By the way, why not just removing entirely most_common_val_nulls from
the input arguments and rely on the values in most_common_vals to
determine which value is NULL?  It seems useless to me to have
most_common_val_nulls knowing that we are relying already on
deconstruct_array_builtin() to determine if the input values are NULL
or not.  That would also simplify the code a lot, especially in
statext_mcv_import() where we check that either the input from
most_common_val_nulls or the nulls array returned by
deconstruct_array_builtin() are NULL to decide if we should check the
input or not.  And that would remove entirely the overread issue,
reducing the input blast.  :)
