Fix yet another corner case in dumping rules/views with USING clauses.

ruleutils.c tries to cope with additions/deletions/renamings of columns in
tables referenced by views, by means of adding machine-generated aliases to
the printed form of a view when needed to preserve the original semantics.
A recent blog post by Marko Tiikkaja pointed out a case I'd missed though:
if one input of a join with USING is itself a join, there is nothing to
stop the user from adding a column of the same name as the USING column to
whichever side of the sub-join didn't provide the USING column.  And then
there'll be an error when the view is re-parsed, since now the sub-join
exposes two columns matching the USING specification.  We were catching a
lot of related cases, but not this one, so add some logic to cope with it.

Back-patch to 9.3, which is the first release that makes any serious
attempt to cope with such cases (cf commit 2ffa740b and follow-ons).
