When there is both a serialization failure and a unique violation, throw the former rather than the latter. When initially pushed, this was viewed as a feature to assist application framework developers, so that they could more accurately determine when to retry a failed transaction, but a test case presented by Ian Jackson has shown that this patch can prevent serialization anomalies in some cases where a unique violation is caught within a subtransaction, the work of that subtransaction is discarded, and no error is thrown. That makes this a bug fix, so it is being back-patched to all supported branches where it is not already present (i.e., 9.2 to 9.5).
