Michael Paquier 72a6dad1c9 Move index statistics into their own stats kind
This commit splits the relation and index stats data, where the index
data is now moved to a new kind called PGSTAT_KIND_INDEX.  A benefit of
this refactoring is a reduction of the shared memory required for each
index, the new PgStat_StatIdxEntry including only the fields required
for indexes.  This leads to less data flushed to disk on shutdown.
Another benefit is that the addition of new fields for relation-level
stats is easier to think about.  Note that indexes have no need for most
of the xact-level fields that relations care about, clarifying the role
of each counter for each relkind.

System views are updated to use the index-level functions.  Note this
split means a possible break for tools that had the idea to call the
SQL functions for relation stats (not documented), as now these would
return 0 when queried for an index.  These tools can use the new index
functions to achieve the same result.

As of this change, the pending statistics are still controlled by
PgStat_TableStatus for both relation and index kinds.  This is left as a
follow-up piece, this one being good enough on its own.  This commit is
focused on the changes required for the SQL interface, shared memory
management and the on-disk format.

Bump catalog version.
Bump PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID.
