Partially undo commit 94da732.

tglsfdc · tglsfdc · commit 6303df08f0c4 · 2022-08-05T15:57:46.000-04:00
On closer inspection, mcv.c isn't as broken for ScalarArrayOpExpr
as I thought.  The Var-on-right issue is real enough, but actually
it does cope fine with a NULL array constant --- I was misled by
an XXX comment suggesting it didn't.  Undo that part of the code
change, and replace the XXX comment with something less misleading.
