Fix stats_fetch_consistency with stats for fixed-numbered objects
This impacts the statistics retrieved in transactions for the following
views when updating the value of stats_fetch_consistency, leading to
behaviors contrary to what is documented since 605994651b6a as an update
of this parameter should discard all statistics snapshot data:
- pg_stat_archiver
- pg_stat_bgwriter
- pg_stat_checkpointer
- pg_stat_io
- pg_stat_slru
- pg_stat_wal
For example, updating stats_fetch_consistency from "snapshot" to "cache"
in a transaction did not re-fetch any fresh data, using data cached from
the time when "snapshot" was in use.
