As far as I know, the only exception where the executor overwrites the
planner's decision is in nodeValuesscan.c where it turns jit off
because each VALUES will get evaluated just once, which would be a
waste of effort to JIT.
Apart from that the choice is baked in by the planner and set in
PlannedStmt.jitfFlags.
