Fix example plan in optimizer/README.
Joining three tables only takes two join nodes. I think when I (tgl) wrote this, I was envisioning possible additional joins; but since the example doesn't show any fourth table, it's just confusing to write a third join node.

so we should be willing to pass down A.AID through a join even though
there is no join order constraint forcing the plan to look like this.
