I see the point in the fine-grained reset, but I am -1 on having that
reset "pg_stat_database.stats_reset". That would make the timestamp
mostly useless.

One could argue that resetting a single counter and *not* resetting
"pg_stat_database.stats_reset" would also be a lie, but at least it is
a smaller lie.
