- Introduce "Query Plan Footprints" (abbrev. QPFs)
  QPF is a part of query plan that is 
  1. sufficient to produce EXPLAIN output,
  2. can be used to produce EXPLAIN output even after its subquery/union
     was executed and deleted
  3. is cheap to save so that we can always save query plans

- This patch doesn't fully address #2, we make/save strings for 
  a number of EXPLAIN's columns.  This will be fixed.
