Dean Rasheed 5548a969b6 Fix UPDATE/DELETE ... WHERE CURRENT OF on a table with virtual columns.
Formerly, attempting to use WHERE CURRENT OF to update or delete from
a table with virtual generated columns would fail with the error
"WHERE CURRENT OF on a view is not implemented".

The reason was that the check preventing WHERE CURRENT OF from being
used on a view was in replace_rte_variables_mutator(), which presumed
that the only way it could get there was as part of rewriting a query
on a view. That is no longer the case, since replace_rte_variables()
is now also used to expand the virtual generated columns of a table.

Fix by doing the check for WHERE CURRENT OF on a view at parse time.
This is safe, since it is no longer possible for the relkind to change
after the query is parsed (as of b23cd185f).

Parser
======

This directory does more than tokenize and parse SQL queries.  It also
creates Query structures for the various complex queries that are passed
to the optimizer and then executor.

parser.c	things start here
scan.l		break query into tokens
scansup.c	handle escapes in input strings
gram.y		parse the tokens and produce a "raw" parse tree
analyze.c	top level of parse analysis for optimizable queries
parse_agg.c	handle aggregates, like SUM(col1),  AVG(col2), ...
parse_clause.c	handle clauses like WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, ...
parse_coerce.c	handle coercing expressions to different data types
parse_collate.c	assign collation information in completed expressions
parse_cte.c	handle Common Table Expressions (WITH clauses)
parse_expr.c	handle expressions like col, col + 3, x = 3 or x = 4
parse_enr.c	handle ephemeral named rels (trigger transition tables, ...)
parse_func.c	handle functions, table.column and column identifiers
parse_jsontable.c handle JSON_TABLE
parse_merge.c	handle MERGE
parse_node.c	create nodes for various structures
parse_oper.c	handle operators in expressions
parse_param.c	handle Params (for the cases used in the core backend)
parse_relation.c support routines for tables and column handling
parse_target.c	handle the result list of the query
parse_type.c	support routines for data type handling
parse_utilcmd.c	parse analysis for utility commands (done at execution time)

See also src/common/keywords.c, which contains the table of standard
keywords and the keyword lookup function.  We separated that out because
various frontend code wants to use it too.
