Can this information be part of PathTarget structure and hence part of
RelOptInfo::reltarget, so that it can be extended to join, group and
other kinds of RelOptInfo in future?

I think you want to expand this field in a more generic way.  For example:
SELECT udf(a)  FROM t WHERE  a is not null;   In current implementation, I only
knows a is not null, nothing about if udf(a) is null or not. And we can't present anything
for joinrel as well since it is just attno. 

At the same time,  looks we can't tell if UDF(A) is null  even if the UDF is strict and 
A is not null?  
 
In fact, it might be easy to do that in this patch itself.

Actually I can't think out the method:)
