postgres_fdw: Disable batch insert when BEFORE ROW INSERT triggers exist.

Etsuro Fujita · Etsuro Fujita · commit 89d349b0a023 · 2022-04-21T15:30:02.000+09:00
Previously, we allowed this, but such triggers might query the table to insert into and act differently if the tuples that have already been processed and prepared for insertion are not there, so disable it in such cases. Back-patch to v14 where batch insert was added. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAPmGK16_uPqsmgK0-LpLSUk54_BoK13bPrhxhfjSoSTVz414hA%40mail.gmail.com
