Justin Pryzby reported that some scenarios could cause gathering of extended statistics to spend many seconds in an un-cancelable qsort() operation. To fix, invent qsort_interruptible(), which is just like qsort_arg() except that it will also do CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS every so often. This bloats the backend by a couple of kB, which seems like a good investment. (We considered just enabling CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS in the existing qsort and qsort_arg functions, but there are some callers for which that'd demonstrably be unsafe. Opt-in seems like a better way.) For now, just apply qsort_interruptible() in statistics collection. There's probably more places where it could be useful, but we can always change other call sites as we find problems. Back-patch to v14. Before that we didn't have extended stats on expressions, so that the problem was less severe. Also, this patch depends on the sort_template infrastructure introduced in v14.
