Commit 83e176e moved row sampling functions from analyze.c to utils/misc/sampling.c, but failed to update comment referring to the sampling algorithm from Jeff Vitter's paper. Correct the comment by pointing to utils/misc/sampling.c. Author: Etsuro Fujita Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAPmGK154gp%2BQd%3DcorQOv%2BPmbyVyZBjp_%2Bhb766UJeD1e_ie6XQ%40mail.gmail.com
