Andres Freund 5850b20f58 Add pgstattuple_approx() to the pgstattuple extension.
The new function allows to estimate bloat and other table level statics
in a faster, but approximate, way. It does so by using information from
the free space map for pages marked as all visible in the visibility
map. The rest of the table is actually read and free space/bloat is
measured accurately.  In many cases that allows to get bloat information
much quicker, causing less IO.
