Re: Pull up aggregate subquery

After more investigation I came up with third idea, pushing down
RangeTblEntry to aggregate subquery. This sounds like a crazy idea,
but it seems to me like it is slightly easier than pulling up
agg-subquery. The main point is that when you want to pull up, you
must care if the final output would be correct with other join
relations than the aggregate-related one. In contrast, when pushing
down the target relation to agg-subquery it is simple to ensure the
result.

I'm looking around pull_up_subqueries() in subquery_planner() to add
the pushing down logic. It could be possible to do it around
make_one_rel() but I bet query structure changes are doable against
Query, not PlannerInfo.

I appreciate any comments.
