 * split_pathtarget_at_srfs

 * that are not at top level, we need to split up the evaluation into multiple
 * plan levels in which each level satisfies this constraint.  This function
 * creates appropriate PathTarget(s) for each level.
 *
 * As an example, consider the tlist expression
 *		x + srf1(srf2(y + z))
 * This expression should appear as-is in the top PathTarget, but below that
 * we must have a PathTarget containing
 *		x, srf1(srf2(y + z))
 * and below that, another PathTarget containing
 *		x, srf2(y + z)
 * and below that, another PathTarget containing
 *		x, y, z
 * When these tlists are processed by setrefs.c, subexpressions that match
 * output expressions of the next lower tlist will be replaced by Vars,
 * so that what the executor gets are tlists looking like
 *		Var1 + Var2
 *		Var1, srf1(Var2)
 *		Var1, srf2(Var2 + Var3)
 *		x, y, z
 * which satisfy the desired property.
 *
 * Another example is
 *		srf1(x), srf2(srf3(y))
 * That must appear as-is in the top PathTarget, but below that we need
 *		srf1(x), srf3(y)
 * That is, each SRF must be computed at a level corresponding to the nesting
 * depth of SRFs within its arguments.
 *
 * In some cases, a SRF has already been evaluated in some previous plan level
 * and we shouldn't expand it again (that is, what we see in the target is
 * already meant as a reference to a lower subexpression).  So, don't expand
 * any tlist expressions that appear in input_target, if that's not NULL.
 *
 * It's also important that we preserve any sortgroupref annotation appearing
 * in the given target, especially on expressions matching input_target items.
 *
 * The outputs of this function are two parallel lists, one a list of
 * PathTargets and the other an integer list of bool flags indicating
 * whether the corresponding PathTarget contains any evaluatable SRFs.
 * The lists are given in the order they'd need to be evaluated in, with
 * the "lowest" PathTarget first.  So the last list entry is always the
