Fix tuple_fraction calculation in generate_orderedappend_paths()
6b94e7a6da adjusted generate_orderedappend_paths() to consider fractional
paths. However, it didn't manage to interpret the tuple_fraction value
correctly. According to the header comment of grouping_planner(), the
tuple_fraction >= 1 specifies the absolute number of expected tuples. That
number must be divided by the expected total number of tuples to get the
actual fraction.
Even though this is a bug fix, we don't backpatch it. The risks of the side
effects of plan changes on stable branches are too high.
