I just realized that with current infrastructure it's not possible to
display a utility queryid.  We need to recognize utility to not
process the counters twice (once in processUtility, once in the
underlying executor),  so we don't provide a queryid for utility
statements in parse analysis.  Current magic value 0 has the side
effect of showing an invalid queryid for all utilty statements, and
using a magic value different from 0 will just always display that
magic value.  We could instead add another field in the Query and
PlannedStmt structs, say "int queryid_flags", that extensions could
use for their needs?

Yep, I noticed that this morning.  I already rebased the patch
locally, I'll send a new version with new modifications when we reach
an agreement on the utility issue.
