Reject attempts to alter composite types used in indexes.
find_composite_type_dependencies() ignored indexes, which is a poor decision because an expression index could have a stored column of a composite (or other container) type even when the underlying table does not. Teach it to detect such cases and error out. We have to work a bit harder than for other relations because the pg_depend entry won't identify the specific index column of concern, but it's not much new code. This does not address bug #17872's original complaint that dropping a column in such a type might lead to violations of the uniqueness property that a unique index is supposed to ensure. That seems of much less concern to me because it won't lead to crashes. Per bug #17872 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches.
