So....about that. The exiting missing-stats-only queries test for a
corresponding pg_statistic_ext_data row for any pg_statistic_ext row that
meets the relation filters, but at this very moment we can restore all
types of extended stats _except_ expressions. That functionality could make
it into 19, but if it doesn't we're going to have to adjust vacuumdb to
probe pg_statistic_ext.stxkeys for expression indexes and look for matching
stxdexprs elements. I agree that those matches are better done with
syscache lookups, but the SQL that we're treating as a spec might be a
moving target in the near future.
