Make _outPathInfo print the relid set of the path's parent rel.

We can't actually print the parent RelOptInfo in toto, because that would
lead to infinite recursion.  But it's safe enough to reach into the parent
and print its identifying relids, and that makes it a whole lot easier
to figure out what a Path represents.  Should have done this years ago.
