The consistency here means "repeatable read" of an object's stats
entry, not a snapshot covering all objects. We don't need to copy
all the entries at once following this definition. The attached
version makes a cache entry only for requested objects.

Addition to that vacuum doesn't require even repeatable read
consistency so we don't need to cache the entries at all.
backend_get_tab_entry now returns an isolated (that means
not-stored-in-hash) palloc'ed copy without making a local copy in
the case.

As the result, this version behaves as the follows.

- Stats collector stores the results in shared memory.

- In backend, cache is created only for requested objects and
  lasts for the transaction.

- Vacuum directly reads the shared stats and doesn't create a
  local copy.

The non-behavioral difference from the v1 is the follows.

- snapshot feature of dshash is removed.

regards.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Change stats collector to an axiliary process.

Shared memory and LWLocks are required to let stats collector use
dshash. This patch makes stats collector an auxiliary process.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] dshash-based stats collector

Stats collector no longer uses files to distribute stats numbers. They
are now stored in dynamic shared hash. The stats entries are cached
one by one to give a consistent snapshot during a transaction. On the
other hand vacuum no longer take a complete cache of stats.
