What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR adapts FilterSelectivityEstimator so that histogram statistics are used for range predicates with a cast.
I added many test cases to some cover corner cases. To get the ground truth, I executed queries with the predicates, see the resulting q.out file.
Why are the changes needed?
This PR allows the CBO planner to use histogram statistics for range predicates that contain a CAST around the input column.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
No
How was this patch tested?
Unit tests were added.
