here, "pg_stat_statement" should be "pg_stat_statements"?

here, "parameter",  should be "argument"?

maybe

in section: E.1.2. Migration to Version 17

"pg_stat_statement" should be "pg_stat_statements"?

also, we only mentioned, pg_stat_statements some columns name changed
in "E.1.2. Migration to Version 17"
but if you look at the release note pg_stat_statements section,
we added a bunch of columns, which are far more incompatibile than
just colunm name changes.

not sure we need add these in section "E.1.2. Migration to Version 17"
