/*
 * flatten_join_alias_vars
 *    Replace Vars that reference JOIN outputs with references to the original
 *    relation variables instead.  This allows quals involving such vars to be
 *    pushed down.  Whole-row Vars that reference JOIN relations are expanded
 *    into RowExpr constructs that name the individual output Vars.  This
 *    is necessary since we will not scan the JOIN as a base relation, which
 *    is the only way that the executor can directly handle whole-row Vars.
 *
 * This also adjusts relid sets found in some expression node types to
 * substitute the contained base+OJ rels for any join relid.
 *
 * If a JOIN contains sub-selects that have been flattened, its join alias
 * entries might now be arbitrary expressions, not just Vars.  This affects
 * this function in two important ways.  First, we might find ourselves
 * inserting SubLink expressions into subqueries, and we must make sure that
 * their Query.hasSubLinks fields get set to true if so.  If there are any
 * SubLinks in the join alias lists, the outer Query should already have
 * hasSubLinks = true, so this is only relevant to un-flattened subqueries.
 * Second, we have to preserve any varnullingrels info attached to the
 * alias Vars we're replacing.  If the replacement expression is a Var or
 * PlaceHolderVar or constructed from those, we can just add the
 * varnullingrels bits to the existing nullingrels field(s); otherwise
 * we have to add a PlaceHolderVar wrapper.
 *
 * NOTE: this is also used by the parser, to expand join alias Vars before
 * checking GROUP BY validity.  For that use-case, root will be NULL, which
 * is why we have to pass the Query separately.  We need the root itself only
 * for making PlaceHolderVars.  We can avoid making PlaceHolderVars in the
 * parser's usage because it won't be dealing with arbitrary expressions:
 * so long as adjust_standard_join_alias_expression can handle everything
 * the parser would make as a join alias expression, we're OK.
