Fix "cannot handle unplanned sub-select" error that can occur when a

sub-select contains a join alias reference that expands into an expression
containing another sub-select.  Per yesterday's report from Merlin Moncure
and subsequent off-list investigation.

Back-patch to 7.4.  Older versions didn't attempt to flatten sub-selects in
ways that would trigger this problem.
