Subject: [PATCH] Performance fix for new anti-join code in nodeMergejoin.c:
 after finding a match in antijoin mode, we should advance to next outer tuple
 not next inner. We know we don't want to return this outer tuple, and there
 is no point in advancing over matching inner tuples now, because we'd just
 have to do it again if the next outer tuple has the same merge key.  This
 makes a noticeable difference if there are lots of duplicate keys in both
 inputs.

Similarly, after finding a match in semijoin mode, arrange to advance to
the next outer tuple after returning the current match; or immediately,
if it fails the extra quals.  The rationale is the same.  (This is a
performance bug in existing releases; perhaps worth back-patching?  The
planner tries to avoid using mergejoin with lots of duplicates, so it may
not be a big issue in practice.)

Nestloop and hash got this right to start with, but I made some cosmetic
adjustments there to make the corresponding bits of logic look more similar.
