Ok!  I used the last version of the patch you sent and addressed the following
comments from earlier messages in attached v20:

- copyright year to 2021
- s/has has been compute/has been compute/
- use the name CleanQuerytext in the first commit

I didn't change the position of queryid in pg_stat_get_activity(), as the
"real" order is actually define in system_views.sql when creating
pg_stat_activity view.  Adding the new fields at the end of
pg_stat_get_activity() helps to keep the C code simpler and less bug prone, so
I think it's best to continue this way.

I also used the previous commit message if that helps.

Commits

  1. Clarify description of pg_stat_statements columns

  2. Fix wording in description of pg_stat_statements.toplevel

  3. Mention that toplevel is part of pg_stat_statements key.

  4. adjust query id feature to use pg_stat_activity.query_id

  5. Update copyright for 2021

  6. Take the statistics collector out of the loop for monitoring backends'
