Because I was under the impression that separating the counters first
made the implementation of the relfilenode stats and the recomputation
of them during WAL replay much cleaner, and after putting my hands on
it myself, well, I still do. True enough that this deserves a thread
of its own, though. Will do so after cleaning up a few things in the
first two patches.
