"_stable", nice name choice. Rebasing was nonzero but just barely.

Subject: [PATCH v8 1/2] Add tableid, statid, attnum, expr_attnum columns to
 pg_stats views.

Add tableid and attnum columns to pg_stats.  Add tableid, statid columns
to pg_stats_ext.  Add tableid, statid, expr_attnum columns to
pg_stats_ext_exprs.

The primary purpose of this patch is to expose the starelid column of
pg_statistic in the pg_stats view. Having this available will allow us
to simplify some code in pg_dump which currently has to store arrays of
nspname+relname in order to fetch a resonable amount of statistics in
one query. Furthermore, the query used in pg_dump requires a redundant
qual in the WHERE clause to ensure that it uses a specific index, thus
avoiding a hash join and the expensive sequential scan of pg_statistic
that that entails.

This patch makes simlilar changes to pg_stats_ext and
pg_stats_ext_exprs, but there is no immediate need to utlize those
changes in pg_dump.

Subject: [PATCH v8 2/2] pg_dump: Use tableid in getAttributeStats

The existing query for fetching attribute stats is clumsy for several
reasons. One is that the volume of stats returned is unpredictable and
could be very large, so stats must be fetched in medium-sized batches.
The other is that the stats fetching query is on pg_stats, which
historically does not expose tableid, requiring us to pass in an array
of schemanames and an array of tablenames and unnest them in pairs. This
results in a hash join which gives very poor performance, but adding an
extra qual was able to trick the query into using an existing index.
That trick always seems brittle because it is, and while it works on all
past versions, there is no guarantee that it will continue to work on
future versions.

With that in mind, change the pg_dump query to instead use tableid on
versions in which tableid is available in pg_stats. This virtually
guarantees that pg_statistic will use index lookups, eliminates the
"trick" qual mentioned above, and is just simpler.
