Tom Lane 391159e03a Partially revert commit 3d3bf62f30.
On reflection, the pre-existing logic in ANALYZE is specifically meant to
compare the frequency of a candidate MCV against the estimated frequency of
a random distinct value across the whole table.  The change to compare it
against the average frequency of values actually seen in the sample doesn't
seem very principled, and if anything it would make us less likely not more
likely to consider a value an MCV.  So revert that, but keep the aspect of
considering only nonnull values, which definitely is correct.

In passing, rename the local variables in these stanzas to
"ndistinct_table", to avoid confusion with the "ndistinct" that appears at
an outer scope in compute_scalar_stats.

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:

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