eliminate_tables() operates over the JOIN structures. Logically, it
removes the right sides of outer join nests. Physically, it changes the

A module may depend on multiple values, and hence its primary attribute is
the number of its depedencies that are not bound.

The algorithm starts with equality nodes that don't have any incoming edges
(their expressions are either constant or depend only on tables that are
outside of the outer join in question) and performns a breadth-first
traversal. If we reach the outer join nest node, it means outer join is
functionally dependent and can be eliminated. Otherwise it cannot be.

DESCRIPTION
Perform table elimination in a given join list.
Perform table elimination in a given join list:
- First, walk through join list members and try doing table elimination for
them.
- Then, if the join list itself is an inner side of outer join
(on_expr!=NULL), then try to eliminate the entire join list.
See "HANDLING MULTIPLE NESTED OUTER JOINS" section at the top of this file
for more detailed description and justification.
RETURN
TRUE The entire join list eliminated
