Make reduce_outer_joins() smarter about semijoins.
reduce_outer_joins() mistakenly treated a semijoin like a left join for purposes of deciding whether not-null constraints created by the join's quals could be passed down into the join's left-hand side (possibly resulting in outer-join simplification there). Actually, semijoin works like inner join for this purpose, ie, we do not need to see any rows that can't possibly satisfy the quals. Hence, two-line fix to treat semi and inner joins alike. Per observation by Andres Freund about a performance gripe from Yazan Suleiman. Back-patch to 8.4, since this oversight has been there since the current handling of semijoins was implemented.
