I'm a little worried that this will be noticeably slower when the
number of partitions is small, like 4 or 8 or 16. In other places,
we've found it necessary to support both a list-based strategy and a
hash-based strategy to avoid regressing small cases (e.g.
join_rel_list + join_rel_hash in PlannerInfo, ResourceArray in
resowner.c, etc).
