Fix concurrent delete handling in MERGE ... WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE.

When executing a WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE action in MERGE, if the
tuple from the target table was concurrently deleted, the retry code
would incorrectly execute a WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET action for the
row instead, giving incorrect results.

Fix in ExecMergeMatched() -- when handling a TM_Deleted failure
status, it should only set *matched to false (telling the caller to
execute any WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET actions) if the failed action
was a WHEN MATCHED action. For a failed WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE
action, the source tuple did not exist, and the target tuple has just
been deleted, so it should do nothing.

Back-patch to v17, where support for WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE
actions was introduced.
