This new statistic doesn't solve your problem (tune wal_buffers). It doesn't
give you the wal_buffers value. It only says "hey, I needed more buffers so I
write those dirty ones". It doesn't say how many. I would like to have
something that says "hey, you have 1000 buffers available and  you are using
100 buffers (10%)". This new statistic is only useful for decreasing the
WALWriteLock contention.
