#5983: Data corruption in topology.topoelement and topology.topogeometry after

Comment (by francoisb):
FWIW, in my database (PostgreSQL 16.10, macOS), I was able to recover the
topogeometry columns with these two steps:
1) Upgrade the topology to use the bigint feature:
{{{
SELECT UpgradeTopology('topo_1');
}}}
Note I'm not 100% sure this step is actually needed, but I add it here
because I did it. We could test without, and perhaps remove it.
2) Recover `id` and `type` values from the bytes of corrupted `id`, with a
query like:
{{{
UPDATE table_1
SET
topogeom = (
(topogeom).topology_id,
(topogeom).layer_id,
(topogeom).id & 0xFFFFFFFF, -- 32 least significant bits from
corrupted "id"
(topogeom).id >> 32 -- 32 most significant bits from corrupted
"id"
)::topogeometry
WHERE topogeom IS NOT NULL
RETURNING topogeom;
}}}
