Tom Lane b9896198cf Fix cost estimation for indexscans on expensive indexed expressions.
genericcostestimate() and friends used the cost of the entire indexqual
expressions as the charge for initial evaluation of indexscan arguments.
But of course the index column is not evaluated, only the other side
of the qual expression, so this was a bad overestimate if the index
column was an expensive expression.

To fix, refactor the logic in this area so that there's a single routine
charged with deconstructing index quals and figuring out what is the index
column and what is the comparison expression.  This is more or less free in
the case of btree indexes, since btcostestimate() was doing equivalent
deconstruction already.  It probably adds a bit of new overhead in the cases
of other index types, but not a lot.  (In the case of GIN I think I saved
something by getting rid of code that wasn't aware that the index column
associations were already available "for free".)

Per recent gripe from Jeff Janes.

Arguably this is a bug fix, but I'm hesitant to back-patch because of the
possibility of destabilizing plan choices that people may be happy with.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
