Fix plan created for inherited UPDATE/DELETE with all tables excluded.

Fix plan created for inherited UPDATE/DELETE with all tables excluded. In the case where inheritance_planner() finds that every table has been excluded by constraints, it thought it could get away with making a plan consisting of just a dummy Result node. While certainly there's no updating or deleting to be done, this had two user-visible problems: the plan did not report the correct set of output columns when a RETURNING clause was present, and if there were any statement-level triggers that should be fired, it didn't fire them. Hence, rather than only generating the dummy Result, we need to stick a valid ModifyTable node on top, which requires a tad more effort here. It's been broken this way for as long as inheritance_planner() has known about deleting excluded subplans at all (cf commit 635d42e9c), so back-patch to all supported branches. Amit Langote and Tom Lane, per a report from Petr Fedorov. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/5da6f0f0-1364-1876-6978-907678f89a3e@phystech.edu
