Potential NULL dereference found in typecmds.c

Hi folks,

Sentry found this error last night, and it looks serious enough to
report.  The error was introduced in commit 426cafc.  Here's the code
in question, starting at line 2096:
   if (!found)   {       con = NULL;     /* keep compiler quiet */       ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_UNDEFINED_OBJECT),               errmsg("constraint \"%s\" of domain \"%s\" does not exist",
           constrName, NameStr(con->conname))));   }
 

It sets 'con' to NULL and then in the next statement, dereferences it.
I'm not sure if it's possible to reach this path, but if it is
reachable it will cause a crash.

Best Regards,
Mike
