Fix tsmatchsel() to account properly for null rows.

ts_typanalyze.c computes MCE statistics as fractions of the non-null rows,
which seems fairly reasonable, and anyway changing it in released versions
wouldn't be a good idea. But then ts_selfuncs.c has to account for that.
Failure to do so results in overestimates in columns with a significant
fraction of null documents. Back-patch to 8.4 where this stuff was
introduced.
