Speedup Hash Joins with dedicated functions for ExprState hashing
Hashing of a single Var is a very common operation for ExprState to
perform. Here we add dedicated ExecJust* functions which helps speed up
Hash Joins by removing the interpretation overhead in ExecInterpExpr().
This change currently only affects Hash Joins on a single column. Hash
Joins with multiple join keys or an expression still run through
ExecInterpExpr().
Some testing has shown up to 10% query performance increases on recent AMD
hardware and nearly 7% increase on an Apple M2 for a query performing a
hash join with a large number of lookups on a small hash table.
This change was extracted from a larger patch which adjusts GROUP BY /
hashed subplans / hashed set operations to use ExprState hashing.
