Fix RI fast-path permission checks

The fast path required table-level SELECT on the referenced table,
rejecting checks that the SPI path allows with column-level grants.
It also omitted the UPDATE privilege required by FOR KEY SHARE.

When table privileges do not suffice, use ExecCheckOneRelPerms() with
the referenced key columns as selectedCols and an empty updatedCols.
This accepts SELECT on all referenced columns and UPDATE on any column,
the same privileges the executor would require for the SELECT ... FOR
KEY SHARE the SPI path runs.  Keep the table-privilege check as a
shortcut that avoids constructing a column bitmap in the usual case.

Add missing regression test coverage for the fixed cases.
