Set hasSubLinks when expanding a whole-row join alias reference

If a subquery has been flattened into its parent, the joinaliasvars
entries of a join above it can be arbitrary expressions rather than
plain Vars, so expanding a reference to such a join alias may insert a
SubLink into a lower-level subquery.  flatten_join_alias_vars_mutator
detects that and sets the subquery's hasSubLinks flag, but only in the
single-column code path; the whole-row path just asserted in a comment
that its recursive call would handle this, which is true only when the
alias entry is itself a Var referencing another join.

Hence a whole-row reference to such a join appearing in a sub-select
left that sub-select's hasSubLinks false, so preprocess_expression
skipped SS_process_sublinks for it, and the unprocessed SubLink
reached code that is not prepared for one: this produced "cannot
handle unplanned sub-select" from cost_qual_eval, an assertion failure
in preprocess_aggrefs, or "unrecognized node type" at execution,
depending on where in the sub-select the SubLink ended up.

To fix, make the same check in the whole-row expansion path.
