Get rid of adjust_appendrel_attr_needed(), which has been broken ever since

we extended the appendrel mechanism to support UNION ALL optimization.  The
reason nobody noticed was that we are not actually using attr_needed data for
appendrel children; hence it seems more reasonable to rip it out than fix it.
Back-patch to 8.2 because an Assert failure is possible in corner cases.
Per examination of an example from Jim Nasby.

In HEAD, also get rid of AppendRelInfo.col_mappings, which is quite inadequate
to represent UNION ALL situations; depend entirely on translated_vars instead.
