When a nested set operation's output type doesn't match the parent's
expected type, recurse_set_operations builds a projection target list
using generate_setop_tlist with varno 0. If the required type
coercion involves an ArrayCoerceExpr, estimate_array_length could be
called on such a Var, and would pass it to examine_variable, which
errors in find_base_rel because varno 0 has no valid relation entry.
Fix by skipping the statistics lookup for Vars with varno 0.
Bug introduced by commit 9391f7152. Back-patch to v17, where
estimate_array_length was taught to use statistics.
