Undo mistaken tightening in join_is_legal().

One of the changes I made in commit 8703059c turns out not to have
been such a good idea: we still need the exception in join_is_legal() that
allows a join if both inputs already overlap the RHS of the special join
we're checking.  Otherwise we can miss valid plans, and might indeed fail
to find a plan at all, as in recent report from Andreas Seltenreich.

That code was added way back in commit c1711764, but I failed to
include a regression test case then; my bad.  Put it back with a better
explanation, and a test this time.  The logic does end up a bit different
than before though: I now believe it's appropriate to make this check
first, thereby allowing such a case whether or not we'd consider the
previous SJ(s) to commute with this one.  (Presumably, we already decided
they did; but it was confusing to have this consideration in the middle
of the code that was handling the other case.)

Back-patch to all active branches, like the previous patch.
