Isn't it a case for a GUC disable_cost? As Thomas suggested, DBL_MAX
upper limit should be sufficient.

For example, if a table doesn't have any indexes, but enable_seqscan is off, we might put the unavoidable Seq Scan on different side of a join than we we would with enable_seqscan=on, because of the high cost estimate.

I'm afraid it is not as cheap as using diable_cost as a node cost. Are
you proposing to add a new boolean variable in Path struct to handle
those cases in compare_path_costs_fuzzily?
