A RestrictInfo representing an OR clause now contains two versions of
the contained expression, one with sub-RestrictInfos and one without.
clause_selectivity() should descend to the version with sub-RestrictInfos
so that it has a chance of caching its results for the OR's sub-clauses.
Failing to do so resulted in redundant planner effort.
