Clarify the 'rows' parameter in create_append_path

This is extracted from a larger patch to improve the UNION planner.
While working on that, I found myself having to check what the 'rows'
parameter is for.  It's not obvious that passing a negative number is the
way to have the rows estimate calculated and to find that out you need
to read code in create_append_path() and in cost_append().
