For the below query

create table t1(a int, b int not null);
create table t2(like t1);
select t1.*, t2.* from t1 full join t2 on false where (t1.b < t1.b) is null;

orca generates a wrong plan:

Result  (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=0 width=16)
    One-Time Filter: false
Optimizer: Pivotal Optimizer (GPORCA)

The root cause is '(t1.b < t1.b)' is been transformed into 'CScalarConst (0)' by 'PexprEliminateSelfComparison'. The reason is that when checking if the selfcomparison can be simplified by function FSelfComparison, it checks the CColRef IsNullable only from the column definition, not checking if the column is from outer join.

To fix it, before simplifing the scalar expression, we fisrt get the 'pcrsNotNull' from its parent expression. 'pcrsNotNull' recoreds the output columns' nullable property. If the column is not in 'pcrsNotNull', then the self comparison cannot be transformed into const true or false.

Fixes #594

Issue:
    Orca tries to eliminate self comparisons at preprocessing, but this early optimization
    misleading the further expression preprocesing of LOJ. This PR tries to avoid self comparison
    check's of WHERE clause predicate when SELECT's logical child is LOJ.

NOTE:
Postgres Executor’s standard, restriction placed in the ON clause is processed before the join,
while a restriction placed in the WHERE clause is processed after the join.
That does not matter with inner joins, but it matters a lot with outer joins.

Setup:
CREATE TABLE t2(c0 int, c1 int not null);
INSERT INTO t2 values(1, 2),(3,4),(5,6),(7,8);
CREATE TABLE t3(c0 int not null, c1 int, c2 int);

SELECT t2.c1 FROM t2 LEFT OUTER JOIN t3 ON t3.c1 > t3.c2 WHERE (t3.c0=t3.c0) IS NULL;

(cherry picked from gpdb commit d3dd98c1a8daf04fbf6cb91fc4afa6f91b317e93)
'PexprEliminateSelfComparison' only uses the 'pcrsNotNull'
from the topmost expression to filter the nullable columns.
This can lead the PexprEliminateSelfComparison cannot apply
to the subquery properly.

create table t1(a int not null, b int not null);
create table t2(like t1);
create table t3(like t1);
select * from t2  left join (select  t2.a , t2.b  from t1, t2 where t1.a
	< t1.a) as t on t2. a = t.a;

the plan for it from orca is
 Gather Motion 3:1  (slice1; segments: 3)
   ->  Hash Left Join
         Hash Cond: (t2.a = t2_1.a)
         ->  Seq Scan on t2
         ->  Hash
               ->  Nested Loop
                     Join Filter: true
                     ->  Seq Scan on t2 t2_1
                     ->  Materialize
                           ->  Broadcast Motion 3:3  (slice2; segments: 3)
                                 ->  Seq Scan on t1
                                       Filter: (a < a)
the self comparison in subquery is not eliminated.

This commit is to optimize it by fetching 'pcrsNotNull' from
the current logical expression and apply them to its child
scalar expression.

Found that gpdb has a similar commit : greenplum-db/gpdb-archive@d3dd98c
Just cherry-pick it .
But it has some problems, added a commit to fix it.
