Allow FDWs and custom scan providers to replace joins with scans.
Foreign data wrappers can use this capability for so-called "join pushdown"; that is, instead of executing two separate foreign scans and then joining the results locally, they can generate a path which performs the join on the remote server and then is scanned locally. This commit does not extend postgres_fdw to take advantage of this capability; it just provides the infrastructure. Custom scan providers can use this in a similar way. Previously, it was only possible for a custom scan provider to scan a single relation. Now, it can scan an entire join tree, provided of course that it knows how to produce the same results that the join would have produced if executed normally. KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by Shigeru Hanada, Ashutosh Bapat, and me.
