Here is a current version of the patch, still rather experimental. Since 
the previous version, I fixed some bugs and added the possibility to 
remove a relation even when it is mentioned in target lists. I have to 
rewrite all references to the removed relation in targetlists and the 
equivalence classes, so that they point to the remaining relation. I 
change RestrictInfos in place, and update attr_needed and reltarget of 
the remaining relation. I also update equivalence members, and delete 
equivalence classes that become single-member.

I'm posting it a single file now, because all meaningful changes are in 
analyzejoins.c anyway.
