This is very interesting. Couldn't this be even more generic and
instead of looking at just the jointree quals, also look at the join
conditions too, as I think you can use this to also transforms queries
such as:

select * from t1 inner join t2 on t1.a = t2.a or t1.b = t2.b;

I imagine you'd also want an enable_unionor GUC which can be used to
disable this for when the planner makes a poor choice.
