I looked at that more closely, and realized that blaming the executor
is wrong: the real issue is that ALTER TABLE itself supposes that it
need only evaluate expressions against the old tuple.  That's easy
to fix with a bit more code though.  I propose the attached.

(Note that this should also allow relaxing the existing implementation
restriction against changing types of columns that GENERATED columns
depend on: all we have to do is re-parse the generation expression
and schedule it for evaluation.  I've not looked into that, and it
doesn't seem like a bug fix anyway.)
