I have committed v2-0002-Add-test-for-REPLICA-IDENTITY-with-a-temporal-key.patch.

About v2-0001-Fix-ON-CONFLICT-DO-NOTHING-UPDATE-for-temporal-in.patch, I think the
ideas are right, but I wonder if we can fine-tune the new conditionals a bit.

Here, I think we could check !indexDesc->rd_index->indisexclusion instead. So we
wouldn't need ii_HasWithoutOverlaps.

Or we could push this into BuildSpeculativeIndexInfo(); it could just skip the rest
if an exclusion constraint is passed, on the theory that all the speculative index
info is already present in that case.

Shouldn't this use only idxForm->indisexclusion anyway? Like

+ if (idxForm->indisexclusion && onconflict->action == ONCONFLICT_UPDATE)

That matches what the error message is reporting afterwards.

Maybe here we need a comment. Or make that a separate statement, like

/* not supported yet etc. */
if (idxForm->indixexclusion)
next;
