I agree that using is_converted_whole_row_reference() is not
consistent with the other nodes that are handled by pull_var_clause().
I also agree that PVC_*_CONVERTROWTYPES doesn't reflect exactly what's
being done with those options. But using
is_converted_whole_row_reference() is the correct thing to do since we
are interested only in the whole-row references embedded in
ConvertRowtypeExpr. There can be anything encapsulated in
ConvertRowtypeExpr(), a non-shippable function for example. We don't
want to try to push that down in postgres_fdw's case. Neither in other
cases. So, it boils down to changing names of PVC_*_CONVERTROWTYPES to
something more meaningful. How about PVC_*_CONVERTWHOLEROWS?
