-----------
Skip opfamily check in eclass_matches_any_index() when the index isn't a
btree. We can't easily tell whether clauses generated from the equivalence
class could be used with such an index, so just assume that they might be.
This bit of over-optimization prevented use of non-btree indexes for nestloop
inner indexscans, in any case where the join uses an equality operator that
is also a btree operator --- which in particular is typically true for hash
indexes. Noted while trying to test the current hash index patch.
