Fix bug I introduced in recent patch to make hash joins discard null tuples

immediately: ExecHashGetHashValue failed to restore the caller's memory
context before taking the failure exit.

Turn the rangetable used by the executor into a flat list, and avoid storing
...
useless substructure for its RangeTblEntry nodes. (I chose to keep using the
same struct node type and just zero out the link fields for unneeded info,
rather than making a separate ExecRangeTblEntry type --- it seemed too
fragile to have two different rangetable representations.)
Along the way, put subplans into a list in the toplevel PlannedStmt node,
and have SubPlan nodes refer to them by list index instead of direct pointers.
Vadim wanted to do that years ago, but I never understood what he was on about
until now. It makes things a *whole* lot more robust, because we can stop
worrying about duplicate processing of subplans during expression tree
traversals. That's been a constant source of bugs, and it's finally gone.
There are some consequent simplifications yet to be made, like not using
a separate EState for subplans in the executor, but I'll tackle that later.

btree source code cleanups:
...
I refactored findsplitloc and checksplitloc so that the division of
labor is more clear IMO. I pushed all the space calculation inside the
loop to checksplitloc.
I also fixed the off by 4 in free space calculation caused by
PageGetFreeSpace subtracting sizeof(ItemIdData), even though it was
harmless, because it was distracting and I felt it might come back to
bite us in the future if we change the page layout or alignments.
There's now a new function PageGetExactFreeSpace that doesn't do the
subtraction.
findsplitloc now tries the "just the new item to right page" split as
well. If people don't like the refactoring, I can write a patch to just
add that.

Remove the Query structure from the executor's API. This allows us to stop
...
storing mostly-redundant Query trees in prepared statements, portals, etc.
To replace Query, a new node type called PlannedStmt is inserted by the
planner at the top of a completed plan tree; this carries just the fields of
Query that are still needed at runtime. The statement lists kept in portals
etc. now consist of intermixed PlannedStmt and bare utility-statement nodes
--- no Query. This incidentally allows us to remove some fields from Query
and Plan nodes that shouldn't have been there in the first place.
Still to do: simplify the execution-time range table; at the moment the
range table passed to the executor still contains Query trees for subqueries.
initdb forced due to change of stored rules.
