Thread: pgsql: Fix an oversight in the code that makes transitive-equality

Log Message:
-----------
Fix an oversight in the code that makes transitive-equality deductions from
outer join clauses.  Given, say,
    ... from a left join b on a.a1 = b.b1 where a.a1 = 42;
we'll deduce a clause b.b1 = 42 and then mark the original join clause
redundant (we can't remove it completely for reasons I don't feel like
squeezing into this log entry).  However the original implementation of
that wasn't bulletproof, because clause_selectivity() wouldn't honor
this_selec if given nonzero varRelid --- which in practice meant that
it worked as desired *except* when considering index scan quals.  Which
resulted in bogus underestimation of the size of the indexscan result for
an inner indexscan in an outer join, and consequently a possibly bad
choice of indexscan vs. bitmap scan.  Fix by introducing an explicit test
into clause_selectivity().  Also, to make sure we don't trigger that test
in corner cases, change the convention to be that this_selec > 1, not
this_selec = 1, means it's been marked redundant.  Per trouble report from
Scara Maccai.

Back-patch to 8.2, where the problem was introduced.
