Add a GetForeignUpperPaths callback function for FDWs.
This is basically like the just-added create_upper_paths_hook, but
control is funneled only to the FDW responsible for all the baserels
of the current query; so providing such a callback is much less likely
to add useless overhead than using the hook function is.
The documentation is a bit sketchy. We'll likely want to improve it,
and/or adjust the call conventions, when we get some experience with
actually using this callback. Hopefully somebody will find time to
experiment with it before 9.6 feature freeze.
