Avoid some zero-divide hazards in the planner.
Although I think on all modern machines floating division by zero results in Infinity not SIGFPE, we still don't want infinities running around in the planner's costing estimates; too much risk of that leading to insane behavior. grouping_planner() failed to consider the possibility that final_rel might be known dummy and hence have zero rowcount. (I wonder if it would be better to set a rows estimate of 1 for dummy relations? But at least in the back branches, changing this convention seems like a bad idea, so I'll leave that for another day.) Make certain that get_variable_numdistinct() produces a nonzero result. The case that can be shown to be broken is with stadistinct < 0.0 and small ntuples; we did not prevent the result from rounding to zero. For good luck I applied clamp_row_est() to all the nonconstant return values. In ExecChooseHashTableSize(), Assert that we compute positive nbuckets and nbatch. I know of no reason to think this isn't the case, but it seems like a good safety check. Per reports from Piotr Stefaniak. Back-patch to all active branches.
