Here's a draft patch tackling point 1.  This gets rid of a whole lot
of parenthesization, as well as indentation, for simple UNION lists.
You can see the results in the changed regression test outputs.

There are still a few oddities in the printout format, such as the
forced space between ( and SELECT at the start of a subquery;
but changing that would require touching more than just
get_setop_query(), and I'm not too sure what else would be affected,
so I let it be.

While I was testing this I noticed that there's something thoroughly
busted about the indentation of outer JOIN constructs, too --- you
can see this in some of the regression test queries that are touched
by this patch, where the JOINs are actually outdented to the left of
their FROM clause in the unpatched output.  (They'd be outdented in
the new output, too, if negative indentation were possible...)
That seems like material for a separate patch though.

Comments?
