pgsql: Invent recursive_worktable_factor GUC to replace hard-wired cons

Invent recursive_worktable_factor GUC to replace hard-wired constant.

Up to now, the planner estimated the size of a recursive query's
worktable as 10 times the size of the non-recursive term.  It's hard
to see how to do significantly better than that automatically, but
we can give users control over the multiplier to allow tuning for
specific use-cases.  The default behavior remains the same.
