Fix usage of the parse tree for estimate_num_groups() in set operations

recurse_set_operations() uses the parse tree for the group number estimation,
because of the "varno 0" hack.  At the same time 2489d76c49 made root->parse
and corresponding parent_root->simple_rte_array[]->subquery distinct copies
of the parse tree, while d3d55ce571 introduced self-join removal replacing
relid of removed relation only in one of the copies.

The present commit fixes this bug by making recurse_set_operations() call
estimate_num_groups() with the copy of the parse tree processed by self-join
removal.

In future, we may think about maintaining just one copy of the parse tree
and/or keeping removed relids as aliases.
