Reimplementation of UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT. INTERSECT/EXCEPT now meet the

SQL92 semantics, including support for ALL option.  All three can be used
in subqueries and views.  DISTINCT and ORDER BY work now in views, too.

Subselects in FROM clause, per ISO syntax: FROM (SELECT ...) [AS] alias.

(Don't forget that an alias is required.)  Views reimplemented as expanding
to subselect-in-FROM.  Grouping, aggregates, DISTINCT in views actually
work now (he says optimistically).  No UNION support in subselects/views
yet, but I have some ideas about that.  Rule-related permissions checking
moved out of rewriter and into executor.
