PG17 changed how scalar subquery outputs appear in EXPLAIN output (*). This commit changes impacted regress goldfiles to the PG17 format, and adds a helper function to covert pre-PG17 plans to the PG17 format. The conversion is required when testing Citus on pgversions prior to 17. The helper function can and should be removed when 17 becomes the minimum supported version.
