This code doesn't know (or care) whether it's dealing with DECLARE
CURSOR. The planner picks up the information for itself --- look at
the first few lines of standard_planner().
The cursorOptions parameter to planner() is kinda vestigial now as far
as DECLARE CURSOR itself is concerned, but I left it in there since
the SPI_prepare_cursor() API exposes it, and it seemed potentially
useful for callers like plpgsql FOR-loops, which might want to impose
some chosen semantics without physically modifying a querytree.
