json{b}_populate_recordset() used the tuple descriptor created from the
query-level AS clause without worrying about whether it matched the actual
input record type. If it didn't, that would usually result in a crash,
though disclosure of server memory contents seems possible as well, for a
skilled attacker capable of issuing crafted SQL commands. Instead, use
the query-supplied descriptor only when there is no input tuple to look at,
and otherwise get a tuple descriptor based on the input tuple's own type
marking. The core code will detect any type mismatch in the latter case.
