82849df6c6 Add new selectivity estimation functions for pattern-matching operators
(LIKE and regexp matches).  These are not yet referenced in pg_operator,
so by default the system will continue to use eqsel/neqsel.
Also, tweak convert_to_scalar() logic so that common prefixes of strings
are stripped off, allowing better accuracy when all strings in a table
share a common prefix.
