I've rebased your patch upthread. Did some minor beautifications.

Your patch reduces the number of rows to 1000 tuples. I found it possible to further reduce it to 100 tuples. That also allowed me to save the plan in the test case introduced by e1b7fde418.
Please check if you're OK with the patch attached.
I looked through the v2 patch and have two comments.
* The test case under "Check we don't pick aggregate path key instead of grouping path key" does not have EXPLAIN to show the plan. So how can we ensure we do not mistakenly select the aggregate pathkeys instead of the grouping pathkeys?
* I don't think the test case introduced by e1b7fde418 is still needed, because we already have one under "Utilize the ordering of merge join to avoid a full Sort operation". This kind of test case is just to ensure that we are able to utilize the ordering of the subplans underneath. So it should be parallel to the test cases for utilize the ordering of index scan and subquery scan.
See the attached v3 patch. I also made cosmetic tweaks to the comments, and simplified a test case query.
