Repair CLUSTER failure after ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS. Turns out
there are corner cases involving dropping toasted columns in which the
previous coding would fail, too: the new version of the table might not
have any TOAST table, but we'd still propagate possibly-wide values of
dropped columns forward.

Adjust constant-folding of CASE expressions so that the simple comparison
form of CASE (eg, CASE 0 WHEN 1 THEN ...) can be constant-folded as it
was in 7.4. Also, avoid constant-folding result expressions that are
certainly unreachable --- the former coding was a bit cavalier about this
and could generate unexpected results for all-constant CASE expressions.

When dealing with multiple grouping columns coming from the same table,
clamp the estimated number of groups to table row count over 10, instead
of table row count; this reflects a heuristic that people probably won't
group over a near-unique set of columns, and the knowledge that we don't
currently have any way to estimate the correlation of the columns better
than guessing. This change creates a trivial plan change in one of the
regression tests.
