Add experimental "costmult" logic. Only enabled when compiled with -DSQLITE_ENABLE_COSTMULT. (check-in: 729ece4088 user: drh tags: trunk)

Improve the performance of the ANALYZE command by taking advantage of the fact that every row of a UNIQUE index is distinct. (check-in: 3e1e79e133 user: drh tags: faster-analyze)

When running ANALYZE, it is not necessary to check the right-most key column for changes since that column will always change if none of the previous columns have. (check-in: 48f40861db user: drh tags: trunk)

** Applications are strongly discouraged from using this global variable.
** It is required to set a temporary folder on Windows Runtime (WinRT).
** But for all other platforms, it is highly recommended that applications
** neither read nor write this variable.  This global variable is a relic
** that exists for backwards compatibility of legacy applications and should
** be avoided in new projects.

** so itself, taking care to only do so after all [database connection]
** objects have been destroyed.
