If we do support resetting the stats for shared tables in
'pg_stat_reset', which is for DB level,
then the stats of shared tables will be reseted in other instances as
well, which seems to be not correct.
So we need to provide some way to reset the stats for shared tables to
customers.

In the latest patch, we have supported only through the
pgstat_recv_resetsinglecounter function to reset stats for shared
tables.
