This adds a function for retrieving memory context statistics and information from backends as well as auxiliary processes. The intended usecase is cluster debugging when under memory pressure or unanticipated memory usage characteristics. When calling the function it sends a signal to the specified process to submit statistics regarding its memory contexts into dynamic shared memory. Each memory context is returned in detail, followed by a cumulative total in case the number of contexts exceed the max allocated amount of shared memory. Each process is limited to use at most 1Mb memory for this. A summary can also be explicitly requested by the user, this will return the TopMemoryContext and a cumulative total of all lower contexts. In order to not block on busy processes the caller specifies the number of seconds during which to retry before timing out. In the case where no statistics are published within the set timeout, the last known statistics are returned, or NULL if no previously published statistics exist. This allows dash- board type queries to continually publish even if the target process is temporarily congested. Context records contain a timestamp to indicate when they were submitted.
