 *
 * system.c
 *    support routines for SYSTEM tablesample method
 *
 * To ensure repeatability of samples, it is necessary that selection of a
 * given tuple be history-independent; otherwise syncscanning would break
 * repeatability, to say nothing of logically-irrelevant maintenance such
 * as physical extension or shortening of the relation.
 *
 * To achieve that, we proceed by hashing each candidate block number together
 * with the active seed, and then selecting it if the hash is less than the
 * cutoff value computed from the selection probability by BeginSampleScan.
