Update example of partially constraining join order to use a subselect

in FROM instead of an auxiliary view.  We didn't have subselect-in-FROM
when I wrote this originally...

    might not want to constrain the planner's search for a good ordering
    of inner joins inside an outer join.  You can't do that directly in the
    JOIN syntax, but you can get around the syntactic limitation by using

    Here, joining D must be the last step in the query plan, but the
    planner is free to consider various join orders for A,B,C.
