pgsql: Remove the RTE_GROUP RTE if we drop the groupClause

Remove the RTE_GROUP RTE if we drop the groupClause

For an EXISTS subquery, the only thing that matters is whether it
returns zero or more than zero rows.  Therefore, we remove certain SQL
features that won't affect that, among them the GROUP BY clauses.

After we drop the groupClause, we'd better remove the RTE_GROUP RTE
and clear the hasGroupRTE flag, as they depend on the groupClause.
Failing to do so could result in a bogus RTE_GROUP entry in the parent
query, leading to an assertion failure on the hasGroupRTE flag.
