Strip removed-relation references from PHVs in join clauses
Commit 9a60f295b stripped the stale PlaceHolderVars left behind by
left-join removal from the surviving rels' baserestrictinfo and from
EquivalenceClass member expressions, but it overlooked join clauses.
A PlaceHolderVar embedded in a join clause can likewise retain the
removed rel and join in its phrels, since remove_rel_from_query()
fixes up the RestrictInfo's own relid sets but not the PHVs inside its
expression.
As before, this is normally harmless, because later processing
consults those relid sets rather than the embedded PHVs. However, a
restriction clause derived from such an OR join clause inherits the
stale PlaceHolderVar, and when the derived clause is translated for an
appendrel child, pull_varnos() recomputes its relids and folds the
removed relation back in. The rebuilt clause then references a
no-longer-existent relation, tripping an assertion during path
generation.
Fix by also stripping the removed relation from the PlaceHolderVars in
the surviving rels' join clauses, including the sub-clauses of any OR
clause.
Like 9a60f295b, this is only reachable on v18 and later, where
match_index_to_operand() began ignoring PlaceHolderVars.
