I agree that this is a timing issue.  I also don't see a way to write
a reproducible test for this.  However, I could reproduce it via
debugger consistently by following the below steps.  I have updated a
few comments and commit messages in the attached patch.

Peter E., Petr J or anyone else, do you have comments or objections on
this patch?  If none, then I am planning to commit (and backpatch)
this patch in a few days time.

Test steps to reproduce the issue.
Set up
---------
set up master and subscriber nodes.
In code, add a while(true) in apply_handle_update() before a call to
logicalrep_rel_open().  This is to ensure that we can debug the replay
of Update
operation on subscriber.

Master
-----------
Create table t1(c1 int);
Create publication pub_t1 for table t1;
Alter table t1 replica identity full;


Subscriber
-------------
Create table t1(c1 int);
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub_t1 CONNECTION 'host=localhost port=5432
dbname=postgres' PUBLICATION pub_t1;

Master
----------
Insert into t1 values(1);  --this will create LogicalRepRelMap entry
for t1 on subscriber.

Subscriber
----------
Select * from t1; -- This should display the data inserted in master.

Master
----------
Update t1 set c1 = 2 where c1=1;

Now on the subscriber, attach a debugger and debug logicalrep_rel_open
and stop debugger just before table_open call.

Subscriber
-----------
Alter table t1 add c2 int;

Now, continue in debugger, it should crash in slot_store_cstrings()
because the rel->attrmap is not updated.
