It looks like what this fragment is doing is clobbering the List
substructure of the AlternativeSubPlan node itself. That's not
going to make any difference, since the whole point of the exercise
is that the AlternativeSubPlan gets cut out of the finished tree.
But the list that we want to modify, in order to save the
executor time, is the root->glob->subplans list (which ends
up being PlannedStmt.subplans). And that's global to the
query, so we can't fix it correctly on the basis of a single
AlternativeSubPlan.
