This reverts 66c0185a3 (Allow planner to use Merge Append to efficiently implement UNION) as well as the follow-on commits d5d2205c8, 3b1a7eb28, 7487044d6. In addition to those, 07746a8ef had to be removed then re-applied in a different place, because 66c0185a3 moved the relevant code. The reason for this last-minute thrashing is that depesz found a case in which the patched code creates a completely wrong plan that silently gives incorrect query results. It's unclear what the cause is or how many cases are affected, but with beta1 wrap staring us in the face, there's no time for closer investigation. After we figure that out, we can decide whether to un-revert this for beta2 or hold it for v18.
