Improve procost estimates for some text search functions.
The text search functions that involve parsing raw text into lexemes are remarkably CPU-intensive, so estimating them at the same cost as most other built-in functions seems like a mistake; moreover, doing so turns out to discourage the optimizer from using functional indexes on these functions. After some debate, we've agreed to raise procost from 1 to 100 for to_tsvector(), plainto_tsvector(), to_tsquery(), ts_headline(), ts_match_tt(), and ts_match_tq(), which are all the text search functions that parse raw text. Also increase procost for the 2-argument form of ts_rewrite() (tsquery_rewrite_query); while this function doesn't do text parsing, it does execute a user-supplied SQL query, so its previous procost of 1 is clearly a drastic underestimate. It seems reasonable to assign it the same cost we assign to PL functions by default, so 100 is the number here too. I did not bother bumping catversion for this change, since it does not break catalog compatibility with the server executable nor result in any regression test changes. Per complaint from Andrew Gierth and subsequent discussion.
