Fix old oversight in join removal logic.

Commit 9e7e29c75ad441450f9b8287bd51c13521641e3b introduced an Assert that
join removal didn't reduce the eval_at set of any PlaceHolderVar to empty.
At first glance it looks like join_is_removable ensures that's true --- but
actually, the loop in join_is_removable skips PlaceHolderVars that are not
referenced above the join due to be removed.  So, if we don't want any
empty eval_at sets, the right thing to do is to delete any now-unreferenced
PlaceHolderVars from the data structure entirely.

Per fuzz testing by Andreas Seltenreich.  Back-patch to 9.3 where the
aforesaid Assert was added.
