Thanks for updating the patch.

When reviewing the patch, I found the patch allows using system columns in
row filter expression.
---
create publication pub for table test WHERE ('(0,1)'::tid=ctid);
---

Since we can't create index on system column and most
existing expression feature(index expr,partition expr,table constr) doesn't
allow using system column, I think it might be better to disallow using system
column when creating or altering the publication. We can check like:

rowfilter_walker(Node *node, Relation relation)
...
if (var->varattno < 0)
	ereport(ERROR,
			errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_COLUMN_REFERENCE),
			errmsg("cannot use system column \"%s\" in column generation expression",
...
