Fix calculation of maximum statistics-message size.

The PGSTAT_NUM_TABENTRIES macro should have been updated when new fields
were added to struct PgStat_MsgTabstat in commit 644828908, but it wasn't.
Fix that.

Also, add a static assertion that we didn't overrun the intended size limit
on stats messages.  This will not necessarily catch every mistake in
computing the maximum array size for stats messages, but it will catch ones
that have practical consequences.  (The assertion in fact doesn't complain
about the aforementioned error in PGSTAT_NUM_TABENTRIES, because that was
not big enough to cause the array length to increase.)

No back-patch, as there's no actual bug in existing releases; this is just
in the nature of future-proofing.
