c01743aa4 added EXPLAIN output to display the plan node's disabled_node
count whenever that count is above 0. Seemingly, there weren't many
people who liked that output as each parent of a disabled node would
also have a "Disabled Nodes" output due to the way disabled_nodes is
accumulated towards the root plan node. It was often hard and sometimes
impossible to figure out which nodes were disabled from looking at
EXPLAIN. You might think it would be possible to manually add up the
numbers from the "Disabled Nodes" output of a given node's children to
figure out if that node has a higher disabled_nodes count than its
children, but that wouldn't have worked for Append and Merge Append nodes
if some disabled child nodes were run-time pruned during init plan. Those
children are not displayed in EXPLAIN.
Here we attempt to improve this output by only showing "Disabled: true"
against only the nodes which are explicitly disabled themselves. That
seems to be the output that's desired by the most people who voiced
their opinion. This is done by summing up the disabled_nodes of the
given node's children and checking if that number is less than the
disabled_nodes of the current node.
This commit also fixes a bug in make_sort() which was neglecting to set
the Sort's disabled_nodes field. This should have copied what was done
in cost_sort(), but it hadn't been updated. With the new output, the
choice to not maintain that field properly was clearly wrong as the
disabled-ness of the node was attributed to the Sort's parent instead.
