Oh, wait ... It occurred to me that we may have this same issue with
Memoize cache keys. In get_memoize_path we collect the cache keys from
innerpath's ppi_clauses and innerrel's lateral_vars, and the latter may
contain nullingrel markers that need adjustment. As an example,
consider the query below

explain (costs off)
select * from onek t1
left join onek t2 on true
left join lateral
(select * from onek t3 where t3.two = t2.two offset 0) s
on t2.unique1 = 1;
ERROR: wrong varnullingrels (b 3) (expected (b)) for Var 2/3

Attached is a patch that does the same adjustments to innerrel's
lateral_vars before they are added to MemoizePath->param_exprs.

I was wondering if there are more places that need this kind of
adjustments. After some thoughts I believe the Memoize cache keys
should be the last one regarding adjustments to nestloop parameters.
AFAICS the lateral references in origin query would go to two places,
one is plan_params and the other is lateral_vars. And now we've handled
both of them.

Thanks
Richard
