Improve eqjoinsel's ndistinct clamping to work for multiple levels of join.

This patch fixes an oversight in my commit
7f3eba30c9 of 2008-10-23.  That patch
accounted for baserel restriction clauses that reduced the number of rows
coming out of a table (and hence the number of possibly-distinct values of
a join variable), but not for join restriction clauses that might have been
applied at a lower level of join.  To account for the latter, look up the
sizes of the min_lefthand and min_righthand inputs of the current join,
and clamp with those in the same way as for the base relations.

Noted while investigating a complaint from Ben Chobot, although this in
itself doesn't seem to explain his report.

Back-patch to 8.4; previous versions used different estimation methods
for which this heuristic isn't relevant.
