Amit Kapila df3b181499 Add infrastructure to track WAL usage.
This allows gathering the WAL generation statistics for each statement
execution.  The three statistics that we collect are the number of WAL
records, the number of full page writes and the amount of WAL bytes
generated.

This helps the users who have write-intensive workload to see the impact
of I/O due to WAL.  This further enables us to see approximately what
percentage of overall WAL is due to full page writes.

In the future, we can extend this functionality to allow us to compute the
the exact amount of WAL data due to full page writes.

This patch in itself is just an infrastructure to compute WAL usage data.
The upcoming patches will expose this data via explain, auto_explain,
pg_stat_statements and verbose (auto)vacuum output.

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:

	https://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
