Teach query_tree_walker, query_tree_mutator, and SS_finalize_plan to
process function RTE expressions, which they were previously missing.
This allows outer-Var references and subselects to work correctly in
the arguments of a function RTE. Install check to prevent function RTEs
from cross-referencing Vars of sibling FROM-items, which doesn't make
any sense (if you want to join, write a JOIN or WHERE clause).

Change set_plan_references and join_references to take an rtable List
rather than a Query node; this allows set_plan_references to recurse
into subplans correctly. Fixes core dump on full outer joins in
subplans. Also, invoke preprocess_expression on function RTEs'
function expressions. This seems to fix the planner's problems with
outer-level Vars in function RTEs.
