Add backend-level lock statistics

This commit adds per-backend lock statistics, providing the same
information as pg_stat_lock. It is now possible to retrieve those stats
(lock wait counts, wait times, and fast-path exceeded count) on a
per-backend basis.

This data can be retrieved with a new system function called
pg_stat_get_backend_lock(), that returns one tuple per lock type based
on the PID provided in input. Like pg_stat_get_backend_io(), this is
useful if joined with pg_stat_activity to get a live picture of the
locks behavior for each running backend.

pgstat_flush_backend() gains a new flag value, able to control the flush
of the lock stats.

This commit is straight-forward, relying on the infrastructure provided
by 9aea73fc61d4 (backend-level pgstats).

Bump catalog version. No need to touch PGSTAT_FILE_FORMAT_ID as backend
statistics are never written to disk.
