I've committed this with some mostly but not entirely cosmetic changes.
Notably, I felt that pathnode.c was a pretty questionable place to be
exporting distinctness-proof logic from, and after some reflection decided
to move those functions to analyzejoins.c; that's certainly a better place
for them than pathnode.c, and I don't see any superior third alternative.
