Disallow UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT over no columns.
Since 9.4, we've allowed the syntax "select union select" and variants
of that. However, the planner wasn't expecting a no-column set operation
and ended up treating the set operation as if it were UNION ALL.
Pre-v10, there seem to be some executor issues that would need to be
fixed to support such cases, and it doesn't really seem worth expending
much effort on. Just disallow it, instead.
Per report from Victor Yegorov.
