Not as a back-patchable fix, but I wonder if we couldn't improve this
situation by having pathkey_is_redundant() not throw pathkeys with a
constant in their eclass away, but rather keep these around as "no-op
pathkeys".
It would make the logic in compare_pathkeys() a bit more tricky, but
maybe it could be manageable if we kept the no-op pathkeys in a
separate list, and only lookup the pathkey in that list when the
pathkeys being compared are not the same. If it's in the no-op list,
then we can skip to the next path key after the no-op one. Although
I'm not quite sure in what cases PATHKEYS_EQUAL would be returned.
