 * flatten_join_alias_vars

 * This also adjusts relid sets found in some expression node types to

 *
 * 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
