Improve handling of pathtargets in planner.c.
Refactor so that the internal APIs in planner.c deal in PathTargets not
targetlists, and establish a more regular structure for deriving the
targets needed for successive steps.
There is more that could be done here; calculating the eval costs of each
successive target independently is both inefficient and wrong in detail,
since we won't actually recompute values available from the input node's
tlist. But it's no worse than what happened before the pathification
rewrite. In any case this seems like a good starting point for considering
how to handle Konstantin Knizhnik's function-evaluation-postponement patch.
