Reduce the rescan cost estimate for Materialize nodes to cpu_operator_cost per
tuple, instead of the former cpu_tuple_cost.  It is sane to charge less than
cpu_tuple_cost because Materialize never does any qual-checking or projection,
so it's got less overhead than most plan node types.  In particular, we want
to have the same charge here as is charged for readout in cost_sort.  That
avoids the problem recently exhibited by Teodor wherein the planner prefers
a useless sort over a materialize step in a context where a lot of rescanning

ArrayRef expressions that are not in the immediate context of an INSERT or
UPDATE targetlist.  Such cases never arise in stored rules, so ruleutils.c

plans derived from such statements, and now that EXPLAIN VERBOSE tries to
print targetlists, we need some way to deal with the case.

I chose to represent an assignment ArrayRef as "array[subscripts] := source",
which is fairly reasonable and doesn't omit any information.  However,
FieldStore is problematic because the planner will fold multiple assignments
to fields of the same composite column into one FieldStore, resulting in a
structure that is hard to understand at all, let alone display comprehensibly.
