Fix self-join removal to update bare Var references in join clauses

Self-join removal failed to update Var nodes when the join clause was a
bare Var (e.g., ON t1.bool_col) rather than an expression containing
Vars.  ChangeVarNodesWalkExpression() used expression_tree_walker(),
which descends into child nodes but does not process the top-level node
itself.  When a bare Var referencing the removed relation appeared as
the clause, its varno was left unchanged, leading to "no relation entry
for relid N" errors.

Fix by calling ChangeVarNodes_walker() directly instead of
expression_tree_walker(), so the top-level node is also processed.
