Since unique index cannot be using HASH, I think we only need to consider BTREE index here.

There is cases when a BTREE index associated with a HASH partition key, but I think we should allow them,
as long as their equality operators consider the same value as equal.
I’ve added some more test for this case.

Indeed, I think `indexing.sql` might be more apporiate. I moved these tests in my new patch.
