For gist and sp-gist, a descent cost is taken into account, by estimating the
tree height so that particular effect is mitigated. Whether the cpu cost
estimation is sensible regarding to btree is another topic, but at least the
index cost doesn't vanish when inside a loop.

Hash, brin and bloom are quite different, so maybe another examination would be
required but probably outside the scope of this bug report.
