We can identify in which form of identity 3 the plan is built up by
checking the relids of the B/C join's outer rel.  If it's in the first
form, the outer rel's relids must contain the A/B join.  Otherwise it
should only contain B's relid.  So I'm considering that maybe we can
adjust the nulling bitmap for nestloop parameters according to that.

Attached is a patch for that.  Does this make sense?

Thanks
Richard
