Simplify and rename some GUC variables, per various recent discussions:

Browse Source 
* stats_start_collector goes away; we always start the collector process,
unless prevented by a problem with setting up the stats UDP socket.

* stats_reset_on_server_start goes away; it seems useless in view of the
availability of pg_stat_reset().

* stats_block_level and stats_row_level are merged into a single variable
"track_counts", which controls all reports sent to the collector process.

* stats_command_string is renamed to track_activities.

* log_autovacuum is renamed to log_autovacuum_min_duration to better reflect
its meaning.

The log_autovacuum change is not a compatibility issue since it didn't exist
before 8.3 anyway.  The other changes need to be release-noted.
