    Fix hashjoin costing mistake introduced with inner_unique optimization. · 1007b0a1
    Tom Lane authored
    In final_cost_hashjoin(), commit 9c7f5229 allowed inner_unique cases
    to follow a code path previously used only for SEMI/ANTI joins; but it
    neglected to fix an if-test within that path that assumed SEMI and ANTI
    were the only possible cases.  This resulted in a wrong value for
    hashjointuples, and an ensuing bad cost estimate, for inner_unique normal
    joins.  Fortunately, for inner_unique normal joins we can assume the number
    of joined tuples is the same as for a SEMI join; so there's no need for
    more code, we just have to invert the test to check for ANTI not SEMI.
    
    It turns out that in two contrib tests in which commit 9c7f5229
    changed the plan expected for a query, the change was actually wrong
    and induced by this estimation error, not by any real improvement.
    Hence this patch also reverts those changes.
    
    Per report from RK Korlapati.  Backpatch to v10 where the error was
    introduced.
