Robert Haas ccd8f97922 postgres_fdw: Consider requesting sorted data so we can do a merge join.
When use_remote_estimate is enabled, consider adding ORDER BY to the
query we sending to the remote server so that we can use that ordered
data for a merge join.  Commit f18c944b61
arranges to push down the query pathkeys, which seems like the case
mostly likely to be a win, but testing shows this can sometimes win,
too.

For a regular table, we know which indexes are present and therefore
test whether the ordering provided by each such index is useful.  Here,
we take the opposite approach: guess what orderings would be useful if
they could be generated cheaply, and then ask the remote side what those
will cost.
