Move nbtree's detection of RowCompare quals that are unsatisfiable due to having a NULL in their first row element: rather than detecting these cases at the point where _bt_first builds its insertion scan key, do so earlier, during preprocessing proper. This brings the RowCompare case in line every other case involving an unsatisfiable-due-to-NULL qual. nbtree now consistently detects such unsatisfiable quals -- even when they happen to involve a key that isn't examined by _bt_first at all. Affected cases thereby avoid useless full index scans that cannot possibly return any matching rows.
