Commit 08d2d58a2 added this assertion assuming that the retrieved_rows
estimate for a foreign relation is set to at least one row in
estimate_path_cost_size(), but the assumption isn't correct because if
the relation is a foreign table with tuples=0, the estimate would be set
to 0 in there when using local stats, and if the query's WHERE clause
has a NULL condition, the estimate could be set to 0 in there when using
remote estimates. (Note: even in the latter case the assertion could be
reachable when costing foreign final paths.) Repair.
Per bug #17713 from Robins Tharakan. This patch was already applied to
v13 or later; apply it to v12 as well where the aforementioned commit
was added. Thanks to Richard Guo for investigation.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
