pgstat: Create memory contexts below TopMemoryContext

So far they were created below CacheMemoryContext. However, that's not
guaranteed to exist in all situations, leading to memory contexts created as
top-level contexts. There isn't actually a good reason anymore to create them
below CacheMemoryContext, so just creating them below TopMemoryContext seems
the best approach.
