Repair crash with unsortable grouping sets.

If there were multiple grouping sets, none of them empty, all of which
were unsortable, then an oversight in consider_groupingsets_paths led
to a null pointer dereference. Fix, and add a regression test for this
case.

Per report from Dang Minh Huong, though I didn't use their patch.

Backpatch to 10.x where hashed grouping sets were added.
