Ranked Enumeration of Join Queries with Projections

Summary: Ranked enumeration with projections for join queries; enables ORDER BY with LIMIT. Acyclic queries achieve near-linear delay after preprocessing; star queries allow preprocessing–latency tradeoff; extensible to cycles and unions; experiments show up to 1,000x speedups.
