Sample postgres_fdw tables remotely during ANALYZE

Browse Source 
When collecting ANALYZE sample on foreign tables, postgres_fdw fetched
all rows and performed the sampling locally. For large tables this means
transferring and immediately discarding large amounts of data.

This commit allows the sampling to be performed on the remote server,
transferring only the much smaller sample. The sampling is performed
using the built-in TABLESAMPLE methods (system, bernoulli) or random()
function, depending on the remote server version.

Remote sampling can be enabled by analyze_sampling on the foreign server
and/or foreign table, with supported values 'off', 'auto', 'system',
'bernoulli' and 'random'. The default value is 'auto' which uses either
'bernoulli' (TABLESAMPLE method) or 'random' (for remote servers without
TABLESAMPLE support).
