Track I/O timing for temporary file blocks in EXPLAIN (BUFFERS)
Previously, the output of EXPLAIN (BUFFERS) option showed only the I/O
timing spent reading and writing shared and local buffers. This commit
adds on top of that the I/O timing for temporary buffers in the output
of EXPLAIN (for spilled external sorts, hashes, materialization. etc).
This can be helpful for users in cases where the I/O related to
temporary buffers is the bottleneck.
Like its cousin, this information is available only when track_io_timing
is enabled. Playing the patch, this is showing an extra overhead of up
to 1% even when using gettimeofday() as implementation for interval
timings, which is slightly within the usual range noise still that's
measurable.
