Thanks for taking this up for review. Attached is the updated patch
v17, that covers the below points.

Yes that's right. Replaced InvalidOid by NULL since ItemPointer is a pointer.

Done all the above. Added two separate asserts, one for DELETE and the
other for INSERT.

Actually, since transition tables came in, the functions like
ExecARUpdateTriggers() or ExecARInsertTriggers() have this additional
purpose of capturing transition table rows, so that the images of the
tables are visible when statement triggers are fired that refer to
these transition tables. So in the above code, these functions only
capture rows, they do not add any event for firing any ROW triggers.
AfterTriggerSaveEvent() returns without adding any event if it's
called only for transition capture. So even if UPDATE row triggers are
defined, they won't get fired in case of row movement, although the
updated rows would be captured if transition tables are referenced in
these triggers or in the statement triggers.
