Be more wary about constant's datatype in scalarineqsel().
The special case here for estimating conditions involving a ctid
column failed to check that the RHS constant is of type tid.
While that'd always be true for the built-in operators that
reference this selectivity estimator, a maliciously constructed
operator could provide a user-controlled Datum value that would
get interpreted as an ItemPointer pointer. That at least risks
SIGSEGV, and perhaps with a bit of sweat it could be used for
server memory disclosure.
