In addition to above, ResetCopyFrom() is necessary to support nested
loops which inner node is a ForeignScan.
On the other hand, I think that MarkPos()/RestrPos() wouldn't be
necessary until ForeignScan supports ordered output. ForeignScan
can't become direct child of MergeJoin because ForeignScan is not an
ordered scan, at least in current SQL/MED implementation.
