Improve StarSchemaSimpleCostModel to provide better group cardinality
estimation for aggregations.
This PR revises `StarSchemaSimpleCostModel` to provide better group
cardinality estimation for aggregations. This information will be used by a
subsequent PR from Harshad to decide when to use _partitioned hash tables_.
The estimation relies on the _number of distinct values_ statistic of each
group-by attribute, which can be gathered by running `\analyze` command on the
corresponding table.
This PR does not affect the query plans for SSB queries. It changes some of
the TPC-H query plans (and a subsequent `LIPFilter` PR will bring more changes
to TPC-H query plans).
You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running:
$ git pull https://github.com/apache/incubator-quickstep

Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at:
