Tom Lane 65ce07e020 Teach optimizer's predtest.c more things about ScalarArrayOpExpr.
In particular, make it possible to prove/refute "x IS NULL" and
"x IS NOT NULL" predicates from a clause involving a ScalarArrayOpExpr
even when we are unable or unwilling to deconstruct the expression
into an AND/OR tree.  This avoids a former unexpected degradation of
plan quality when the size of an ARRAY[] expression or array constant
exceeded the arbitrary MAX_SAOP_ARRAY_SIZE limit.  For IS-NULL proofs,
we don't really care about the values of the individual array elements;
at most, we care whether there are any, and for some common cases we
needn't even know that.

The main user-visible effect of this is to let the optimizer recognize
applicability of partial indexes with "x IS NOT NULL" predicates to
queries with "x IN (array)" clauses in some cases where it previously
failed to recognize that.  The structure of predtest.c is such that a
bunch of related proofs will now also succeed, but they're probably
much less useful in the wild.
