It was possible to trigger read_stream_begin_relation's
assertion that it calculated nonzero max_pinned_buffers,
in scenarios with unreasonably small numbers of buffers.
There seems to be no visible problem in non-Assert builds.
The bug occurs only in v17 (the first branch containing
this logic), because commit 92fc6856c replaced that Assert
with a runtime clamp. I won't risk back-patching that entire
commit, but let's copy just this minimal fix.
