drh e46ec734c7 Modify the generate_series() table-valued functions so that its first
argument (the START value) is required.  Throw an error if that argument
is not supplied.  In this was the series.c loadable extension can be used
as a demonstration of how to code an xBestIndex function to require certain
parameters.  Compile with -DZERO_ARGUMENT_GENERATE_SERIES to obtain the
legacy behavior.

*************************************************************************
**
** This file demonstrates how to create a table-valued-function using
** a virtual table. This demo implements the generate_series() function
** which gives similar results to the eponymous function in PostgreSQL.
** Examples:
**
** SELECT * FROM generate_series(0,100,5);
**
** The query above returns integers from 0 through 100 counting by steps
** of 5.
**
** SELECT * FROM generate_series(0,100);
**
** Integers from 0 through 100 with a step size of 1.
**
** SELECT * FROM generate_series(20) LIMIT 10;
**
** Integers 20 through 29.
**
** HOW IT WORKS
**
** The generate_series "function" is really a virtual table with the
** following schema:
**
** CREATE TABLE generate_series(
** value,
** start HIDDEN,
** stop HIDDEN,
** step HIDDEN
** );
**
** Function arguments in queries against this virtual table are translated
** into equality constraints against successive hidden columns. In other
** words, the following pairs of queries are equivalent to each other:
**
** SELECT * FROM generate_series(0,100,5);
** SELECT * FROM generate_series WHERE start=0 AND stop=100 AND step=5;
**
** SELECT * FROM generate_series(0,100);
** SELECT * FROM generate_series WHERE start=0 AND stop=100;
**
** SELECT * FROM generate_series(20) LIMIT 10;
** SELECT * FROM generate_series WHERE start=20 LIMIT 10;
**
** The generate_series virtual table implementation leaves the xCreate method
** set to NULL. This means that it is not possible to do a CREATE VIRTUAL
** TABLE command with "generate_series" as the USING argument. Instead, there
** is a single generate_series virtual table that is always available without
** having to be created first.
**
** The xBestIndex method looks for equality constraints against the hidden
** start, stop, and step columns, and if present, it uses those constraints
** to bound the sequence of generated values. If the equality constraints
** are missing, it uses 0 for start, 4294967295 for stop, and 1 for step.
** xBestIndex returns a small cost when both start and stop are available,
** and a very large cost if either start or stop are unavailable. This
** encourages the query planner to order joins such that the bounds of the
** series are well-defined.
