Fix unexpected column index error for repartitioned merge (#8201)
DESCRIPTION: Fixes a bug that causes an unexpected error when executing
repartitioned merge.

Fixes #8180.

This was happening because of a bug in
SourceResultPartitionColumnIndex(). And to fix it, this PR avoids
using DistributionColumnIndex() in SourceResultPartitionColumnIndex().
Instead, invents FindTargetListEntryWithVarExprAttno(), which finds
the index of the target entry in the source query's target list that
can be used to repartition the source for a repartitioned merge. In
short, to find the source target entry that refences the Var used in
ON (..) clause and that references the source rte, we should check the
varattno of the underlying expr, which presumably is always a Var for
repartitioned merge as we always wrap the source rte with a subquery,
where all target entries point to the columns of the original source
relation.

Using DistributionColumnIndex() prior to 13.0 wasn't causing such an
issue because prior to 13.0, the varattno of the underlying expr of
the source target entries was almost (*1) always equal to resno of the
target entry as we were including all target entries of the source
relation. However, starting with #7659, which is merged to main before
13.0, we started using CreateFilteredTargetListForRelation() instead of 
CreateAllTargetListForRelation() to compute the target entry list for
the source rte to fix another bug. So we cannot revert to using
CreateAllTargetListForRelation() because otherwise we would re-introduce
bug that it helped fixing, so we instead had to find a way to properly
deal with the "filtered target list"s, as in this commit. Plus (*1),
even before #7659, probably we would still fail when the source relation
has dropped attributes or such because that would probably also cause
such a mismatch between the varattno of the underlying expr of the
target entry and its resno.
