* attdisbursion is the disbursion statistic of the column (0.0 to 1.0),
* or zero if the statistic has not been calculated, or -1.0
* if VACUUM found that the column contains no duplicate entries
* (in which case the disbursion should be taken as 1.0/numberOfRows
* for the current table size). The -1.0 hack is useful because the
* number of rows may be updated more often than attdisbursion is.
* We assume that the column will retain its no-duplicate-entry
* property. (Perhaps this should be driven off the existence of a
* UNIQUE index for the column, instead of being a statistical guess?)
