Guard against table-AM-less relations in planner.

The executor will dump core if it's asked to execute a seqscan on
a relation having no table AM, such as a view.  While that shouldn't
really happen, it's possible to get there via catalog corruption,
such as a missing ON SELECT rule.  It seems worth installing a defense
against that.  There are multiple plausible places for such a defense,
but I picked the planner's get_relation_info().

Per discussion of bug #17646 from Kui Liu.  Back-patch to v12 where
the tableam APIs were introduced; in older versions you won't get a
SIGSEGV, so it seems less pressing.
