storing mostly-redundant Query trees in prepared statements, portals, etc.
To replace Query, a new node type called PlannedStmt is inserted by the
planner at the top of a completed plan tree; this carries just the fields of
Query that are still needed at runtime.  The statement lists kept in portals
etc. now consist of intermixed PlannedStmt and bare utility-statement nodes
--- no Query.  This incidentally allows us to remove some fields from Query
and Plan nodes that shouldn't have been there in the first place.

Still to do: simplify the execution-time range table; at the moment the
range table passed to the executor still contains Query trees for subqueries.
