I've attached an updated patch which updates it to fix the conflicts
with the recent upper planner changes.
I also notice that some regression tests, which I think some of which
Tom updated in the upper planner changes have now changed back again
due to the slightly reduced costs on hash and nested loop joins where
the inner side is unique. I checked the costs of one of these by
disabling hash join and noticed that the final totla cost is the same,
so it's not too surprising that they keep switching plans with these
planner changes going in. I verified that these remain as is when I
comment out the cost changing code in this patch.
