Previously, when a path type was disabled by e.g. enable_seqscan=false, we either avoided generating that path type in the first place, or more commonly, we added a large constant, called disable_cost, to the estimated startup cost of that path. This latter approach can distort planning. For instance, an extremely expensive non-disabled path could seem to be worse than a disabled path, especially if the full cost of that path node need not be paid (e.g. due to a Limit). Or, as in the regression test whose expected output changes with this commit, the addition of disable_cost can make two paths that would normally be distinguishible in cost seem to have fuzzily the same cost. To fix that, we now count the number of disabled path nodes and consider that a high-order component of both the startup cost and the total cost. Hence, the path list is now sorted by disabled_nodes and then by total_cost, instead of just by the latter, and likewise for the partial path list. It is important that this number is a count and not simply a Boolean; else, as soon as we're unable to respect disabled path types in all portions of the path, we stop trying to avoid them where we can. Because the path list is now sorted by the number of disabled nodes, the join prechecks must compute the count of disabled nodes during the initial cost phase instead of postponing it to final cost time. Counts of disabled nodes do not cross subquery levels; at present, there is no reason for them to do so, since the we do not postpone path selection across subquery boundaries (see make_subplan).
