Fix example plan in optimizer/README.

Joining three tables only takes two join nodes.  I think when I (tgl)
wrote this, I was envisioning possible additional joins; but since the
example doesn't show any fourth table, it's just confusing to write
a third join node.

@ -757,9 +757,8 @@ to create a plan like
-> Seq Scan on SmallTable1 A
NestLoop
-> Seq Scan on SmallTable2 B
NestLoop
-> Index Scan using XYIndex on LargeTable C
Index Condition: C.X = A.AID and C.Y = B.BID
-> Index Scan using XYIndex on LargeTable C
Index Condition: C.X = A.AID and C.Y = B.BID
so we should be willing to pass down A.AID through a join even though
there is no join order constraint forcing the plan to look like this.
