Following recent conversations in [1], those changes have been made in v4
attached:

- avoid tracking the commit and rollback counters twice (for databases and for
backends) but increment the backend stats when the database ones are flushed. Same
idea as [2].

- pg_stat_backend is too generic (see [3]), let's use pg_stat_backend_transaction 
instead. I deliberately did not use pg_stat_backend_xact to not confuse with the
other "*xact*" functions/views where the meaning is not the same. I'm open to
other naming suggestion though.
