pgsql: Improve planning of Materialize nodes inserted atop the inner - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Log Message:
-----------
Improve planning of Materialize nodes inserted atop the inner input of a
mergejoin to shield it from doing mark/restore and refetches.  Put an explicit
flag in MergePath so we can centralize the logic that knows about this,
and add costing logic that considers using Materialize even when it's not
forced by the previously-existing considerations.  This is in response to
a discussion back in August that suggested that materializing an inner
indexscan can be helpful when the refetch percentage is high enough.
