Skip ChunkAppend if AppendPath has no children

Since postgres has optimizations for Append paths without children
we do not replace those paths with ChunkAppend. While this will
prevent ChunkAppendPaths without children during planning, in the
executor it is still possible for ChunkAppend to have no children
as run-time exclusion may remove all of them.
