Ensure that pg_get_ruledef()'s output matches pg_get_viewdef()'s.
Various cases involving renaming of view columns are handled by having
make_viewdef pass down the view's current relation tupledesc to
get_query_def, which then takes care to use the column names from the
tupledesc for the output column names of the SELECT. For some reason
though, we'd missed teaching make_ruledef to do similarly when it is
printing an ON SELECT rule, even though this is exactly the same case.
The results from pg_get_ruledef would then be different and arguably wrong.
In particular, this breaks pre-v10 versions of pg_dump, which in some
situations would define views by means of emitting a CREATE RULE ... ON
SELECT command. Third-party tools might not be happy either.
In passing, clean up some crufty code in make_viewdef; we'd apparently
modernized the equivalent code in make_ruledef somewhere along the way,
and missed this copy.
Per report from Gilles Darold. Back-patch to all supported versions.
