  14. doc: Clarify that pg_attrdef also stores generation expressions

  15. Clean out column-level pg_init_privs entries when dropping tables.

  16. Re-implement the ereport() macro using __VA_ARGS__.

drop table t3;
CREATE TABLE t3( b bigint, c int GENERATED ALWAYS AS (b * 2) VIRTUAL);
insert into t3 (b) values (22147483647);
ANALYZE t3;

for ANALYZE
since column c has no actual  storage, so it's not analyzable?
we need to change the function examine_attribute accordingly?


For the above example, for each insert row, we actually need to call
int84 to validate c value.
we probably need something similar to have ExecComputeStoredGenerated etc,
but we don't need to store it.
