Small cleanup to split_exclude()

Description

sql.query.split_exclude() contains this call:

query = Query(self.model)        
query.add_filter(filter_expr, can_reuse=can_reuse)

Here a new subquery is created, and the can_reuse set is a set of joins that are reusable from the outer query.

The problem is that passing the can_reuse here doesn't make any sense - the new query contains no joins so there of course isn't anything to reuse. If the .add_filter() adds something to the can_reuse set, that addition will be incorrect for the outer query. However I am not sure if it is possible to create an actual error because of this.

This also makes it slightly easier to see what happens in split_exclude().

When I got rid of can_reuse all tests pass.

Marking this RFC as I am pretty sure the patch is correct. Hopefully I will get this (and some other pending patches) committed during the weekend.
