Allow pushdown of HAVING clauses with grouping sets
In some cases, we may want to transfer a HAVING clause into WHERE in
hopes of eliminating tuples before aggregation instead of after.
Previously, we couldn't do this if there were any nonempty grouping
sets, because we didn't have a way to tell if the HAVING clause
referenced any columns that were nullable by the grouping sets, and
moving such a clause into WHERE could potentially change the results.
Now, with expressions marked nullable by grouping sets with the RT
index of the RTE_GROUP RTE, it is much easier to identify those
clauses that reference any nullable-by-grouping-sets columns: we just
need to check if the RT index of the RTE_GROUP RTE is present in the
clause. For other HAVING clauses, they can be safely pushed down.
