Previously, the output of EXPLAIN (BUFFERS) option showed only the I/O timing spent reading and writing shared and local buffers. This commit adds on top of that the I/O timing for temporary buffers in the output of EXPLAIN (for spilled external sorts, hashes, materialization. etc). This can be helpful for users in cases where the I/O related to temporary buffers is the bottleneck. Like its cousin, this information is available only when track_io_timing is enabled. Playing the patch, this is showing an extra overhead of up to 1% even when using gettimeofday() as implementation for interval timings, which is slightly within the usual range noise still that's measurable.
