On further review there's a really serious stumbling block here.
Consider
INSERT INTO t1 SELECT * FROM t2 UNION ALL SELECT * FROM t3
where the three tables all have the same user columns but t2 has
OIDs and t3 not (or vice versa). Without ExecContextForcesOids
or something very much like it, both scan nodes will think they
can return physical tuples. The output of the Append node will
therefore contain some tuples with OIDs and some without. Append
itself can't fix that since it doesn't project. In many queries
this would not matter --- but if we are inserting them directly
into t1 without any further filtering, it does matter.

I can imagine various ways around this, but it's not clear that
any of them are much less grotty than the code is now. In any
case this was just a marginal code cleanup idea and it doesn't
seem worth spending so much time on right now.

I'm going to go back to plan A: drop the es_result_relation_info
changes from the patch.
