 * dependencies_clauselist_selectivity
 *		Return the estimated selectivity of (a subset of) the given clauses

 *		dependency statistic exists.
 *
 * 'estimatedclauses' is an input/output argument that gets a bit set
 * corresponding to the (zero-based) list index of each clause that is included
 * in the estimated selectivity.
 *
 * Given equality clauses on attributes (a,b) we find the strongest dependency
 * between them, i.e. either (a=>b) or (b=>a). Assuming (a=>b) is the selected
 * dependency, we then combine the per-clause selectivities using the formula
 *
 *	   P(a,b) = f * P(a) + (1-f) * P(a) * P(b)
 *
 * where 'f' is the degree of the dependency.  (Actually we use a slightly
 * modified version of this formula -- see clauselist_apply_dependencies()).
 *
 * With clauses on more than two attributes, the dependencies are applied
 * recursively, starting with the widest/strongest dependencies. For example
 * P(a,b,c) is first split like this:
 *
 *	   P(a,b,c) = f * P(a,b) + (1-f) * P(a,b) * P(c)

 * assuming (a,b=>c) is the strongest dependency.
