    Future-proof the recursion inside ExecShutdownNode(). · 7394c763

    The API contract for planstate_tree_walker() callbacks is that they
    take a PlanState pointer and a context pointer.  Somebody figured
    they could save a couple lines of code by ignoring that, and passing
    ExecShutdownNode itself as the walker even though it has but one
    argument.  Somewhat remarkably, we've gotten away with that so far.
    However, it seems clear that the upcoming C2x standard means to
    forbid such cases, and compilers that actively break such code
    likely won't be far behind.  So spend the extra few lines of code
    to do it honestly with a separate walker function.
    
    In HEAD, we might as well go further and remove ExecShutdownNode's
    useless return value.  I left that as-is in back branches though,
    to forestall complaints about ABI breakage.
    
    Back-patch, with the thought that this might become of practical
    importance before our stable branches are all out of service.
    It doesn't seem to be fixing any live bug on any currently known
    platform, however.
