Fix handling of opclauses in extended statistics

We expect opclauses to have exactly one Var and one Const, but the code
was checking the Const by calling is_pseudo_constant_clause() which is
incorrect - we need a proper constant.

Fixed by using plain IsA(x,Const) to check type of the node. We need to
do these checks in two places, so move it into a separate function that
can be called in both places.

Reported by Andreas Seltenreich, based on crash reported by sqlsmith.

Backpatch to v12, where this code was introduced.
