We cannot do that because of latch.h, which now only includes
<signal.h> and it would be a bad idea to add more dependencies to
PG-specific headers.

Maybe I sound stupid here, but I am trying to keep the same of this
macro short so I'd go for pgstat_make_wait_desc().

For this one I agree, your naming is better. It is kind of good to let
callers of WaitLatch know where this is actually used. I have added as
well comments on top of WaitLatch & friends to mention what
pgstat_desc does, that's useful for the user.
