FetchStatementTargetList() dereferenced the portal named by a FetchStmt without checking that it still exists. With the extended query protocol, a client can sent a Parse "FETCH n FROM c" while cursor "c" is open (which caches a result's TupleDesc), issue a CLOSE on cursor "c", and then Describe the prepared statement or a portal bound to it. Describe would re-resolve the target list through the named cursor, and crash. In a non-assert builds, this causes a NULL pointer dereference. An assertion was triggered in assert builds slightly before the pointer dereference. This commit changes the describe of a FetchStmt to match with the ExecuteStmt case: if the named cursor's portal is invalid, fail rather than assume that the portal should always exist. A test case is added to libpq_pipeline, backpatchable all the way down.
