Expose the "*VALUES*" alias that we generate for a stand-alone VALUES list.

Expose the "*VALUES*" alias that we generate for a stand-alone VALUES list. We were trying to make that strictly an internal implementation detail, but it turns out that it's exposed anyway when dumping a view defined like CREATE VIEW test_view AS VALUES (1), (2), (3) ORDER BY 1; This comes out as CREATE VIEW ... ORDER BY "*VALUES*".column1; which fails to parse when reloading the dump. Hacking ruleutils.c to suppress the column qualification looks like it'd be a risky business, so instead promote the RTE alias to full-fledged usability. Per bug #6049 from Dylan Adams. Back-patch to all supported branches.
