Code review for commands/statscmds.c.
Fix machine-dependent sorting of column numbers. (Odd behavior
would only materialize for column numbers above 255, but that's
certainly legal.)
Fix poor choice of SQLSTATE for some errors, and improve error message
wording. (Notably, "is not a scalar type" is a totally misleading way
to explain "does not have a default btree opclass".)
Avoid taking AccessExclusiveLock on the associated relation during DROP
STATISTICS. That's neither necessary nor desirable, and it could easily
have put us into situations where DROP fails (compare commit 68ea2b7f9).
Adjust/improve comments.
