Make the temporary directory for pgstat files configurable by the GUC

variable stats_temp_directory, instead of requiring the admin to
mount/symlink the pg_stat_tmp directory manually.

For now the config variable is PGC_POSTMASTER. Room for further improvment
that would allow it to be changed on-the-fly.

Sets the directory to store temporary statistics data in. This can be a
path relative to the data directory or an absolute path. The default is
<filename>pg_stat_tmp</filename>. Pointing this at a RAM based filesystem
will decrease physical I/O requirements and can lead to increased
performance. This parameter can only be set at server start.
