OK.  I pushed the patch after a bit more review: we can simplify
things some more by using the subroot->parse querytree for all
tests.  After the previous refactoring, it wasn't buying us anything
to do some initial tests with the raw querytree.  (The original
idea of that, I believe, was to avoid doing find_base_rel if we
could; but now that's not helpful.)
