The same code pattern is repeated 21 times for int64 counters (0 for
missing entry) and 5 times for doubles (0 for missing entry) on database
entries. This code is switched to use macros for the basic code
instead, shaving a few hundred lines of originally-duplicated code
patterns. The function names remain the same, but some fields of
PgStat_StatDBEntry have to be renamed to cope with the new style.
This is in the same spirit as 83a1a1b.

Previously the statistics collector received statistics updates via UDP and
shared statistics data by writing them out to temporary files regularly. These
files can reach tens of megabytes and are written out up to twice a
second. This has repeatedly prevented us from adding additional useful
statistics.
Now statistics are stored in shared memory. Statistics for variable-numbered
objects are stored in a dshash hashtable (backed by dynamic shared
memory). Fixed-numbered stats are stored in plain shared memory.
The header for pgstat.c contains an overview of the architecture.
The stats collector is not needed anymore, remove it.
By utilizing the transactional statistics drop infrastructure introduced in a
prior commit statistics entries cannot "leak" anymore. Previously leaked
statistics were dropped by pgstat_vacuum_stat(), called from [auto-]vacuum. On
systems with many small relations pgstat_vacuum_stat() could be quite
expensive.
Now that replicas drop statistics entries for dropped objects, it is not
necessary anymore to reset stats when starting from a cleanly shut down
replica.
Subsequent commits will perform some further code cleanup, adapt docs and add
tests.

Soon the stats collector will be no more, with statistics instead getting
stored in shared memory. There are a lot of references to the stats collector
in comments. This commit replaces most of these references with "cumulative
statistics system", with the remaining ones getting replaced as part of
subsequent commits.
This is done separately from the - quite large - shared memory statistics
patch to make review easier.

pgstat.c is very long, and it's hard to find an order that makes sense and is
likely to be maintained over time. Splitting the different pieces into
separate files makes that a lot easier.
With a few exceptions, this commit just moves code around. Those exceptions
are:
- adding file headers for new files
- removing 'static' from functions
- adapting pgstat_assert_is_up() to work across TUs
- minor comment adjustments
git diff --color-moved=dimmed-zebra is very helpful separating code movement
from code changes.
The next commit in this series will reorder pgstat.[ch] contents to be a bit
more coherent.
Earlier revisions of this patch had "global" statistics (archiver, bgwriter,
checkpointer, replication slots, SLRU, WAL) in one file, because each seemed
small enough. However later commits will increase their size and their
aggregate size is not insubstantial. It also just seems easier to split each
type of statistic into its own file.
