Fix ruleutils.c's dumping of whole-row Vars in ROW() and VALUES() contexts.
Normally ruleutils prints a whole-row Var as "foo.*". We already knew that
that doesn't work at top level of a SELECT list, because the parser would
treat the "*" as a directive to expand the reference into separate columns,
not a whole-row Var. However, Joshua Yanovski points out in bug #13776
that the same thing happens at top level of a ROW() construct; and some
nosing around in the parser shows that the same is true in VALUES().
Hence, apply the same workaround already devised for the SELECT-list case,
namely to add a forced cast to the appropriate rowtype in these cases.
(The alternative of just printing "foo" was rejected because it is
difficult to avoid ambiguity against plain columns named "foo".)
Back-patch to all supported branches.
