Thomas Tauber-Marshall 8c2bf9769a IMPALA-2805: Order conjuncts based on selectivity and cost
Added costs to all Exprs, which estimate the relative cost of evaluating
an expression and all of its children. Costs are calculated during
analysis. For now, these costs are intended as a simple way to order
expressions from cheap to expensive, not necessarily to be a precise
reflection of running times.

In general, expressions that deal with variable length types like strings
will have higher cost than those dealing with fixed length types
like numbers and booleans. Additionally, expressions with complicated
subexpressions will have higher cost than simpler expressions.

Also added PlanNode.orderConjunctsByCost, which takes a list of Exprs and
returns a new list sorted according to an estimate of the cheapest order to
evaulate the conjuncts in, based on their cost and selectivity.

The conjuncts are sorted by repeatedly iterating over them and choosing the
conjunct that would result in the least total estimated work were it to be
applied before the remaining conjuncts. Selectivities are exponentially
backed off, and Exprs without selectivity estimates are given a reasonable
default.
