1) Previously there were both pgstat_send_wal() and pgstat_report_wal() in order to send WAL activity to the stats collector. With the former being used by wal writer, the latter by most other processes. They were a bit redundant and so this commit merges them into pgstat_send_wal() to simplify the code. 2) Previously WAL global statistics counters were calculated and then compared with zero-filled buffer in order to determine whether any WAL activity has happened since the last submission. These calculation and comparison were not cheap. This was regularly exercised even in read-only workloads. This commit fixes the issue by making some WAL activity counters directly be checked to determine if there's WAL activity stats to send. 3) Previously pgstat_report_stat() did not check if there's WAL activity stats to send as part of the "Don't expend a clock check if nothing to do" check at the top. It's probably rare to have pending WAL stats without also passing one of the other conditions, but for safely this commit changes pgstat_report_stats() so that it checks also some WAL activity counters at the top. This commit also adds the comments about the design of WAL stats.
