Add wal_fpi_bytes to pg_stat_wal and pg_stat_get_backend_wal()
This new counter, called "wal_fpi_bytes", tracks the total amount in
bytes of full page images (FPIs) generated in WAL. This data becomes
available globally via pg_stat_wal, and for backend statistics via
pg_stat_get_backend_wal().
Previously, this information could only be retrieved with pg_waldump or
pg_walinspect, which may not be available depending on the environment,
and are expensive to execute. It offers hints about how much FPIs
impact the WAL generated, which could be a large percentage for some
workloads, as well as the effects of wal_compression or page holes.
Bump catalog version.
Bump PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID, due to the addition of wal_fpi_bytes in
PgStat_WalCounters.
