So re-reading this, I spotted what looks like another (pre-existing)
bug. In process_policies() there's a loop over all the policies,
collecting quals and with_check_quals, then a test at the end to use
the USING quals for the WITH CHECK quals if there were no
with_check_quals. I think we want to instead do that test inside the
loop -- i.e., for each policy, if there is no with_check_qual *for
that policy*, use it's USING qual instead.

Regards,
Dean
