PFA patches. 0001 and 0002 are the same as the previous set. 0003
changes the initial hash table size to the length of ec_derives.

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Add assertion to verify derived clause has constant RHS
find_derived_clause_for_ec_member() searches for a previously-derived
clause that equates a non-constant EquivalenceMember to a constant.
It is only called for EquivalenceClasses with ec_has_const set, and
with a non-constant member as the target.
The matched clause is expected to have the non-constant member on the
left-hand side and the constant EquivalenceMember on the right.
Assert that the RHS is indeed a constant, to catch violations of this
structure and enforce assumptions made by
generate_base_implied_equalities_const().

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Make derived clause lookup in EquivalenceClass more
efficient
Previously, derived clauses were stored in ec_derives, a List of
RestrictInfos. These clauses are looked up later using the left and
right EquivalenceMembers and the clause's parent EC, typically during
join clause generation.
This lookup becomes expensive in queries with many partitions or
joins, where ec_derives may contain thousands of entries. In
particular, create_join_clause() can spend significant time scanning
this list.
To improve performance, a hash table (ec_derives_hash) is now built
when ec_derives_list exceeds 32 entries. This is the same threshold
used for join_rel_hash. To reflect this dual structure, the
ec_derives field is renamed to ec_derives_list. The list is retained
alongside the hash table to support _outEquivalenceClass() and
EquivalenceClass merging, which both operate on ec_derives_list.
Lookup logic is updated to consult the hash table when available. For
ECs with a constant EM, lookups are done using only the non-constant
EM; the constant EM is assumed to be unique and may not be available
at lookup time. In such cases, the hash table stores em2 = NULL, which
can be matched by using NULL for em2 in the lookup key.
An assertion originally placed in find_derived_clause_for_ec_member()
is moved into ec_search_derived_clause_for_ems() to enforce the same
invariant in both hash and list lookup paths.
The new ec_clear_derived_clauses() always frees ec_derives_list, even
though some of the original code paths that cleared the old ec_derives
field did not. This ensures consistent cleanup and avoids leaking
memory when the list grows large.
