The use of non-aliased column names (eg 'post_date' instead of 'wp_posts.post_date')
in WP_Date_Query causes SQL notices and other failures when queries involve
table joins, such as date_query combined with tax_query or meta_query. This
changeset modifies WP_Date_Query::validate_column() to add the table alias when
it can be detected from the column name (ie, in the case of core columns).
A side effect of this change is that it is now possible to use WP_Date_Query
to build WHERE clauses across multiple tables, though there is currently no
core support for the automatic generation of the necessary JOIN clauses. See
