The four following attributes are removed from pg_stat_wal:
* wal_write
* wal_sync
* wal_write_time
* wal_sync_time
a051e71e28 has added an equivalent of this information in pg_stat_io
with more granularity as this now spreads across the backend types, IO
context and IO objects. So, keeping the same information in pg_stat_wal
has little benefits.
Another benefit of this commit is the removal of PendingWalStats,
simplifying an upcoming patch to add per-backend WAL statistics, which
already support IO statistics and which have access to the write/sync
stats data of WAL.
The GUC track_wal_io_timing, that was used to enable or disable the
aggregation of the write and sync timings for WAL, is also removed.
pgstat_prepare_io_time() is simplified.
Bump catalog version.
Bump PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID, due to the update of PgStat_WalStats.

Representation of non-ASCII characters
--------------------------------------
Find non-ASCII characters using:
grep --recursive --color='auto' -P '[\x80-\xFF]' .
Convert to HTML4 named entity (&) escapes
-----------------------------------------
We support several output formats:
* html (supports all Unicode characters)
* man (supports all Unicode characters)
* pdf (supports only Latin-1 characters)
* info
While some output formatting tools support all Unicode characters,
others only support Latin-1 characters. Specifically, the PDF rendering
engine can only display Latin-1 characters; non-Latin-1 Unicode
characters are displayed as "###".
Therefore, in the SGML files, we only use Latin-1 characters. We
typically encode these characters as HTML entities, e.g., Álvaro.
It is also possible to safely represent Latin-1 characters in UTF8
encoding for all output formats.
Do not use UTF numeric character escapes (&#nnn;).
