 * statext_mcv_clauselist_selectivity
 *      Estimate clauses using the best multi-column statistics.
 *
 * Applies available extended (multi-column) statistics on a table. There may
 * be multiple applicable statistics (with respect to the clauses), in which
 * case we use greedy approach. In each round we select the best statistic on
 * a table (measured by the number of attributes extracted from the clauses
 * and covered by it), and compute the selectivity for the supplied clauses.
 * We repeat this process with the remaining clauses (if any), until none of
 * the available statistics can be used.
 *
 * One of the main challenges with using MCV lists is how to extrapolate the
 * estimate to the data not covered by the MCV list. To do that, we compute
 * not only the "MCV selectivity" (selectivities for MCV items matching the
 * supplied clauses), but also the following related selectivities:
 *
 * - simple selectivity:  Computed without extended statistics, i.e. as if the
 * columns/clauses were independent.
 *
 * - base selectivity:  Similar to simple selectivity, but is computed using
 * the extended statistic by adding up the base frequencies (that we compute
 * and store for each MCV item) of matching MCV items.
 *
 * - total selectivity: Selectivity covered by the whole MCV list.
 *
 * These are passed to mcv_combine_selectivities() which combines them to
 * produce a selectivity estimate that makes use of both per-column statistics
 * and the multi-column MCV statistics.
 *
 * 'estimatedclauses' is an input/output parameter.  We set bits for the
 * 0-based 'clauses' indexes we estimate for and also skip clause items that
 * already have a bit set.
