Tom Lane 4e37b3e15c Avoid hard-wired sleep delays in stats regression test.
On faster machines, the overall runtime for running the core regression
tests is under twenty seconds these days, of which the hard-wired delays
in the stats test are a significant fraction.  But on closer inspection,
it seems like we shouldn't need those.

The initial 2-second delay is there only to reduce the risk of the test's
stats messages not getting sent due to contention.  But analysis of the
last ten years' worth of buildfarm runs shows no evidence that such
failures actually occur.  (We do see failures that look like stats
messages not getting sent, particularly on Windows; but there is little
reason to believe that the initial delay reduces their frequency.)

The later 1-second delay is there to ensure that our session's stats
will have gotten sent.  But we could also do that by starting a fresh
session, which takes well under 1 second even on very slow machines.

Hence, let's remove both delays and see what happens.  The first delay
was the only test of pg_sleep_for() in the regression tests, but we can
move that responsibility into wait_for_stats().

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
