Sanitize IF NOT EXISTS in EXPLAIN for CTAS and matviews

IF NOT EXISTS was ignored when specified in an EXPLAIN query for CREATE
MATERIALIZED VIEW or CREATE TABLE AS.  Hence, if this clause was
specified, the caller would get a failure if the relation already
exists instead of a success with a NOTICE message.

This commit makes the behavior of IF NOT EXISTS in EXPLAIN consistent
with the non-EXPLAIN'd DDL queries, preventing a failure with IF NOT
EXISTS if the relation to-be-created already exists.  The skip is done
before the SELECT query used for the relation is planned or executed,
and a "dummy" plan is generated instead depending on the format used by
EXPLAIN.
