Teach bitmap path generation about transforming OR-clauses to SAOP's

When optimizer generates bitmap paths, it considers breaking OR-clause
arguments one-by-one.  But now, a group of similar OR-clauses can be
transformed into SAOP during index matching.  So, bitmap paths should
keep up.

This commit teaches bitmap paths generation machinery to group similar
OR-clauses into dedicated RestrictInfos.  Those RestrictInfos are considered
both to match index as a whole (as SAOP), or to match as a set of individual
OR-clause argument one-by-one (the old way).

Therefore, bitmap path generation will takes advantage of OR-clauses to SAOP's
transformation.  The old way of handling them is also considered.  So, there
shouldn't be planning regression.
