corner cases that could stand improvement, but it does all the basic
stuff.  A byproduct is that the selectivity routines are no longer
constrained to working on simple Vars; we might in future be able to
improve the behavior for subexpressions that don't match indexes.

/*
* Estimate hash bucketsize fraction (ie, number of entries in a bucket
* divided by total tuples in relation) if the specified Var is used
* as a hash key.
*
* XXX This is really pretty bogus since we're effectively assuming that the
* distribution of hash keys will be the same after applying restriction
* clauses as it was in the underlying relation. However, we are not nearly
* smart enough to figure out how the restrict clauses might change the
* distribution, so this will have to do for now.
*
* We are passed the number of buckets the executor will use for the given
* input relation. If the data were perfectly distributed, with the same
* number of tuples going into each available bucket, then the bucketsize
* fraction would be 1/nbuckets. But this happy state of affairs will occur
* only if (a) there are at least nbuckets distinct data values, and (b)
* we have a not-too-skewed data distribution. Otherwise the buckets will
* be nonuniformly occupied. If the other relation in the join has a key
* distribution similar to this one's, then the most-loaded buckets are
* exactly those that will be probed most often. Therefore, the "average"
* bucket size for costing purposes should really be taken as something close
* to the "worst case" bucket size. We try to estimate this by adjusting the
* fraction if there are too few distinct data values, and then scaling up
* by the ratio of the most common value's frequency to the average frequency.
*
* If no statistics are available, use a default estimate of 0.1. This will
* discourage use of a hash rather strongly if the inner relation is large,
* which is what we want. We do not want to hash unless we know that the
* inner rel is well-dispersed (or the alternatives seem much worse).
