[3] and [4] have been applied. [2] is more sensitive than it looks,
and [1] for the split of index and table stats can feed on the one of
this thread.

Roma wasn't built in one day, and from what I can see you can still do
some progress with the refactoring of pgstatfuncs.c with what's
already on HEAD. So how about handling doing that first as much as we
can based on the state of HEAD? That looks like 50~60% (?) of the
original goal to switch pgstatfuncs.c to use more macros to generate
the definition of all these SQL functions.
