0452b461bc made optimizer explore alternative orderings of group-by pathkeys. It eliminated preprocess_groupclause(), which was intended to match items between GROUP BY and ORDER BY. Instead, get_useful_group_keys_orderings() function generates orderings of GROUP BY elements at the time of grouping paths generation. The get_useful_group_keys_orderings() function takes into account 3 orderings of GROUP BY pathkeys and clauses: original order as written in GROUP BY, matching ORDER BY clauses as much as possible, and matching the input path as much as possible. Given that even before 0452b461b, preprocess_groupclause() could change the original order of GROUP BY clauses we don't need to consider it apart from ordering matching ORDER BY clauses. This commit restores preprocess_groupclause() to provide an ordering of GROUP BY elements matching ORDER BY before generation of paths. The new version of preprocess_groupclause() takes into account an incremental sort. The get_useful_group_keys_orderings() function now takes into 2 orderings of GROUP BY elements: the order generated preprocess_groupclause() and the order matching the input path as much as possible.
