Centralize fixups for mismatched nullingrels in nestloop params.
It turns out that the fixes we applied in commits bfd332b3f and 63e4f13d2 were not nearly enough to solve the problem. We'd focused narrowly on subquery RTEs with lateral references, but lateral references can occur in several other RTE kinds such as function RTEs. Putting the same hack into half a dozen code paths seems quite unattractive. Hence, revert the code changes (but not the test cases) from those commits and instead solve it centrally in identify_current_nestloop_params(), as Richard proposed originally. This is a bit annoying because it could mask erroneous nullingrels in nestloop params that are generated from non-LATERAL parameterized paths; but on balance I don't see a better way. Maybe at some future time we'll be motivated to find a more rigorous approach to nestloop params, but that's not happening for beta2.
