Cleanup of rewriter and planner handling of Query.hasRowSecurity flag.

Be sure to pull up the subquery's hasRowSecurity flag when flattening a
subquery in pull_up_simple_subquery().  This isn't a bug today because
we don't look at the hasRowSecurity flag during planning, but it could
easily be a bug tomorrow.

Likewise, make rewriteRuleAction() pull up the hasRowSecurity flag when
absorbing RTEs from a rule action.  This isn't a bug either, for the
opposite reason: the flag should never be set yet.  But again, it seems
like good future proofing.

Add a comment explaining why rewriteTargetView() should *not* set
hasRowSecurity when adding stuff to securityQuals.

Improve some nearby comments about securityQuals processing, and document
that field more completely in parsenodes.h.

Patch by me, analysis by Dean Rasheed.
