Make reduce_outer_joins() smarter about semijoins.
reduce_outer_joins() mistakenly treated a semijoin like a left join for
purposes of deciding whether not-null constraints created by the join's
quals could be passed down into the join's left-hand side (possibly
resulting in outer-join simplification there). Actually, semijoin works
like inner join for this purpose, ie, we do not need to see any rows that
can't possibly satisfy the quals. Hence, two-line fix to treat semi and
inner joins alike. Per observation by Andres Freund about a performance
gripe from Yazan Suleiman.
Back-patch to 8.4, since this oversight has been there since the current
handling of semijoins was implemented.
