Fix incorrect printing of queries with duplicated join names.

Given a query in which multiple JOIN nodes used the same alias
(which'd necessarily be in different sub-SELECTs), ruleutils.c
would assign the JOIN nodes distinct aliases for clarity ...
but then it forgot to print the modified aliases when dumping
the JOIN nodes themselves.  This results in a dump/reload hazard
for views, because the emitted query is flat-out incorrect:
Vars will be printed with table names that have no referent.

This has been wrong for a long time, so back-patch to all supported
branches.
