Ensure that we retry rather than erroring out when send() or recv() return

EINTR; the stats code was failing to do this and so were a couple of places
in the postmaster.  The stats code assumed that recv() could not return EINTR
if a preceding select() showed the socket to be read-ready, but this is
demonstrably false with our Windows implementation of recv(), and it may
not be the case on all Unix variants either.  I think this explains the
intermittent stats regression test failures we've been seeing, as well
as reports of stats collector instability under high load on Windows.

Backpatch as far as 8.0.
