Ignore dropped columns during apply of update/delete.

Amit Kapila · Amit Kapila · commit b797def5951f · 2023-03-21T09:47:21.000+05:30
We fail to apply updates and deletes when the REPLICA IDENTITY FULL is used for the table having dropped columns. We didn't use to ignore dropped columns while doing tuple comparison among the tuples from the publisher and subscriber during apply of updates and deletes.
