When an EXECUTE or FETCH statement is executed, there are two portals:
an outer portal that is created for the EXECUTE or FETCH statement itself,
and an inner portal for the statement being executed on its behalf.
Before this commit, nothing checked that these two portals agreed on
the tuple descriptor of the rows being returned. This can be leveraged
to disclose server memory contents and achieve arbitrary code execution.
To prevent that, we can make use of an existing safety mechanism,
added by Tom Lane in commit 2f48ede080,
which allows a tuplestore DestReceiver to be informed of the tupleDesc
required by the caller, and which will cause an ERROR to occur if
that doesn't match the tupleDesc of what emerges from the executor
(modulo dropped columns, which aren't an issue in the case at hand).
