Fix ndistinct estimates with system attributes

When estimating the number of groups using extended statistics, the code
was discarding information about system attributes. This led to strange
situation that

    SELECT 1 FROM t GROUP BY ctid;

could have produced higher estimate (equal to pg_class.reltuples) than

    SELECT 1 FROM t GROUP BY a, b, ctid;

with extended statistics on (a,b). Fixed by retaining information about
the system attribute.

Backpatch all the way to 10, where extended statistics were introduced.
