Teach planner about some cases where a restriction clause can be
propagated inside an outer join. In particular, given LEFT JOIN ON (A = B) WHERE A = constant, we cannot conclude that B = constant at the top level (B might be null instead), but we can nonetheless put a restriction B = constant into the quals for B's relation, since no inner-side rows not meeting that condition can contribute to the final result. Similarly, given FULL JOIN USING (J) WHERE J = constant, we can't directly conclude that either input J variable = constant, but it's OK to push such quals into each input rel. Per recent gripe from Kim Bisgaard. Along the way, remove 'valid_everywhere' flag from RestrictInfo, as on closer analysis it was not being used for anything, and was defined backwards anyway.
