    Generate a separate upper relation for each stage of setop planning. · c596fadb

    Commit 3fc6e2d7 made setop planning
    stages return paths rather than plans, but all such paths were loosely
    associated with a single RelOptInfo, and only the final path was added
    to the RelOptInfo.  Even at the time, it was foreseen that this should
    be changed, because there is otherwise no good way for a single stage
    of setop planning to return multiple paths.  With this patch, each
    stage of set operation planning now creates a separate RelOptInfo;
    these are distinguished by using appropriate relid sets.  Note that
    this patch does nothing whatsoever about actually returning multiple
    paths for the same set operation; it just makes it possible for a
    future patch to do so.
    
    Along the way, adjust things so that create_upper_paths_hook is called
    for each of these new RelOptInfos rather than just once, since that
    might be useful to extensions using that hook.  It might be a good
    to provide an FDW API here as well, but I didn't try to do that for
    now.
    
    Patch by me, reviewed and tested by Ashutosh Bapat and Rajkumar
    Raghuwanshi.
