Sure. I divided the patch. Now Justin's refactor commit is separated.
Also I actualized it a bit.

I took your advice about InstrumentOption. Now INSTRUMENT_EXTRA exists.
So currently it's no overheads during basic load. Operations using
INSTRUMENT_ALL contain overheads (because of INSTRUMENT_EXTRA is a part
of INSTRUMENT_ALL), but they are much less significant than before. I
apply new overhead statistics collected by pgbench with auto _explain
enabled.

We need this initialization for min values so comment about it located
above the block of code with initialization.
I am convinced that the latest changes have affected the patch in a
positive way. I'll be pleased to hear your thoughts on this.
