Fix LIKE/regex optimization for indexscan with exact-match pattern.

Commit 85b7efa1c introduced support for LIKE with non-deterministic
collations.  By moving some conditionals around, it accidentally broke
the optimization for converting a LIKE or regex exact-match pattern
to an equality indexqual when the index collation doesn't match the
expression collation.  That should be allowed if the expression
collation is deterministic.  This patch re-introduces the optimization
for that common case.

One important beneficiary of this optimization is the "\d tablename"
command in psql.  Without this fix that will do a seqscan on pg_class
instead of an index point lookup.
