David Rowley 27c6242a04 Fix possible Assert failure in cost_memoize_rescan
In cost_memoize_rescan(), when calculating the hit_ratio using the calls
and ndistinct estimations, if the value that was set in
MemoizePath.calls had not been processed through clamp_row_est(), then it
was possible that it was set to some non-integer value which could result
in ndistinct being 1 higher than calls due to estimate_num_groups()
performing clamp_row_est() on its input_rows.  This could result in
hit_ratio values slightly below 0.0, which would cause an Assert failure.

The value of MemoizePath.calls comes from the final parameter in the
create_memoize_path() function, of which we only have one true caller of.
That caller passes outer_path->rows.  All the core code I looked at
always seems to call clamp_row_est() on the Path.rows, so there might
have been no issues with any core Paths causing troubles here.  The bug
report was about a CustomPath with a non-clamped row estimated.

The misbehavior as a result of this seems to be mostly limited to the
Assert() failing.  Aside from that, it seems the Memoize costs would
just come out slightly higher than they should have, which is likely
fairly harmless.

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:

	https://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
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
