Fix wrong unsafe-flag test in check_output_expressions()

The check for window functions (point 4) guarded on the wrong bit: it
tested UNSAFE_NOTIN_DISTINCTON_CLAUSE while setting
UNSAFE_NOTIN_PARTITIONBY_CLAUSE. Each check in this loop guards on
the same bit it is about to set, as an idempotency optimization, since
unsafeFlags[] is accumulated across the arms of a set operation and
there is no point recomputing a column's status once its bit is
present.

This is not a live bug. When UNSAFE_NOTIN_PARTITIONBY_CLAUSE is
already set but UNSAFE_NOTIN_DISTINCTON_CLAUSE is not, the guard fails
to skip targetIsInAllPartitionLists() and recomputes it, but setting
the same bit again changes nothing. When
UNSAFE_NOTIN_DISTINCTON_CLAUSE is already set, point 4 is skipped and
UNSAFE_NOTIN_PARTITIONBY_CLAUSE is left unset; but such a column is
already unsafe for pushdown via UNSAFE_NOTIN_DISTINCTON_CLAUSE, so the
outcome is unchanged.

To fix, test UNSAFE_NOTIN_PARTITIONBY_CLAUSE, matching the bit being
set and the pattern of the surrounding checks.

Back-patch to v15, where the buggy check was introduced.
