Be more paranoid in ruleutils.c's get_variable().
We were merely Assert'ing that the Var matched the RTE it's supposedly from. But if the user passes incorrect information to pg_get_expr(), the RTE might in fact not match; this led either to Assert failures or core dumps, as reported by Chris Hanks in bug #14220. To fix, just convert the Asserts to test-and-elog. Adjust an existing test-and-elog elsewhere in the same function to be consistent in wording. (If we really felt these were user-facing errors, we might promote them to ereport's; but I can't convince myself that they're worth translating.) Back-patch to 9.3; the problematic code doesn't exist before that, and a quick check says that 9.2 doesn't crash on such cases.
