Traditionally we used the same Var struct to represent the value of a table column everywhere in parse and plan trees. This choice predates our support for SQL outer joins, and it's really a pretty bad idea with outer joins, because the Var's value can depend on where it is in the tree: it might go to NULL above an outer join. So expression nodes that are equal() per equalfuncs.c might not represent the same value, which is a huge correctness hazard for the planner. To improve this, decorate Var nodes with a bitmapset showing which outer joins (identified by RTE indexes) may have nulled them at the point in the parse tree where the Var appears. This allows us to trust that equal() Vars represent the same value. A certain amount of klugery is still needed to cope with cases where we re-order two outer joins, but it's possible to make it work without sacrificing that core principle. PlaceHolderVars receive similar decoration for the same reason. In the planner, we include these outer join bitmapsets into the relids that an expression is considered to depend on, and in consequence also add outer-join relids to the relids of join RelOptInfos. This allows us to correctly perceive whether an expression can be calculated above or below a particular outer join. This change affects FDWs that want to plan foreign joins. They *must* follow suit when labeling foreign joins in order to match with the core planner, but for many purposes (if postgres_fdw is any guide) they'd prefer to consider only base relations within the join. To support both requirements, redefine ForeignScan.fs_relids as base+OJ relids, and add a new field fs_base_relids that's set up by the core planner. Large though it is, this commit just does the minimum necessary to install the new mechanisms and get check-world passing again. Follow-up patches will perform some cleanup. (The README additions and comments mention some stuff that will appear in the follow-up.) Patch by me; thanks to Richard Guo for review.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
