This patch still doesn't compile for me --- MemoryContextMemConsumed
got modified some more by commit 743112a2e, and needs minor fixes.

I initially didn't like the definition of MemoryContextTraverseNext
because it requires two copies of the "process node" logic.  However,
that seems fine for most of the callers, and even where we are
duplicating logic it's just a line or so, so I guess it's ok.
However, MemoryContextTraverseNext seems undercommented to me, plus
the claim that it traverses in depth-first order is just wrong.

I found some bugs in MemoryContextStatsInternal too: the old
logic assumed that ichild exceeding max_children was the only
way to get into the summarization logic, but now ichild minus
max_children could very well be negative.  Fortunately we can
just reset ichild to zero and not worry about having any
connection between the first loop and the second.

Here's a v5 of 0003 with those issues and some more-cosmetic ones
cleaned up.  I didn't look at 0001 or 0002.

Tom, thank you for your revision of this patch!

Sorry for tediousness, but isn't pre-order a variation of depth-first order [1]?
