Eliminate code duplication in replace_rte_variables callbacks

The callback functions ReplaceVarsFromTargetList_callback and
pullup_replace_vars_callback are both used to replace Vars in an
expression tree that reference a particular RTE with items from a
targetlist, and they both need to expand whole-tuple references and
deal with OLD/NEW RETURNING list Vars.  As a result, currently there
is significant code duplication between these two functions.

This patch introduces a new function, ReplaceVarFromTargetList, to
perform the replacement and calls it from both callback functions,
thereby eliminating code duplication.
