Patch(es) to expose n_live_tuples and n_dead_tuples to SQL land - Mailing list pgsql-patches

This patch consists of two c functions to expose n_live_tuples and
n_dead_tuples, SQL functions to expose them to SQL land, and
corresponding fields added to pg_stat_all_tables.

This has been discussed in general.  The purpose is to allow
autovacuum-esq conditional vacuuming and clustering using SQL to
discover the required stats.
