Tom Lane 1ea5bdb00b Improve planner's estimates of tuple hash table sizes.
For several types of plan nodes that use TupleHashTables, the
planner estimated the expected size of the table as basically
numEntries * (MAXALIGN(dataWidth) + MAXALIGN(SizeofHeapTupleHeader)).
This is pretty far off, especially for small data widths, because
it doesn't account for the overhead of the simplehash.h hash table
nor for any per-tuple "additional space" the plan node may request.
Jeff Janes noted a case where the estimate was off by about a factor
of three, even though the obvious hazards such as inaccurate estimates
of numEntries or dataWidth didn't apply.

To improve matters, create functions provided by the relevant executor
modules that can estimate the required sizes with reasonable accuracy.
(We're still not accounting for effects like allocator padding, but
this at least gets the first-order effects correct.)

I added functions that can estimate the tuple table sizes for
nodeSetOp and nodeSubplan; these rely on an estimator for
TupleHashTables in general, and that in turn relies on one for
simplehash.h hash tables.  That feels like kind of a lot of mechanism,
but if we take any short-cuts we're violating modularity boundaries.

The other places that use TupleHashTables are nodeAgg, which took
pains to get its numbers right already, and nodeRecursiveunion.
I did not try to improve the situation for nodeRecursiveunion because
there's nothing to improve: we are not making an estimate of the hash
table size, and it wouldn't help us to do so because we have no
non-hashed alternative implementation.  On top of that, our estimate
of the number of entries to be hashed in that module is so suspect
that we'd likely often choose the wrong implementation if we did have
two ways to do it.

*
* nodeSetOp.c
* Routines to handle INTERSECT and EXCEPT selection
*
* The input of a SetOp node consists of two relations (outer and inner)
* with identical column sets. In EXCEPT queries the outer relation is
* always the left side, while in INTERSECT cases the planner tries to
* make the outer relation be the smaller of the two inputs.
*
* In SETOP_SORTED mode, each input has been sorted according to all the
* grouping columns. The SetOp node essentially performs a merge join on
* the grouping columns, except that it is only interested in counting how
* many tuples from each input match. Then it is a simple matter to emit
* the output demanded by the SQL spec for INTERSECT, INTERSECT ALL, EXCEPT,
* or EXCEPT ALL.
*
* In SETOP_HASHED mode, the inputs are delivered in no particular order.
* We read the outer relation and build a hash table in memory with one entry
* for each group of identical tuples, counting the number of tuples in the
* group. Then we read the inner relation and count the number of tuples
* matching each outer group. (We can disregard any tuples appearing only
* in the inner relation, since they cannot result in any output.) After
* seeing all the input, we scan the hashtable and generate the correct
* output using those counts.
*
* This node type is not used for UNION or UNION ALL, since those can be
* implemented more cheaply (there's no need to count the number of
* matching tuples).
*
* Note that SetOp does no qual checking nor projection. The delivered
* output tuples are just copies of the first-to-arrive tuple in each
* input group.
