Fix an incorrect check in get_memoize_path
Memoize typically marks cache entries as complete after fully scanning
the inner side of a join. However, in the case of unique joins, we
skip to the next outer tuple as soon as the first matching inner tuple
is found, leaving no opportunity to scan the inner side to completion.
To work around that, we mark cache entries as complete after fetching
the first matching inner tuple in unique joins.
This approach is only safe when all of the join's restriction clauses
are parameterized; otherwise, there is no guarantee that reading just
one tuple from the inner side is sufficient.
Currently, we check for this by verifying that the number of clauses
in ppi_clauses is no less than the number of the join's restriction
clauses. However, this check isn't entirely reliable, as ppi_clauses
includes join clauses available from all outer rels, not just the
current outer rel. This means the check could pass even if a
restriction clause isn't parameterized, as long as another join
clause, which doesn't belong to the current join, is included in
ppi_clauses.
To fix this, we explicitly check whether each restriction clause of
the current join is present in ppi_clauses.
While we're here, remove the XXX comment from the modified code, as
it's not justified; in certain cases, it's not possible to move a join
clause to the inner side.
This is arguably a bugfix, but no backpatch given the lack of field
reports.
