Upon reflection, I want to forget about all that for now and propose
just a one line addition to _bt_check_unique that can handle the
explicit read-then-write cases reported. See attached.
(There may be a separate follow-up patch that refactors to examine
heap tuples like in the previous version, if that turns out to be
necessary to detect more complicated cases like "r2 w1 w2 c1 c2" (as I
suspect), but I'm not sure about that or if I'll be able to do that
for this CF and until then there's no point in arranging the code that
way.)
