Tom Lane 94aaa79afe Avoid memcpy() with same source and destination during relmapper init. 
A narrow reading of the C standard says that memcpy(x,x,n) is undefined,
although it's hard to envision an implementation that would really
misbehave.  However, analysis tools such as valgrind might whine about
this; accordingly, let's band-aid relmapper.c to not do it.

See also 5b630501e, d3f4e8a8a, ad7b48ea0, and other similar fixes.
Apparently, none of those folk tried valgrinding initdb?  This has been
like this for long enough that I'm surprised it hasn't been reported
before.

Back-patch, just in case anybody wants to use a back branch on a platform
that complains about this; we back-patched those earlier fixes too.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
