I think it is reasonable to refuse to send WITH TIES, but I am
confused about the comments above. Do we really need to care about a)
here in add_foreign_final_paths()? If the query has WITH TIES, 1) it
must have ORDER BY as well, which determines what additional rows tie
for the last place in the result set, and 2) ORDER BY must already
have been determined to be safe to push down before we get here. So
in that case, if getting here, we can consider that WITH TIES is also
safe to push down (if the remote is v13 or later). No?

Anyway, thank you for working on this issue!
