In apply_child_basequals, after translating a parent relation's
restriction quals for a child relation, we simplify each child qual by
calling eval_const_expressions. Historically, the code then called
restriction_is_always_false and restriction_is_always_true to reduce
NullTest quals that are provably false or true.
However, since commit e2debb643, the planner natively performs
NullTest deduction during constant folding. Therefore, calling
restriction_is_always_false and restriction_is_always_true immediately
afterward is redundant and wastes CPU cycles. We can safely remove
them and simply rely on the constant folding to handle the deduction.
