About 0001:
Having overviewed it, I don't see any issues (but I'm the author), 
except grammatical ones - but I'm not a native to judge it.
Also, the sentence 'turning GROUP BY clauses  into pathkeys' is unclear 
to me. It may be better to write something like:  'building pathkeys by 
the list of grouping clauses'.

0002:
The part under USE_ASSERT_CHECKING looks good to me. But the code in 
group_keys_reorder_by_pathkeys looks suspicious: of course, we do some 
doubtful work without any possible way to reproduce, but if we envision 
some duplicated elements in the group_clauses, we should avoid usage of 
the list_concat_unique_ptr. What's more, why do you not exit from 
foreach_ptr immediately after SortGroupClause has been found? I think 
the new_group_clauses should be consistent with the new_group_pathkeys.

0003:
Looks good

0004:
I was also thinking about reintroducing the preprocess_groupclause 
because with the re-arrangement of GROUP-BY clauses according to 
incoming pathkeys, it doesn't make sense to have a user-defined order—at 
least while cost_sort doesn't differ costs for alternative column orderings.
So, I'm okay with the code. But why don't you use the same approach with 
foreach_ptr as before?
