Fix JSON_TABLE PLAN deparse to keep parentheses around nested joins

get_json_table_plan() parenthesized the child of a parent/child
(OUTER/INNER) plan only when that child was a sibling (UNION/CROSS)
join, not when it was itself a parent/child join. A plan such as
PLAN (p0 OUTER (p1 INNER p11)) was therefore deparsed as
PLAN (p0 OUTER p1 INNER p11), which does not parse back to the same
plan tree -- a dump/restore hazard. Parenthesize the child whenever it
is not a bare path name, matching the logic already used for the
operands of sibling joins.
