a few more tests revealed that passing null as the sample size
argument works, and it shouldn't.
in repeatable it gives an error if i use null as argument but it gives
a syntax error, and it should be a data exception (data exception --
invalid repeat argument in a sample clause) according to the standard

also you need to add CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS somewhere, i tried with a
big table and had to wait a long time for it to finish

"""
regression=# select count(1) from tenk1 tablesample system (null);count
-------   28
(1 row)

regression=# select count(1) from tenk1 tablesample bernoulli (null);count
-------    0
(1 row)
