I mean that we should change code like this:

elog(ERROR, "could not find plan for CTE \"%s\"", rte->ctename)

to this:

elog(INTERNAL_ERROR, "could not find plan for CTE \"%s\"", rte->ctename)

(which would necessitate creating a new severity level, INTERNAL_ERROR).

So that DBAs could find these kinds of problems systematically. This
is an error message that we expect no one to see.
