Hmm. AFAICT, the critical thing about this CHECK condition is simply
that it's bulky enough to create an out-of-line toasted "conbin" field
in pg_constraint. When we come to ON COMMIT DROP, we have to delete
the pg_constraint entry and thereby the toast item, and we evidently
lack a snapshot at that point.

Probably the reason is that addition of nullingrels fields to the Vars
pushed it over the edge of needing to be out-of-line. The test case
is very close to the line as stated --- for example, I found that it
didn't crash if I changed "en_AG.utf8" to "C", and wasted some time
pursuing the idea that the collation had something to do with it.
The crash got much more stable after adding a couple more dummy clauses
to the CHECK condition, and I've also reproduced it with clauses as
straightforward as "c0 < 'very-long-constant'".
