Fix inline_set_returning_function() to allow multiple OUT parameters.

inline_set_returning_function failed to distinguish functions returning
generic RECORD (which require a column list in the RTE, as well as run-time
type checking) from those with multiple OUT parameters (which do not).
This prevented inlining from happening.  Per complaint from Jay Levitt.
Back-patch to 8.4 where this capability was introduced.
