* [PATCH v15 1/2] Key PGSTAT_KIND_RELATION by relfile locator

This patch changes the key used for the PGSTAT_KIND_RELATION statistic kind.
Instead of the relation oid, it now relies on:
- dboid (linked to RelFileLocator's dbOid)
- objoid which is the result of a new macro (namely RelFileLocatorToPgStatObjid())
that computes an objoid based on the RelFileLocator's spcOid and the
RelFileLocator's relNumber.
This is possible as, since b14e9ce7d55c, the objoid is now uint64 and spcOid
and relNumber are 32 bits.
That will allow us to add new stats (add writes counters) and ensure that some
counters (n_dead_tup and friends) are replicated.
The patch introduces pgstat_reloid_to_relfilelocator() to 1) avoid calling
RelationIdGetRelation() to get the relfilelocator based on the relation oid
and 2) handle the partitioned table case.
Please note that:
- when running pg_stat_have_stats('relation',...) we now need to be connected
to the database that hosts the relation. As pg_stat_have_stats() is not
documented publicly, then the changes done in 029_stats_restart.pl look
enough.
- this patch does not handle rewrites so some tests are failing. It's only
intent is to ease the review and should not be pushed without being
merged with the following patch that handles the rewrites.
- it can be used to test that stats are incremented correctly and that we're
able to retrieve them as long as rewrites are not involved.
