/**
  Access paths are a query planning structure that correspond 1:1 to iterators,
  in that an access path contains pretty much exactly the information
  needed to instantiate given iterator, plus some information that is only
  needed during planning, such as costs. (The new join optimizer will extend
  this somewhat in the future. Some iterators also need the query block,
  ie., JOIN object, they are part of, but that is implicitly available when
  constructing the tree.)
 
  AccessPath objects build on a variant, ie., they can hold an access path of
  any type (table scan, filter, hash join, sort, etc.), although only one at the
  same time. Currently, they contain 32 bytes of base information that is common
  to any access path (type identifier, costs, etc.), and then up to 40 bytes
  that is type-specific (e.g. for a table scan, the TABLE object). It would be
  nice if we could squeeze it down to 64 and fit a cache line exactly, but it
  does not seem to be easy without fairly large contortions.
 
  We could have solved this by inheritance, but the fixed-size design makes it
  possible to replace an access path when a better one is found, without
  introducing a new allocation, which will be important when using them as a
  planning structure.

/**
  Modifies "path" and the paths below it so that they provide row IDs for
  all tables.
 
  This also figures out how the row IDs should be retrieved for each table in
  the input to the path. If the handler of the table is positioned on the
  correct row while reading the input, handler::position() can be called to get
  the row ID from the handler. However, if the input iterator returns rows
  without keeping the position of the underlying handlers in sync, calling
  handler::position() will not be able to provide the row IDs. Specifically,
  hash join and BKA join do not keep the underlying handlers positioned on the
  right row. Therefore, this function will instruct every hash join or BKA join
  below "path" to maintain row IDs in the join buffer, and updating handler::ref
  in every input table for each row they return. Then "path" does not need to
  call handler::position() to get it (nor should it, since calling it would
  overwrite the correct row ID with a stale one).
 
  The tables on which "path" should call handler::position() are stored in a
  `tables_to_get_rowid_for` bitset in "path". For all the other tables, it can
  assume that handler::ref already contains the correct row ID.
