Ok, we've to decide if we need "standard" histogram. In some cases it can

But I think it is not so important. So, we can replace "standard" histogram

Yeah, I think that makes more sense. The lower bound histogram is still useful for < and > operators, just not as accurate if there are lots of values with the same lower bound but different upper bound.
New version of patch.
* Collect new stakind STATISTIC_KIND_BOUNDS_HISTOGRAM, which is lower and upper bounds histograms combined into single ranges array, instead of STATISTIC_KIND_HISTOGRAM.
* Selectivity estimations for >, >=, <, <=, <<, >>, &<, &> using this histogram.
