Reject SELECT ... GROUP BY GROUPING SETS (()) FOR UPDATE.

This case should be disallowed, just as FOR UPDATE with a plain
GROUP BY is disallowed; FOR UPDATE only makes sense when each row
of the query result can be identified with a single table row.
However, we missed teaching CheckSelectLocking() to check
groupingSets as well as groupClause, so that it would allow
degenerate grouping sets.  That resulted in a bad plan and
a null-pointer dereference in the executor.

Looking around for other instances of the same bug, the only one
I found was in examine_simple_variable().  That'd just lead to
silly estimates, but it should be fixed too.

Per private report from Yaoguang Chen.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
