ruleutils.c blindly printed the user-given alias (or nothing if there
hadn't been one) for the target table of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE queries.
That works a large percentage of the time, but not always: for queries
appearing in WITH, it's possible that we chose a different alias to
avoid conflict with outer-scope names. Since the chosen alias would
be used in any Var references to the target table, this'd lead to an
inconsistent printout with consequences such as dump/restore failures.
The correct logic for printing (or not) a relation alias was embedded
in get_from_clause_item. Factor it out to a separate function so that
we don't need a jointree node to use it. (Only a limited part of that
function can be reached from these new call sites, but this seems like
the cleanest non-duplicative factorization.)
In passing, I got rid of a redundant "\d+ rules_src" step in rules.sql.
Initial report from Jonathan Katz; thanks to Vignesh C for analysis.
This has been broken for a long time, so back-patch to all supported
branches.
