Tomas Vondra 57f459cf6c Speed-up build of MCV lists with many distinct values
When building multi-column MCV lists, we compute base frequency for each
item, i.e. a product of per-column frequencies for values from the item.
As a value may be in multiple groups, the code was scanning the whole
array of groups while adding items to the MCV list.  This works fine as
long as the number of distinct groups is small, but it's easy to trigger
trigger O(N^2) behavior, especially after increasing statistics target.

This commit precomputes frequencies for values in all columns, so that
when computing the base frequency it's enough to make a simple bsearch
lookup in the array.

Backpatch to 12, where multi-column MCV lists were 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:

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
