Agreed. I've created the single_entry_reset() function wrapping this
code. I wonder if it should be declared as inline to speedup a little.

I've implemented this test.

Set plan_cache_mode seems a little bit excess to me. And maybe in the
future some another plan caching strategies will be implementd with
coresponding settings.. So I've just left a comment there.

I think that if we can do it in accurate way and there is no obvious
side effects, why not to try it...
Changing of pg_stat_statements_reset function result caused a
confiderable tests update. Also, I'm not sure that my description of
this feature in the docs is blameless..
After all, I'm a little bit in doubt about this feature, so I'm ready
to rollback it.
