This patch implements
explain_analyze_timer = off
which prevents time instrumentation being taken during an
EXPLAIN ANALYZE. The output of EA is unaffected, so that all the times
come out as zero - this is done to ensure any programs that are parsing
this output can still recognise it.
I'm not claiming there has been agreement towards this approach, so an
approach may yet be found which is acceptable to all. In the meantime...
