Don't evaluate the FOR PORTION OF target under EXPLAIN

ExecInitModifyTable() evaluated ForPortionOfExpr.targetRange
unconditionally at executor start-up, with no EXEC_FLAG_EXPLAIN_ONLY
guard. This caused three problems:

- EXPLAIN (GENERIC_PLAN) failed with "no value found for parameter 1".

- Plain EXPLAIN with FOR PORTION OF (null) raised "FOR PORTION OF
  target must not be null".

- Plain EXPLAIN ran user functions appearing in the target a second
  time, beyond the one evaluation the planner already does for
  selectivity estimation.

Now we skip the evaluation and the accompanying null check in
explain-only mode.
