I think these additional stats will be displayed via
pg_stat_subscription, right? If so, the current stats of that view are
all in-memory and are per LogicalRepWorker which means that for those
stats also we will have different entries for apply and table sync
worker. If this understanding is correct, won't it be better to
represent this as below?

typedef struct PgStat_StatSubWorkerEntry
{
/* hash key */
Oid subid;
Oid relid

/* worker stats which includes xact stats */
PgStat_SubWorkerStats worker_stats

/* error stats */
PgStat_StatSubErrEntry worker_error_stats;
} PgStat_StatSubWorkerEntry;

typedef struct PgStat_SubWorkerStats
{
/* define existing stats here */
....

/* transaction stats of subscription */
PgStat_Counter xact_commit;
PgStat_Counter xact_commit_bytes;
PgStat_Counter xact_error;
PgStat_Counter xact_error_bytes;
PgStat_Counter xact_abort;
PgStat_Counter xact_abort_bytes;
} PgStat_SubWorkerStats;

Now, at drop subscription, we do need to find and remove all the subid
+ relid entries.
