Improve RowMark handling during Self-Join Elimination

The Self-Join Elimination SJE feature messes up keeping and removing RowMark's
in remove_self_joins_one_group(). That didn't lead to user-level error,
because the planned RowMark is only used to reference a rtable entry in later
execution stages. An RTE entry for keeping and removing relations is
identical and refers to the same relation OID.

To reduce confusion and prevent future issues, this commit cleans up the code
and fixes the incorrect behaviour. Furthermore, it includes sanity checks in
setrefs.c on existing non-null RTE and RelOptInfo entries for each RowMark.
