08d2c613a4 Part 2: expand the definition of a table to include computed tables.
This commit:

- Defines a new kind of column, distinct from the eavt columns in
  `DatomsColumn`, to model the rows projected from subqueries. These
  always name one of two things: a variable, or a variable's type tag.
  Naturally the two cases are thus `Variable` and `VariableTypeTag`.
  These are cheap to clone, given that `Variable` is an `Rc<String>`.
- Defines `Column` as a wrapper around `DatomsColumn` and
  `VariableColumn`. Everywhere we used to use `DatomsColumn` we now
  allow `Column`: particularly in constraints and projections.
- Broadens the definition of a table list in the intermediate
  "query-sql" representation to include a SQL UNION. A UNION is
  represented as a list of queries and an alias.
- Implements translation from a `ComputedTable` to the query-sql
  representation. In this commit we only project vars, not type tags.

Review comment: discuss bind_column_to_var for ValueTypeTag.
Review comment: implement From<Vec<T>> for ConsumableVec<T>.

7948788936 Part 1: define ComputedTable.
Complex `or`s are translated to SQL as a subquery -- in particular, a
subquery that's a UNION. Conceptually, that subquery is a computed
table: `all_datoms` and `datoms` yield rows of e/a/v/tx, and each
computed table yields rows of variable bindings.

The table itself is a type, `ComputedTable`. Its `Union` case contains
everything a subquery needs: a `ConjoiningClauses` and a projection
list, which together allow us to build a SQL subquery, and a list of
variables that need type code extraction. (This is discussed further in
a later commit.)

Naturally we also need a way to refer to columns in a computed table.
We model this by a new enum case in `DatomsTable`, `Computed`, which
maintains an integer value that uniquely identifies a computed table.

79ccd818f3 Pre: use ..Default approach for use_as_template and make_receptacle.
I decided this was more efficient (no temporary attributes and
mutability) and less confusing.

33fa1261b8 Pre: clone alias_counter into concretes.
This ensures that concrete CC clones don't have overlapping counts.

This allows us to share a counter between templates produced from a CC.

72977f52e4 Part 3: reinstate extracted type pruning.
When we started expanding and narrowing type sets, it became impossible
to conclusively know during pattern application whether a type was
known. We now figure that out at the end: if a variable has only a
single known type, we don't need to extract its type tag.

9e5c735460 Part 5: split cc.rs into a 'clauses' module.
mod.rs defines the module and ConjoiningClauses itself, complete with
methods to record facts and ask it questions.

pattern.rs, predicate.rs, resolve.rs, and or.rs include particular
functionality around accumulating certain kinds of patterns.

Only `or.rs` includes significant new code; the rest is just split.
