+ Create possible access paths for a join of two (or more) foreign tables

+ generate <code class="structname">ForeignPath</code> path(s) for the

+ (use <code class="function">create_foreign_join_path</code> to build them),

+ since there is no single relation that it represents; instead,

+ Create possible access paths for <em class="firstterm">upper relation</em> processing,

+ as aggregation, window functions, sorting, and table updates. This
+ optional function is called during query planning. Currently, it is
+ called only if all base relation(s) involved in the query belong to the
+ same FDW. This function should generate <code class="structname">ForeignPath</code>
+ path(s) for any post-scan/join processing that the FDW knows how to
+ perform remotely
+ (use <code class="function">create_foreign_upper_path</code> to build them),
+ and call <code class="function">add_path</code> to add these paths to
+ the indicated upper relation. As with <code class="function">GetForeignJoinPaths</code>,
+ it is not necessary that this function succeed in creating any paths,
