Include information on buffer usage during planning phase, in EXPLAIN output.

When BUFFERS option is enabled, EXPLAIN command includes the information
on buffer usage during each plan node, in its output. In addition to that,
this commit makes EXPLAIN command include also the information on
buffer usage during planning phase, in its output. This feature makes it
easier to discern the cases where lots of buffer access happen during
planning.
