Review Comment:
   What I would love to support is a "bring your own statistics / cost model" 
approach -- where following DataFusion's other features, it
   1.  includes a solid, though basic implementation of statistics (e.g. 
min/max and maybe distinct value counts)
   2. has APIs that help people implement fancier statistics / models if they 
wanted
   
   Some fancier models I imagine people would do are:
   1. Histograms (this is likely the first thing people would do)
   2. Multi-column sketches / samples / fancier research stuff
   
   So basically my ideal outcome would be if we knew how `StatisticsV2`  would 
allow such a thing to be implemented, and I think that will require a trait in 
some form.
   
   It could end up being another variant of `StatisticsV2`, like 
`StatisticsV2::User` or something (like we did for LogicalPlan)
