Clean up handling of dropped columns in NAMEDTUPLESTORE RTEs.

The NAMEDTUPLESTORE patch piggybacked on the infrastructure for
TABLEFUNC/VALUES/CTE RTEs, none of which can ever have dropped columns,
so the possibility was ignored most places.  Fix that, including adding a
specification to parsenodes.h about what it's supposed to look like.

In passing, clean up assorted comments that hadn't been maintained
properly by said patch.

Per bug #14799 from Philippe Beaudoin.  Back-patch to v10.
