Improve CostHashAgg with single-column NDV and spill-aware cost model
Two enhancements to CostHashAgg in CCostModelGPDB: 1. Single-column NDV optimization for local partial HashAgg: When GROUP BY has exactly 1 column, use GetNDVs() (global NDV from column statistics) instead of pci->Rows() to estimate the output row count of the local partial aggregation stage. GetNDVs() returns the global NDV directly, so no * UlHosts() scaling is needed. This lets the optimizer distinguish high-NDV cases (partial agg streams nearly as many rows as input, 2-phase has little benefit) from low-NDV cases (partial agg significantly reduces data before redistribution, 2-phase is preferred). Multi-column GROUP BY falls back to the original behavior: num_output_rows = pci->Rows() * UlHosts(). 2. Spill-aware cost model: When num_output_rows * width exceeds the spilling memory threshold (EcpHJSpillingMemThreshold, 50 MB), apply higher cost unit values to reflect disk I/O overhead. Uses the existing HJ spilling cost parameters (EcpHJFeedingTupColumnSpillingCostUnit etc.) which are already tuned for spilling scenarios. TPC-H benchmark: -14.3% overall (Q17 -60%, Q03 -6%). TPC-DS benchmark: -0.4% overall (Q59 -29%).
