postgres_fdw: push down FUNCTION RTE into foreign joins

A foreign join planning hook now considers a (foreign-table x function-RTE)
INNER join as a push-down candidate when the function expression is
IMMUTABLE and otherwise shippable.  The remote query absorbs the function
call as a FROM-list item (e.g. unnest(...) AS f<rti>(c1, c2, ...)), so the
foreign side returns only rows that match the function-produced set and the
join executes entirely on the remote.

An IMMUTABLE function gives the same result on any server, so the same
function RTE can be a push-down candidate for several distinct foreign
servers without semantic risk.  To keep the planner state consistent
across those independent attempts, the per-call stub fpinfo for the
function side lives on the joinrel's PgFdwRelationInfo (new
outer_func_fpinfo / inner_func_fpinfo), never on the function rel itself,
and the function side is detected via rtekind rather than fdw_private.

set_foreign_rel_properties() propagates fdwroutine onto a joinrel that
pairs a foreign rel with an RTE_FUNCTION rel so GetForeignJoinPaths gets
called; the FDW retains full control over whether to actually generate a
path.  deparseRangeTblRef and deparseColumnRef gain a FUNCTION-RTE branch
that emits the function expression and resolves Vars to the generated
column aliases.
