pgsql: Expose some information about backend subxact status.

Expose some information about backend subxact status.

A new function pg_stat_get_backend_subxact() can be used to get
information about the number of subtransactions in the cache of
a particular backend and whether that cache has overflowed. This
can be useful for tracking down performance problems that can
result from overflowed snapshots.

Rouhaud. Additional design comments from Andres Freund,
Tom Lane, Bruce Momjian, and David G. Johnston.
