ReorderBufferChangeMemoryUpdate()ignores this type of change whereas ReorderBufferChangeSize(), consider at least
sizeof(ReorderBufferChange)bytes to this change. So if we compute the size using ReorderBufferChangeSize() outside of
ReorderBufferChangeMemoryUpdate(),then total size will be different from what we have now. Logically, we should be
ignoring/assertingREORDER_BUFFER_CHANGE_INTERNAL_TUPLECID in ReorderBufferChangeSize(), because
ReorderBufferChangeMemoryUpdate()is the only caller for this function.

Sounds reasonable. Another point that needs some thought is do we want
to backpatch this change till v13? I am not sure if there is any
user-visible bug here but maybe it is still good to fix this in back
branches. What do you think?
