Hi,

While working on [1], I noticed that since we don't set the selectivity
and cost of the local_conds (i.e., fpinfo->local_conds_sel and
fpinfo->local_conds_cost) properly in add_foreign_grouping_paths and
foreign_grouping_ok, estimate_path_cost_size produces considerably
underestimated results when use_remote_estimate. I think this would
cause problems in later planning steps. So, why not add something like
this to add_foreign_grouping_paths, as done in other functions such as
postgresGetForeignJopinPaths?
