Put back code in nodeAgg to generate a dummy all-nulls input tuple

before calling execProject, when the outerPlan has returned zero tuples.
I took this out under the mistaken impression that the input tuple
couldn't be referenced by execProject if we weren't in GROUP BY mode.
But it can, if we're in an UPDATE or DELETE...
