Fix thinko in outer-join removal.
If we have a RestrictInfo that mentions both the removal-candidate relation and the outer join's relid, then that is a pushed-down condition not a join condition, so it should be grounds for deciding that we can't remove the outer join. In commit 2489d76c4, I'd blindly included the OJ's relid into "joinrelids" as per the new standard convention, but the checks of attr_needed and ph_needed should only allow the join's input rels to be mentioned. Having done that, the check for references in pushed-down quals a few lines further down should be redundant. I left it in place as an Assert, though. While researching this I happened across a couple of comments that worried about the effects of update_placeholder_eval_levels. That's gone as of b448f1c8d, so we can remove some worry. Per bug #17769 from Robins Tharakan. The submitted test case triggers this more or less accidentally because we flatten out a LATERAL sub-select after we've done join strength reduction; if we did that in the other order, this problem would be masked because the outer join would get simplified to an inner join. To ensure that the committed test case will continue to test what it means to even if we make that happen someday, use a test clause involving COALESCE(), which will prevent us from using it to do join strength reduction. Patch by me, but thanks to Richard Guo for initial investigation. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17769-e4f7a5c9d84a80a7@postgresql.org
