 * get_mincount_for_mcv_list
 * 		Determine the minimum number of times a value needs to appear in

 *
 * We want to keep only values that appear sufficiently often in the
 * sample that it is reasonable to extrapolate their sample frequencies to
 * the entire table.  We do this by placing an upper bound on the relative
 * standard error of the sample frequency, so that any estimates the
 * planner generates from the MCV statistics can be expected to be
 * reasonably accurate.
 *
 * Since we are sampling without replacement, the sample frequency of a
 * particular value is described by a hypergeometric distribution.  A
 * common rule of thumb when estimating errors in this situation is to
 * require at least 10 instances of the value in the sample, in which case
 * the distribution can be approximated by a normal distribution, and
 * standard error analysis techniques can be applied.  Given a sample size
 * of n, a population size of N, and a sample frequency of p=cnt/n, the
 * standard error of the proportion p is given by
 *		SE = sqrt(p*(1-p)/n) * sqrt((N-n)/(N-1))
 * where the second term is the finite population correction.  To get
 * reasonably accurate planner estimates, we impose an upper bound on the
 * relative standard error of 20% -- i.e., SE/p < 0.2.  This 20% relative
 * error bound is fairly arbitrary, but has been found empirically to work
 * well.  Rearranging this formula gives a lower bound on the number of
 * instances of the value seen:
 *		cnt > n*(N-n) / (N-n+0.04*n*(N-1))
 * This bound is at most 25, and approaches 0 as n approaches 0 or N. The
 * case where n approaches 0 cannot happen in practice, since the sample
 * size is at least 300.  The case where n approaches N corresponds to
 * sampling the whole table, in which case it is reasonable to keep
 * the whole MCV list (have no lower bound), so it makes sense to apply
 * this formula for all inputs, even though the above derivation is
 * technically only valid when the right hand side is at least around 10.
 *
 * An alternative way to look at this formula is as follows -- assume that
 * the number of instances of the value seen scales up to the entire
 * table, so that the population count is K=N*cnt/n. Then the distribution
 * in the sample is a hypergeometric distribution parameterised by N, n
 * and K, and the bound above is mathematically equivalent to demanding
 * that the standard deviation of that distribution is less than 20% of
 * its mean.  Thus the relative errors in any planner estimates produced
 * from the MCV statistics are likely to be not too large.

 * MCV list items). So we deduplicate the values into arrays, and then replace
 * the values by indexes into those arrays.
 *
 * The overall structure of the serialized representation looks like this:
 *
 * +---------------+----------------+---------------------+-------+
 * | header fields | dimension info | deduplicated values | items |
 * +---------------+----------------+---------------------+-------+
 *
 * Where dimension info stores information about the type of the K-th
 * attribute (e.g. typlen, typbyval and length of deduplicated values).
 * Deduplicated values store deduplicated values for each attribute.  And
 * items store the actual MCV list items, with values replaced by indexes into
 * the arrays.
 *
 * When serializing the items, we use uint16 indexes. The number of MCV items
 * is limited by the statistics target (which is capped to 10k at the moment).
 * We might increase this to 65k and still fit into uint16, so there's a bit of
 * slack. Furthermore, this limit is on the number of distinct values per column,
 * and we usually have few of those (and various combinations of them for the
 * those MCV list). So uint16 seems fine for now.

 * histograms, as we are not doing any bucket splits (which is the source

 * mcv_combine_selectivities

 *

 * extended statistics, essentially assuming independence of columns/clauses).
 *
 * mcv_sel and mcv_basesel are sums of the frequencies and base frequencies of
 * all matching MCV items.  The difference (mcv_sel - mcv_basesel) is then
 * essentially interpreted as a correction to be added to simple_sel, as
 * described below.
 *
 * mcv_totalsel is the sum of the frequencies of all MCV items (not just the
 * matching ones).  This is used as an upper bound on the portion of the
 * selectivity estimates not covered by the MCV statistics.
 *
 * Note: While simple and base selectivities are defined in a quite similar
 * way, the values are computed differently and are not therefore equal. The
 * simple selectivity is computed as a product of per-clause estimates, while
 * the base selectivity is computed by adding up base frequencies of matching
 * items of the multi-column MCV list. So the values may differ for two main
 * reasons - (a) the MCV list may not cover 100% of the data and (b) some of
 * the MCV items did not match the estimated clauses.
 *
 * As both (a) and (b) reduce the base selectivity value, it generally holds
 * that (simple_sel >= mcv_basesel). If the MCV list covers all the data, the
 * values may be equal.
 *
 * So, other_sel = (simple_sel - mcv_basesel) is an estimate for the part not
 * covered by the MCV list, and (mcv_sel - mcv_basesel) may be seen as a
 * correction for the part covered by the MCV list. Those two statements are

 * the clause and returns both the sum of the frequencies and the sum of the

 * allowing the overall selectivity to be computed using the following
 * algorithm:
 *
 * Suppose P[n] = P(C[1] OR C[2] OR ... OR C[n]) is the combined selectivity
 * of the first n clauses in the list.  Then the combined selectivity taking
 * into account the next clause C[n+1] can be written as
 *
 *		P[n+1] = P[n] + P(C[n+1]) - P((C[1] OR ... OR C[n]) AND C[n+1])
 *
 * The final term above represents the overlap between the clauses examined so
 * far and the (n+1)'th clause.  To estimate its selectivity, we track the
 * match bitmap for the ORed list of clauses examined so far and examine its
 * intersection with the match bitmap for the (n+1)'th clause.
 *
 * We then also return the sums of the MCV item frequencies and base
 * frequencies for the match bitmap intersection corresponding to the overlap
 * term above, so that they can be combined with a simple selectivity estimate
 * for that term.
 *
 * The parameter "or_matches" is an in/out parameter tracking the match bitmap
