I renamed it with other two.

I added a sentence about it.

I copy-pasted expression index support from btcostestimate() as well,
and extended the regression test.

I think this function can use more polishing before committing, but I
don't know where to begin.  There are single functions for every
access method in here.  I don't like them being in there to begin
with.  selfuncs.s is quite long with all kinds of dependencies and
dependents.  I think it would be better to have the access method
selectivity estimation functions under src/access.  Maybe we should
start doing so by moving this to src/access/brin/brin_selfuncs.c.
What do you think?
