Hmm, yeah, perhaps this is acceptable.  The changes in pgstat.c seem
inconsistent, though, only moving the min interval while the max and
idle times stay around.

This also make me wonder if we should work towards extending
pgstat_report_stat(), so as we save in GetCurrentTimestamp() while
making the internals still local to pgstat.c.  Or perhaps not in the
scope of a backpatchable design.
