Reduce the rescan cost estimate for Materialize nodes to cpu_operator_cost per
tuple, instead of the former cpu_tuple_cost. It is sane to charge less than cpu_tuple_cost because Materialize never does any qual-checking or projection, so it's got less overhead than most plan node types. In particular, we want to have the same charge here as is charged for readout in cost_sort. That avoids the problem recently exhibited by Teodor wherein the planner prefers a useless sort over a materialize step in a context where a lot of rescanning will happen. The rescan costs should be just about the same for both node types, so make their estimates the same. Not back-patching because all of the current logic for rescan cost estimates is new in 9.0. The old handling of rescans is sufficiently not-sane that changing this in that structure is a bit pointless, and might indeed cause regressions.
