pgsql: Remove ineffective check against dropped columns from slot_getat

Remove ineffective check against dropped columns from slot_getattr().

Before this commit slot_getattr() checked for dropped
columns (returning NULL in that case), but only after checking for
previously deformed columns. As slot_deform_tuple() does not contain
such a check, the check in slot_getattr() would often not have been
reached, depending on previous use of the slot.

These days locking and plan invalidation ought to ensure that dropped
columns are not accessed in query plans. Therefore this commit just
drops the insufficient check in slot_getattr(). It's possible that
we'll find some holes againt use of dropped columns, but if so, those
need to be addressed independent of slot_getattr(), as most accesses
don't go through that function anyway.
