Done. Attached is an updated version of the patch.

I didn't create aliases at anytime. Instead, I added a logic to get
info about the alias to a given expression from reltarget->exprs for
relations in a given join tree. See isSubqueryExpr and
getSubselectAliasInfo.

As proposed by you, the patch differentiates between a base relation
alias and a subquery alias by using different prefixes "r" and "s",
respectively. Also, subquery aliases are indexed by RTI for baserels
and the position in join_rel_list + the length of rtable for joinrels,
as proposed upthread.
