Add COST and ROWS options to CREATE/ALTER FUNCTION, plus underlying pg_proc
...
columns procost and prorows, to allow simple user adjustment of the estimated
cost of a function call, as well as control of the estimated number of rows
returned by a set-returning function. We might eventually wish to extend this
to allow function-specific estimation routines, but there seems to be
consensus that we should try a simple constant estimate first. In particular
this provides a relatively simple way to control the order in which different
WHERE clauses are applied in a plan node, which is a Good Thing in view of the
fact that the recent EquivalenceClass planner rewrite made that much less
predictable than before.

Simplify pg_am representation of ordering-capable access methods:
...
provide just a boolean 'amcanorder', instead of fields that specify the
sort operator strategy numbers. We have decided to require ordering-capable

overkill (and indeed misleading about what's allowed).

f41803bb39
Refactor planner's pathkeys data structure to create a separate, explicit
...
representation of equivalence classes of variables. This is an extensive
rewrite, but it brings a number of benefits:
* planner no longer fails in the presence of "incomplete" operator families
that don't offer operators for every possible combination of datatypes.
* avoid generating and then discarding redundant equality clauses.
* remove bogus assumption that derived equalities always use operators
named "=".
* mergejoins can work with a variety of sort orders (e.g., descending) now,
instead of tying each mergejoinable operator to exactly one sort order.
* better recognition of redundant sort columns.
* can make use of equalities appearing underneath an outer join.

Implement width_bucket() for the float8 data type.
...
The implementation is somewhat ugly logic-wise, but I don't see an
easy way to make it more concise.
When writing this, I noticed that my previous implementation of
width_bucket() doesn't handle NaN correctly:
postgres=# select width_bucket('NaN', 1, 5, 5);
width_bucket
--------------
6
(1 row)
AFAICS SQL:2003 does not define a NaN value, so it doesn't address how
width_bucket() should behave here. The patch changes width_bucket() so
that ereport(ERROR) is raised if NaN is specified for the operand or the
lower or upper bounds to width_bucket(). For float8, NaN is disallowed
for any of the floating-point inputs, and +/- infinity is disallowed
for the histogram bounds (but allowed for the operand).
Update docs and regression tests, bump the catversion.
