Historically we've printed SubPlan expression nodes as "(SubPlan N)", which is pretty uninformative. Trying to reproduce the original SQL for the subquery is still as impractical as before, and would be mighty verbose as well. However, we can still do better than that. Displaying the "testexpr" when present, and adding a keyword to indicate the SubLinkType, goes a long way toward showing what's really going on. In addition, this patch gets rid of EXPLAIN's use of "$n" to represent subplan and initplan output Params. Instead we now print "(SubPlan N).colX" or "(InitPlan N).colX" to represent the X'th output column of that subplan. This eliminates confusion with the use of "$n" to represent PARAM_EXTERN Params, and it's useful for the first part of this change because it eliminates needing some other indication of which subplan is referenced by a SubPlan that has a testexpr. In passing, this adds simple regression test coverage of the ROWCOMPARE_SUBLINK code paths, which were entirely unburdened by testing before.
