When optimizer generates bitmap paths, it considers breaking OR-clause
arguments one-by-one. But now, a group of similar OR-clauses can be
transformed into SAOP during index matching. So, bitmap paths should
keep up.
This commit teaches bitmap paths generation machinery to group similar
OR-clauses into dedicated RestrictInfos. Those RestrictInfos are considered
both to match index as a whole (as SAOP), or to match as a set of individual
OR-clause argument one-by-one (the old way).
Therefore, bitmap path generation will takes advantage of OR-clauses to SAOP's
transformation. The old way of handling them is also considered. So, there
shouldn't be planning regression.
