    Change the planner-to-executor API so that the planner tells the executor · a191a169

    which comparison operators to use for plan nodes involving tuple comparison
    (Agg, Group, Unique, SetOp).  Formerly the executor looked up the default
    equality operator for the datatype, which was really pretty shaky, since it's
    possible that the data being fed to the node is sorted according to some
    nondefault operator class that could have an incompatible idea of equality.
    The planner knows what it has sorted by and therefore can provide the right
    equality operator to use.  Also, this change moves a couple of catalog lookups
    out of the executor and into the planner, which should help startup time for
    pre-planned queries by some small amount.  Modify the planner to remove some
    other cavalier assumptions about always being able to use the default
    operators.  Also add "nulls first/last" info to the Plan node for a mergejoin
    --- neither the executor nor the planner can cope yet, but at least the API is
    in place.
