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.

this code was last gone over, there wasn't really any alternative to
globals because we didn't have the PlannerInfo struct being passed all
through the planner code.  Now that we do, we can restructure things
to avoid non-reentrancy.  I'm fooling with this because otherwise I'd
have had to add another global variable for the planned compact
range table list.
