Fix bogus Assert in find_var_for_subquery_tle
find_var_for_subquery_tle() searches a subquery rel's targetlist for a
Var referencing a given subquery output column, and asserted that any
Var it finds there belongs to that rel. That does not hold for an
appendrel child. set_append_rel_size() builds the child's targetlist
by translating the parent's, and as noted there the result can contain
arbitrary expressions. In particular, when a member of a LATERAL UNION
ALL subquery is pulled up and its output is a lateral reference, the
translated expression is a Var of the laterally referenced rel. If the
child is itself a subquery with sorted paths, convert_subquery_pathkeys()
would trip the Assert.
In non-assert builds, the function went on to compare such a Var's
varattno with the subquery column's resno, and so could match a Var of
an unrelated rel.
To fix, ignore Vars that do not belong to the subquery rel, the same
way set_rel_width() already does. Also correct the adjacent comment,
which claimed that the only non-Var entries are placeholders.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
