Thanks for the updated patch!

I think the changes to the test are overcomplicated unnecessarly. We should not
have to join pg_stat_database and pg_stat_database_conflicts. We can just
query each fo the stats_reset separately. see v5, I kept the check to
ensure that
pg_stat_database and pg_stat_database_conflicts have the same reset
time. I think
this is good to have as well. I also updated the existing comment for
more clarity.
