Meh. I still don't like it, but I guess I'm outvoted. Unless there are
further votes, what we have at this point is just:

- elog(WARNING, "pgstat wait timeout");
+ ereport(LOG, (errmsg("using stale statistics instead of current ones because stats collector is not responding")));

with no conditionality for pgstat_vacuum_stat vs. other callers.
