Please split this into separate patches for database-level and
table-level tracking, because I think it's highly likely that the latter
will get rejected.  We have had multiple complaints already about the
size of the stats file for databases with many tables.  I don't believe
that it's worth bloating the per-table entries even further with this
information.  Tracking reset time it per-database doesn't seem like a
problem though.
