I poked at this a bit more, and noted that:

* ts_headline() also parses input text, and is demonstrably at least as
expensive per-input-byte as to_tsvector.

* ts_match_tt() and ts_match_tq() invoke to_tsvector internally,
and thus should certainly have as great a cost.

* tsquery_rewrite_query() actually executes a SQL query given as a string,
with cost that is uncertain, but treating it as a unit-cost function is
surely completely silly.  Since our default cost for PL-language functions
is 100, probably setting this one to 100 as well is a reasonable proposal.

So I think we should set procost for all of these functions to 100, as
per attached.  Any objections?
