Round rowcount estimate for a partial path to an integer.
Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Round rowcount estimate for a partial path to an integer. I'd been wondering why I was sometimes seeing fractional rowcount estimates in parallel-query situations, and this seems to be the reason. (You won't see the fractional parts in EXPLAIN, because it prints rowcounts with %.0f, but they are apparent in the debugger.) A fractional rowcount is not any saner for a partial path than any other kind of path, and it's equally likely to break cost estimation for higher paths, so apply clamp_row_est() like we do in other places.
