Further fix dumping of views that contain just VALUES(...).
It turns out that commit e9f1c01b missed a case: we must print a VALUES clause in long format if get_query_def is given a resultDesc that would require the query's output column name(s) to be different from what the bare VALUES clause would produce. This applies in case an ALTER ... RENAME COLUMN has been done to a view that formerly could be printed in simple format, as shown in the added regression test case. It also explains bug #16119 from Dmitry Telpt, because it turns out that (unlike CREATE VIEW) CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW fails to apply any column aliases it's given to the stored ON SELECT rule. So to get them to be printed, we have to account for the resultDesc renaming. It might be worth changing the matview code so that it creates the ON SELECT rule with the correct aliases; but we'd still need these messy checks in get_simple_values_rte to handle the case of a subsequent column rename, so any such change would be just neatnik-ism not a bug fix. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16119-e64823f30a45a754@postgresql.org
