Here's v2 of the patch with some added regression tests.

I did this by writing a plpgsql function named explain_mask_costs()
which has various boolean parameters to mask out the various portions
of the costs. I wondered if this function should live somewhere else
as it seems applicable to more than just misc_functions.sql.  Maybe
test_setup.sql. I'll leave where it is for now unless anyone thinks
differently.

This is a fairly simple and seemingly non-controversial patch. I plan
to push it in the next few days unless there's some feedback before
then.
