Tom Lane ecc27d55f4 Support boolean columns in functional-dependency statistics.
There's no good reason that the multicolumn stats stuff shouldn't work on
booleans.  But it looked only for "Var = pseudoconstant" clauses, and it
will seldom find those for boolean Vars, since earlier phases of planning
will fold "boolvar = true" or "boolvar = false" to just "boolvar" or
"NOT boolvar" respectively.  Improve dependencies_clauselist_selectivity()
to recognize such clauses as equivalent to equality restrictions.

This fixes a failure of the extended stats mechanism to apply in a case
reported by Vitaliy Garnashevich.  It's not a complete solution to his
problem because the bitmap-scan costing code isn't consulting extended
stats where it should, but that's surely an independent issue.

In passing, improve some comments, get rid of a NumRelids() test that's
redundant with the preceding bms_membership() test, and fix
dependencies_clauselist_selectivity() so that estimatedclauses actually
is a pure output argument as stated by its API contract.

Back-patch to v10 where this code 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
