Here's an initial run of this. It still feels wrong that we have the
dynamic views under "the statistics collector". Perhaps longterm we
should look at actually splitting them out to a completely different

I only fixed the obvious parts in this - the split out, and the moving
of pg_stat_database_conflicts. But it's a first step at least.

Objections?
