Prevent auto_explain from changing the output of a user's EXPLAIN. Commit af7914c6627bcf0b0ca614e9ce95d3f8056602bf, which introduced the EXPLAIN (TIMING) option, for some reason coded explain.c to look at planstate->instrument->need_timer rather than es->timing to decide whether to print timing info. However, the former flag might get set as a result of contrib/auto_explain wanting timing information. We certainly don't want activation of auto_explain to change user-visible statement behavior, so fix that. Also fix an independent bug introduced in the same patch: in the code path for a never-executed node with a machine-friendly output format, if timing was selected, it would fail to print the Actual Rows and Actual Loops items. Per bug #10404 from Tomonari Katsumata. Back-patch to 9.2 where the faulty code was introduced.
