evazion bf7c721815 post queries: refactor AST #simplify method.
Refactor the `PostQuery::AST#simplify` method to split it into three
methods: `#trim` to eliminate redundant AND and OR clauses, `#simplify`
to expand deeply nested subexpressions, and `#sort` to sort the query
into alphabetical order.

This is so we can normalize queries written by users by parsing and
rewriting them, but without expanding out nested subexpressions, which
can substantially alter the way the query is written.

# frozen_string_literal: true
# A PostQuery::AST is an abstract syntax tree representing a search parsed by
# `PostQuery::Parser#parse`. It has methods for printing, manipulating, and
# simpifying ASTs returned by the parser.
#
# There are nine AST node types:
#
# * :all (representing the search that returns everything, aka the empty search)
# * :none (representing the search that returns nothing)
# * :tag (a single tag)
# * :metatag (a metatag with a name and value)
# * :wildcard (a wildcard tag, e.g. `blue_*`)
# * :and (an n-ary AND clause)
# * :or (an n-nary OR clause)
# * :not (a unary NOT clause)
# * :opt (the unary `~`, or 'optional' operator)
#
# The AST returned by the parser is normally rewritten with `#to_cnf` before
# it's used. This is for several reasons:
#
# * To replace the `~` operator with `or` clauses.
# * To remove redundant `and` and `or` nodes.
# * To transform the AST to conjunctive normal form.
# * To sort the AST into alphabetical order.
#
# @example
#
# PostQuery::AST.new(:or, [PostQuery::AST.new(:tag, "1girl"), PostQuery::AST.new(:metatag, "rating", "s")]).to_sexp
# => "(or 1girl rating:s)"
#
# PostQuery::Parser.parse("cat_girl or (cat_ears tail)").to_sexp
# => "(or (and cat_girl) (and (and cat_ears tail)))"
#
# PostQuery::Parser.parse("cat_girl or (cat_ears tail)").to_cnf.to_sexp
# => "(and (or cat_ears cat_girl) (or cat_girl tail))"
