Commit 1811f1af9 put outer tuples with null join keys into a
tuplestore and emitted them at the end of the batch, which risks
expensive spills to disk if there are a lot of them. It's difficult
to avoid the tuplestore in a multi-batch parallel join. But in the
non-parallel and single-batch cases we can just emit such tuples
immediately, at the tiny cost of propagating the "is-null" result
flag one call level further up. This avoids a performance regression
from v18 for such cases.
