Riza Suminto cc1cbb559a IMPALA-14263: Add broadcast_cost_scale_factor option
This commit enhances the distributed planner's costing model for
broadcast joins by introducing the `broadcast_cost_scale_factor` query
option. This option enables users to fine-tune the planner's decision
between broadcast and partitioned joins.

Key changes:
- The total broadcast cost is scaled by the new
  `broadcast_cost_scale_factor` query option, allowing users to favor or
  penalize broadcast joins as needed when setting query hint is not
  feasible.
- Updated the planner logic and test cases to reflect the new costing
  model and options.

This addresses scenarios where the default costing could lead to
suboptimal join distribution choices, particularly in a large-scale
cluster where the number of executors can increase broadcast cost, while
choosing a partitioned strategy can lead to data skew. Admin can set
`broadcast_cost_scale_factor` less than 1.0 to make DistributedPlanner
favor broadcast more than partitioned join (with possible downside of
higher memory usage per query and higher network transmission).

Existing query hints still take precedence over this option. Note that
this option is applied independent of `broadcast_to_partition_factor`
option (see IMPALA-10287). In MT_DOP>1 setup, it should be sufficient to
set `use_dop_for_costing=True` and tune `broadcast_to_partition_factor`
only.

Testing:
Added FE tests.
