Bug reference:      19469
Logged by:          HaoGang Mao
Email address:      haogangmao@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 17.3
Operating system:   OS: Linux (Docker)
Description:

An open cursor can continue returning tuples built with the old physical
layout of a named composite type. If that type is changed in the same
transaction (for example ALTER TYPE ... ALTER ATTRIBUTE ... TYPE), a later
FETCH may format the tuple using updated descriptor and output metadata.

Minimal Reproduction SQL:
```sql
CREATE TYPE foo AS (a INT, b INT);
BEGIN;
DECLARE c CURSOR FOR
  SELECT (i, power(2, 30))::foo
  FROM generate_series(1,10) i;
FETCH c;
ALTER TYPE foo ALTER ATTRIBUTE b TYPE TEXT;
FETCH c;
COMMIT;
```
