Fix race condition in statext_store().

Must hold some lock on the pg_statistic_ext_data catalog *before*
we look up the tuple we aim to replace.  Otherwise a concurrent
VACUUM FULL or similar operation could move it to a different TID,
leaving us trying to replace the wrong tuple.

Back-patch to v12 where this got broken.

Credit goes to Dean Rasheed; I'm just doing the clerical work.
