Subject: [PATCH 4/7] Shared-memory based stats collector

This replaces the means to share server statistics numbers from file
to dynamic shared memory. Every backend directly reads and writres to
the stats tables. Stats collector process is removed.  Updates of
shared stats happens with the intervals not shorter than 500ms and not
longer than 1s. If the shared memory data is busy and a backend cannot
obtain lock immediately, usually the differences are stashed into
"pending stats" on local memory and merged with the number at the next
chance.
