With pg13, constants functions from "FROM" clause are replaced. This
means that in citus side, we will see the constraints in restriction
info, instead of the function call. For example:
SELECT * FROM table1 JOIN add(3,5) sum ON (id = sum) ORDER BY id ASC;
Assuming that the function `add` returns constant, it will be evaluated
on postgres side. This means that this query will be routable because
there will be only one shard after pruning with the restrictions.
However before pg13, this would be multi shard query. And it would go
into recursive planning, the function would be evaluated on the
coordinator because it can be.
This means that with pg13, users will need to distribute the function
because when it is routable executable, it will currently also send the
function call to the worker in the query. So the function should exist
in the worker.
It could be better to replace the constant in the query tree as well so
that the query string sent to the worker has the constant value and
therefore it doesn't need the function. However I feel like users would
already have the function in workers if they have any multi shard query.
