Fix more bugs caused by adding columns to the end of a view.
If a view is defined atop another view, and then CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW is used to add columns to the lower view, then when the upper view's referencing RTE is expanded by ApplyRetrieveRule we will have a subquery RTE with fewer eref->colnames than output columns. This confuses various code that assumes those lists are always in sync, as they are in plain parser output. We have seen such problems before (cf commit d5b760e), and now I think the time has come to do what was speculated about in that commit: let's make ApplyRetrieveRule synthesize some column names to preserve the invariant that holds in parser output. Otherwise we'll be chasing this class of bugs indefinitely. Moreover, it appears from testing that this actually gives us better results in the test case d5b760e added, and likely in other corner cases that we lack coverage for. In HEAD, I replaced d5b760e's hack to make expandRTE exit early with an elog(ERROR) call, since the case is now presumably unreachable. But it seems like changing that in back branches would bring more risk than benefit, so there I just updated the comment. Per bug #17811 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches.
