In an inherited UPDATE/DELETE, each target table has its own subplan, because it might have a column set different from other targets. This means that the resjunk columns we add to support EvalPlanQual might be at different physical column numbers in each subplan. The EvalPlanQual rewrite I did for 9.0 failed to account for this, resulting in possible misbehavior or even crashes during concurrent updates to the same row, as seen in a recent report from Gordon Shannon. Revise the data structure so that we track resjunk column numbers separately for each subplan. I also chose to move responsibility for identifying the physical column numbers back to executor startup, instead of assuming that numbers derived during preprocess_targetlist would stay valid throughout subsequent massaging of the plan. That's a bit slower, so we might want to consider undoing it someday; but it would complicate the patch considerably and didn't seem justifiable in a bug fix that has to be back-patched to 9.0.
