Avoid touching replica identity index in ExtractReplicaIdentity().
In what seems like a fit of misplaced optimization,
ExtractReplicaIdentity() accessed the relation's replica-identity
index without taking any lock on it. Usually, the surrounding query
already holds some lock so this is safe enough ... but in the case
of a previously-planned delete, there might be no existing lock.
Given a suitable test case, this is exposed in v12 and HEAD by an
assertion added by commit b04aeb0.
The whole thing's rather poorly thought out anyway; rather than
looking directly at the index, we should use the index-attributes
bitmap that's held by the parent table's relcache entry, as the
caller functions do. This is more consistent and likely a bit
faster, since it avoids a cache lookup. Hence, change to doing it
that way.
While at it, rather than blithely assuming that the identity
columns are non-null (with catastrophic results if that's wrong),
add assertion checks that they aren't null. Possibly those should
be actual test-and-elog, but I'll leave it like this for now.
In principle, this is a bug that's been there since this code was
introduced (in 9.4). In practice, the risk seems quite low, since
we do have a lock on the index's parent table, so concurrent
changes to the index's catalog entries seem unlikely. Given the
precedent that commit 9c703c1 wasn't back-patched, I won't risk
back-patching this further than v12.
