pgsql: Avoid O(N^2) cost when pulling up lots of UNION ALL subqueries.

Avoid O(N^2) cost when pulling up lots of UNION ALL subqueries.

perform_pullup_replace_vars() knows how to scan the whole parent
query tree when we are replacing Vars during a subquery flattening
operation. However, for the specific case of flattening a
UNION ALL leaf query, that's mostly wasted work: the only place
where relevant Vars could exist is in the AppendRelInfo that we
just made for this leaf. Teaching perform_pullup_replace_vars()
to just deal with that and exit is worthwhile because, if we have
N such subqueries to pull up, we were spending O(N^2) work uselessly
mutating the AppendRelInfos for all the other subqueries.

While we're at it, avoid calling substitute_phv_relids if there are no
PlaceHolderVars, and remove an obsolete check of parse->hasSubLinks.
