After putting some more thought I see one more problem but not sure
whether we can solve it easily. Now, if we skip generating the gather
path at top level node then our cost comparison while adding the
element to pool will not be correct as we are skipping some of the
paths (gather path). And, it's very much possible that the path1 is
cheaper than path2 without adding gather on top of it but with gather,
path2 can be cheaper. But, there is not an easy way to handle it
because without targetlist we can not calculate the cost of the
gather(which is the actual problem).
