The change to the way that CreateStatistics() records dependencies
isn't quite right -- recordDependencyOnSingleRelExpr() will not create
any dependencies if the expression uses only a whole-row Var. However,
pull_varattnos() will include whole-row Vars, and so nattnums_exprs
will be non-zero, and CreateStatistics() will not create a whole-table
dependency when it should.

I suppose that could be fixed up by inspecting the bitmapset returned
by pull_varattnos() in more detail, but I think it's probably safer to
revert to the previous code, which matched what index_create() did.

Regards,
Dean
