Richard Guo b62f514ac5 Consider collation when proving uniqueness from unique indexes
relation_has_unique_index_for() has long had an XXX noting that it
doesn't check collations when matching a unique index's columns
against equality clauses.  This was benign as long as all collations
in play reduced to the same notion of equality, but has been incorrect
since nondeterministic collations were introduced in PG 12: a unique
index under a deterministic collation does not prove uniqueness under
a nondeterministic collation, nor vice versa.

The consequence is wrong query results for any planner optimization
that consumes the faulty proof, including inner-unique join execution
(which stops the inner search after the first match per outer row),
useless-left-join removal, semijoin-to-innerjoin reduction, and
self-join elimination.

Fix by requiring the index's collation to agree on equality with the
clause's input collation.  Two collations agree on equality if either
is InvalidOid (denoting a non-collation-sensitive operation, which
cannot conflict with the other side), if they have the same OID, or if
both are deterministic: by definition a deterministic collation treats
two strings as equal iff they are byte-wise equal (see CREATE
COLLATION), so any two deterministic collations share the same
equality relation and the uniqueness proof carries over.  Any mismatch
involving a nondeterministic collation is rejected.

Back-patch to all supported branches; the bug has existed since
nondeterministic collations were introduced in PG 12.
