Fix failure to consider failure cases in GetComboCommandId().

tglsfdc · tglsfdc · commit 0da3a9bef7ad · 2015-11-26T13:23:02.000-05:00
Failure to initially palloc the comboCids array, or to realloc it bigger when needed, left combocid's data structures in an inconsistent state that would cause trouble if the top transaction continues to execute. Noted while examining a user complaint about the amount of memory used for this. (There's not much we can do about that, but it does point up that repalloc failure has a non-negligible chance of occurring here.) In HEAD/9.5, also avoid possible invocation of memcpy() with a null pointer in SerializeComboCIDState; cf commit 13bba02.
