Reduce likelihood of Postgres table scanning state_groups_state
. (#10359)
The postgres statistics collector sometimes massively underestimates the number of distinct state groups are in the `state_groups_state`, which can cause postgres to use table scans for queries for multiple state groups. We fix this by manually setting `n_distinct` on the column.

|

-- there are 50 rows per distinct value). We don't need a particularly

-- accurate number here, as a) we just want it to always use index scans and b)
|

-- our estimate is going to be better than the one made by the statistics

ALTER TABLE state_groups_state ALTER COLUMN state_group SET (n_distinct = -0.02);

-- rely on the autovacuum eventually getting run and doing that in the
