Ignore extra subquery outputs in set_subquery_size_estimates().

In commit 0f61d4d, I added code to copy up column width estimates for each column of a subquery. That code supposed that the subquery couldn't have any output columns that didn't correspond to known columns of the current query level --- which is true when a query is parsed from scratch, but the assumption fails when planning a view that depends on another view that's been redefined (adding output columns) since the upper view was made. This results in an assertion failure or even a crash, as per bug #8025 from lindebg. Remove the Assert and instead skip the column if its resno is out of the expected range.
