This is a change to make the bitmap of updated columns available to a
trigger in TriggerData. This is the same idea as was recently done to
generated columns [0]: Generic triggers such as tsvector_update_trigger
can use this information to skip work if the columns they are interested
in haven't changed. With the generated columns change, perhaps this
isn't so interesting anymore, but I suspect a lot of existing
installations still use tsvector_update_trigger. In any case, since I
had already written the code, I figured I post it here. Perhaps there
are other use cases.
