Subject: pgsql: Fix pg_stat_get_backend_wait_event() for aux processes

Fix pg_stat_get_backend_wait_event() for aux processes

The pg_stat_activity view shows information for aux processes, but the
pg_stat_get_backend_wait_event() and
pg_stat_get_backend_wait_event_type() functions did not. To fix, call
AuxiliaryPidGetProc(pid) if BackendPidGetProc(pid) returns NULL, like
we do in pg_stat_get_activity().

In version 17 and above, it's a little silly to use those functions
when we already have the ProcNumber at hand, but it was necessary
before v17 because the backend ID was different from ProcNumber. I
have other plans for wait_event_info on master, so it doesn't seem
worth applying a different fix on different versions now.
