  1. Make group_similar_or_args() reorder clause list as little as possible

  2. Allow usage of match_orclause_to_indexcol() for joins

  3. Skip not SOAP-supported indexes while transforming an OR clause into SAOP

  4. Remove the wrong assertion from match_orclause_to_indexcol()

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

  6. Transform OR-clauses to SAOP's during index matching

  7. Fix the value of or_to_any_transform_limit in postgresql.conf.sample

  8. Transform OR clauses to ANY expression

  9. MergeAttributes code deduplication

  10. SEARCH and CYCLE clauses

  11. Improve estimation of OR clauses using extended statistics.

  12. Teach btree to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr quals natively.

  13. Revise collation derivation method and expression-tree representation.

  14. Instead of trying to force WHERE clauses into CNF or DNF normal form,

you previously mentioned playing with parallel_tuple_cost and
parallel_setup_cost.
(https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/e3338e82-a28d-4631-9eec-b9c0984b32d5%40postgrespro.ru)

So I did by
`
SET parallel_setup_cost = 0;
SET parallel_tuple_cost = 0;
`

After setting these parameters, overall enable_or_transformation ON is
performance better.
sorry for the noise.
so now I didn't find any corner case where enable_or_transformation is
ON peforms worse than when it's OFF.

+typedef struct OrClauseGroupEntry
+{
+ OrClauseGroupKey key;

+ Node   *node;
+ List   *consts;
+ Oid scalar_type;
+ List   *exprs;

I found that the field `scalar_type` was never used.
