37c443eefd Fix compare_fuzzy_path_costs() to behave a bit more sanely. The original
coding would ignore startup cost differences of less than 1% of the
estimated total cost; which was OK for normal planning but highly not OK
if a very small LIMIT was applied afterwards, so that startup cost becomes
the name of the game.  Instead, compare startup and total costs fuzzily
but independently.  This changes the plan selected for two queries in the
regression tests; adjust expected-output files for resulting changes in
row order.  Per reports from Dawid Kuroczko and Sam Mason.

4e91824b94 Make some adjustments to reduce platform dependencies in plan selection.
In particular, there was a mathematical tie between the two possible
nestloop-with-materialized-inner-scan plans for a join (ie, we computed
the same cost with either input on the inside), resulting in a roundoff
error driven choice, if the relations were both small enough to fit in
sort_mem.  Add a small cost factor to ensure we prefer materializing the
smaller input.  This changes several regression test plans, but with any
luck we will now have more stability across platforms.

2f132ebff7 Okay, I'm tired of reading gripes from OS X users ... add a regression
variant file to cover OS X 10.3's bizarre minus-zero behavior.
