Add SupportRequestInlineInFrom planner support request.
This request allows a support function to replace a function call
appearing in FROM (typically a set-returning function) with an
equivalent SELECT subquery. The subquery will then be subject
to the planner's usual optimizations, potentially allowing a much
better plan to be generated. While the planner has long done this
automatically for simple SQL-language functions, it's now possible
for extensions to do it for functions outside that group.
Notably, this could be useful for functions that are presently
implemented in PL/pgSQL and work by generating and then EXECUTE'ing
a SQL query.
