This test case turns out to depend on the assumption that a non-Var subquery output that's underneath an outer join will always get wrapped in a PlaceHolderVar. But that behavior causes performance regressions in some cases compared to what happened before v16. The next commit will avoid inserting a PHV in the same cases where pre-v16 did, and that causes get_memoized_path to not detect that a memoize plan could be used. Commit this separately, in hopes that we can restore the test after making get_memoized_path smarter. (It's failing to find memoize plans in adjacent cases where no PHV was ever inserted, so there is definitely room for improvement there.)
