David Rowley 42473b3b31 Have the planner replace COUNT(ANY) with COUNT(*), when possible
This adds SupportRequestSimplifyAggref to allow pg_proc.prosupport
functions to receive an Aggref and allow them to determine if there is a
way that the Aggref call can be optimized.

Also added is a support function to allow transformation of COUNT(ANY)
into COUNT(*).  This is possible to do when the given "ANY" cannot be
NULL and also that there are no ORDER BY / DISTINCT clauses within the
Aggref.  This is a useful transformation to do as it is common that
people write COUNT(1), which until now has added unneeded overhead.
When counting a NOT NULL column.  The overheads can be worse as that
might mean deforming more of the tuple, which for large fact tables may
be many columns in.

It may be possible to add prosupport functions for other aggregates.  We
could consider if ORDER BY could be dropped for some calls, e.g. the
ORDER BY is quite useless in MAX(c ORDER BY c).

There is a little bit of passing fallout from adjusting
expr_is_nonnullable() to handle Const which results in a plan change in
the aggregates.out regression test.  Previously, nothing was able to
determine that "One-Time Filter: (100 IS NOT NULL)" was always true,
therefore useless to include in the plan.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------

This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree.  This does not preclude their
usefulness.

User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.

When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target.  You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.

Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types.  To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command.  In a fresh database,
you can simply do

    CREATE EXTENSION module_name;

See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
