Update wording in optimizer/README for EquivalenceClasses

d69d45a5a changed how em_is_child members are stored in
EquivalenceClasses.  Children are no longer stored in the ec_members
list.  optimizer/README mentioned that most operations "should ignore
child members", but that felt a little untrue now since child members
are now stored in a separate place, they simply won't be found by the
normal means of looking (a foreach loop over ec_members), and if you don't
find them, there's technically no need to "ignore" them.

Here we tweak the wording slightly to reflect the new storage location
for child members.

simplify matching of child-relation expressions to EquivalenceClasses.
Most operations on EquivalenceClasses should ignore child members.
Most operations on EquivalenceClasses needn't look at child members.
