Log message:
    Teach planner how to propagate pathkeys from sub-SELECTs in FROM up to
    the outer query.  (The implementation is a bit klugy, but it would take
    nontrivial restructuring to make it nicer, which this is probably not
    worth.)  This avoids unnecessary sort steps in examples like
    SELECT foo,count(*) FROM (SELECT ... ORDER BY foo,bar) sub GROUP BY foo
    which means there is now a reasonable technique for controlling the
    order of inputs to custom aggregates, even in the grouping case.
