IN clauses appearing at top level of WHERE can now be handled as joins.
There are two implementation techniques: the executor understands a new JOIN_IN jointype, which emits at most one matching row per left-hand row, or the result of the IN's sub-select can be fed through a DISTINCT filter and then joined as an ordinary relation. Along the way, some minor code cleanup in the optimizer; notably, break out most of the jointree-rearrangement preprocessing in planner.c and put it in a new file prep/prepjointree.c.
