Tom Lane ea166f1146 Planner speedup hacking. Avoid saving useless pathkeys, so that path
comparison does not consider paths different when they differ only in
uninteresting aspects of sort order.  (We had a special case of this
consideration for indexscans already, but generalize it to apply to
ordered join paths too.)  Be stricter about what is a canonical pathkey
to allow faster pathkey comparison.  Cache canonical pathkeys and
dispersion stats for left and right sides of a RestrictInfo's clause,
to avoid repeated computation.  Total speedup will depend on number of
tables in a query, but I see about 4x speedup of planning phase for
a sample seven-table query.
