Normally, if we have a WHERE clause like "indexcol = constant", the planner will figure out that that index column can be ignored when determining whether the index has a desired sort ordering. But this failed to work for boolean index columns, because a condition like "boolcol = true" is canonicalized to just "boolcol" which does not give rise to an EquivalenceClass. Add a check to allow the same type of deduction to be made in this case too. Per a complaint from Dima Pavlov. Arguably this is a bug, but given the limited impact and the small number of complaints so far, I won't risk destabilizing plans in stable branches by back-patching.
