Tom Lane ad476170e9 Improve performance of fmgr.c calling routines for cases with more than
two arguments.  Per suggestions from A. Ogawa.

Tom Lane fffb5819ca Adjust constant-folding of CASE expressions so that the simple comparison
form of CASE (eg, CASE 0 WHEN 1 THEN ...) can be constant-folded as it
was in 7.4.  Also, avoid constant-folding result expressions that are
certainly unreachable --- the former coding was a bit cavalier about this
and could generate unexpected results for all-constant CASE expressions.
Add regression test cases.  Per report from Vlad Marchenko.

Tom Lane a3f945a1b2 Adjust estimate_num_groups() to not clamp per-relation group count
estimate to less than the number of values estimated for any one grouping
Var, as suggested by Manfred.  This is intuitively right, and what's
more it puts the plan choices in the subselect regression test back the
way they were before ...

Tom Lane 2a8874841d Adjust plpgsql to allow assignment to an element of an array that is
initially NULL.  For 8.0 we changed the main executor to have this
behavior in an UPDATE of an array column, but plpgsql's equivalent case
was overlooked.  Per report from Sven Willenberger.
