Clear more substructure of a dead relation during join removal.

The tablesample and securityQuals subtrees of a RangeTblEntry can
include Vars, which will cause trouble if they point at a removed
rel and are visited during later processing. Hence, clear those
fields during join removal, as we already do for the subquery field.
remove_useless_outer_joins got this right for securityQuals but
not tablesample, while remove_self_join_rel missed doing it for
securityQuals. (It escapes trouble for tablesample only because we
made a policy decision to never touch sampled relations for SJE.)

Oversight in 2ebf25e7d. Back-patch to v16, like that commit
(but the SJE issue only goes as far back as v18).
