I think it's straightforward, if we decouple the tri-valued enum used
for guc.c purposes from a separate boolean that actually enables the
feature. GUC sets the boolean to "off" initially when it sees the enum
as "auto", and then pg_stat_statement's _PG_init modifies it during its
own startup as needed.
So the user can turn the GUC off, and then pg_stat_statement does
nothing and there is no performance drawback; or leave it "auto" and
it'll only compute query_id if pg_stat_statement is loaded; or leave it
on if they want the query_id for other purposes.
