Fix planner error with multiple copies of an AlternativeSubPlan.

It's possible for us to copy an AlternativeSubPlan expression node
into multiple places, for example the scan quals of several
partition children.  Then it's possible that we choose a different
one of the alternatives as optimal in each place.  Commit 41efb8340
failed to consider this scenario, so its attempt to remove "unused"
subplans could remove subplans that were still used elsewhere.

Fix by delaying the removal logic until we've examined all the
AlternativeSubPlans in a given query level.  (This does assume that
AlternativeSubPlans couldn't get copied to other query levels, but
for the foreseeable future that's fine; cf qual_is_pushdown_safe.)

Per report from Rajkumar Raghuwanshi.  Back-patch to v14
where the faulty logic came in.
