overexplain_range_table() emitted the "Unprunable RTIs" and "Result
RTIs" properties before closing the "Range Table" group. In the JSON
and YAML formats the Range Table group is rendered as an array of RTE
objects, so emitting key/value pairs inside it produced structurally
invalid output. The XML format had a related oddity, with these
elements nested inside <Range-Table> rather than appearing as its
siblings.
These fields are properties of the PlannedStmt as a whole, not of any
individual RTE, so close the Range Table group before emitting them.
They now appear as siblings of "Range Table" in the parent Query
object, which is what was intended.
Also add a test exercising FORMAT JSON with RANGE_TABLE so that any
future regression in the output structure is caught.

It added bogus whitespace at the end of a line in the documentation.
It should not have done that.
The pg_overexplain tests must SET debug_parallel_query = false,
not just RESET debug_parallel_query, or we get failures on test
machines that make debug_parallel_query = true the defualt.
There's a fair amount of information in the Plan and PlanState trees
that isn't printed by any existing EXPLAIN option. This means that,
when working on the planner, it's often necessary to rely on facilities
such as debug_print_plan, which produce excessively voluminous
output. Hence, use the new EXPLAIN extension facilities to implement
EXPLAIN (DEBUG) and EXPLAIN (RANGE_TABLE) as extensions to the core
EXPLAIN facility.
A great deal more could be done here, and the specific choices about
what to print and how are definitely arguable, but this is at least
a starting point for discussion and a jumping-off point for possible
future improvements.
