Rewrite the planner's handling of materialized plan types so that there is
an explicit model of rescan costs being different from first-time costs. The costing of Material nodes in particular now has some visible relationship to the actual runtime behavior, where before it was essentially fantasy. This also fixes up a couple of places where different materialized plan types were treated differently for no very good reason (probably just oversights). A couple of the regression tests are affected, because the planner now chooses to put the other relation on the inside of a nestloop-with-materialize. So far as I can see both changes are sane, and the planner is now more consistently following the expectation that it should prefer to materialize the smaller of two relations. Per a recent discussion with Robert Haas.
