Update plannodes.h's comments about PlanRowMark.

tglsfdc · tglsfdc · commit 79c50ca57828 · 2021-06-02T11:52:35.000-04:00
The reference here to different physical column numbers in inherited UPDATE/DELETE plans is obsolete as of 86dc900; remove it. Also rework the text about inheritance cases to make it clearer.
