Alexander Korotkov e0b1ee17dc Skip checking of scan keys required for directional scan in B-tree
Currently, B-tree code matches every scan key to every item on the page.
Imagine the ordered B-tree scan for the query like this.

SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE col > 'a' AND col < 'b' ORDER BY col;

The (col > 'a') scan key will be always matched once we find the location to
start the scan.  The (col < 'b') scan key will match every item on the page
as long as it matches the last item on the page.

This patch implements prechecking of the scan keys required for directional
scan on beginning of page scan.  If precheck is successful we can skip this
scan keys check for the items on the page.  That could lead to significant
acceleration especially if the comparison operator is expensive.

Idea from patch by Konstantin Knizhnik.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
