    Performance fix for new anti-join code in nodeMergejoin.c: after finding a · 11846111

    match in antijoin mode, we should advance to next outer tuple not next inner.
    We know we don't want to return this outer tuple, and there is no point in
    advancing over matching inner tuples now, because we'd just have to do it
    again if the next outer tuple has the same merge key.  This makes a noticeable
    difference if there are lots of duplicate keys in both inputs.
    
    Similarly, after finding a match in semijoin mode, arrange to advance to
    the next outer tuple after returning the current match; or immediately,
    if it fails the extra quals.  The rationale is the same.  (This is a
    performance bug in existing releases; perhaps worth back-patching?  The
    planner tries to avoid using mergejoin with lots of duplicates, so it may
    not be a big issue in practice.)
    
    Nestloop and hash got this right to start with, but I made some cosmetic
    adjustments there to make the corresponding bits of logic look more similar.
