails now that the implementation methods of a SubscriptingRef are not SQL-visible functions that could be marked leakproof or not.) Back-patch to 9.6. While 9.5 has the same issue, the code's a bit different. It seems quite unlikely that we'd introduce any actual bug in the short time 9.5 has left to live, so the work/risk/reward balance isn't attractive for changing 9.5.
