Tomas Vondra 88acb01357 Fix ndistinct estimates with system attributes
When estimating the number of groups using extended statistics, the code
was discarding information about system attributes. This led to strange
situation that

    SELECT 1 FROM t GROUP BY ctid;

could have produced higher estimate (equal to pg_class.reltuples) than

    SELECT 1 FROM t GROUP BY a, b, ctid;

with extended statistics on (a,b). Fixed by retaining information about
the system attribute.

Backpatch all the way to 10, where extended statistics were introduced.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication

thread/
  A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
