When creating an explicit Sort node for the outer path of a mergejoin,
we need to determine the number of presorted keys of the outer path to
decide whether explicit incremental sort can be applied. Currently,
this is done by repeatedly calling pathkeys_count_contained_in.
This patch caches the number of presorted outer pathkeys in MergePath,
allowing us to save several calls to pathkeys_count_contained_in. It
can be considered a complement to the changes in commit 828e94c9d.
