David Rowley 55b4966365 Fix misleading comment for get_cheapest_group_keys_order
The header comment for get_cheapest_group_keys_order() claimed that the
output arguments were set to a newly allocated list which may be freed by
the calling function, however, this was not always true as the function
would simply leave these arguments untouched in some cases.

This tripped me up when working on 1349d2790 as I mistakenly assumed I
could perform a list_concat with the output parameters.  That turned out
bad due to list_concat modifying the original input lists.

In passing, make it more clear that the number of distinct values is
important to reduce tiebreaks during sorts.  Also, explain what the
n_preordered parameter means.

Backpatch-through: 15, where get_cheapest_group_keys_order was introduced.

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
