Improve planner's handling of SetOp plans.

Remove the code for inserting flag columns in the inputs of a SetOp.
That was the only reason why there would be resjunk columns in a
set-operations plan tree, so we can get rid of some code that
supported that, too.

Get rid of choose_hashed_setop() in favor of building Paths for
the hashed and sorted alternatives, and letting them fight it out
within add_path().

Remove set_operation_ordered_results_useful(), which was giving wrong
answers due to examining the wrong ancestor node: we need to examine
the immediate SetOperationStmt parent not the topmost node.  Instead
make each caller of recurse_set_operations() pass down the relevant
parent node.  (This thinko seems to have led only to wasted planning
cycles and possibly-inferior plans, not wrong query answers.  Perhaps
we should back-patch it, but I'm not doing so right now.)

Teach generate_nonunion_paths() to consider pre-sorted inputs for
sorted SetOps, rather than always generating a Sort node.

Patch by me; thanks to Richard Guo and David Rowley for review.
