stringToNode() and deparse_expression_pretty() crash on invalid input,
but we have nevertheless exposed them to users via pg_get_expr(). It would be too much maintenance effort to rigorously check the input, so put a hack in place instead to restrict pg_get_expr() so that the argument must come from one of the system catalog columns known to contain valid expressions. Per report from Rushabh Lathia. Backpatch to 7.4 which is the oldest supported version at the moment.
