pgstat: Hide instability in stats.spec with -DCATCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE.

With -DCATCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE a few tests failed. Those were trying to test
behavior in the absence of invalidation processing and
-DCATCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE obviously adds a lot of invalidation processing. The
test already tried to handle debug_discard_caches > 0, by disabling it for
individual tests.

Instead hide potentially problematic function calls in a wrapper function that
catches the does-not-exist error. The error isn't the actually interesting
bit, it's whether the stats entry still exist afterwards.

I confirmed that the tests still catches leaked function stats if I nuke the
protections against that in pgstat_function.c.

Per buildfarm animal prion.
