pgsql: Add pg_stat_get_snapshot_timestamp() to show statistics snapshot

Add pg_stat_get_snapshot_timestamp() to show statistics snapshot timestamp.

Per discussion, this could be useful for purposes such as programmatically
detecting a nonresponding stats collector. We already have the timestamp
anyway, it's just a matter of providing a SQL-accessible function to fetch
it.
