Improve efficiency of LIKE/ILIKE code, especially for multi-byte charsets,
and most especially for UTF8. Remove unnecessary special cases for bytea
processing and single-byte charset ILIKE. a ILIKE b is now processed as
lower(a) LIKE lower(b) in all cases. The code is now considerably simpler. All
comparisons are now performed byte-wise, and the text and pattern are also
advanced byte-wise where it is safe to do so - essentially where a wildcard is
not being matched.
Andrew Dunstan, from an original patch by ITAGAKI Takahiro, with ideas from
Tom Lane and Mark Mielke.

choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
