 * Wait Events - Extension, InjectionPoint
 *
 * Use InjectionPoint when the server process is waiting in an injection
 * point.  Use Extension for other cases of the server process waiting for
 * some condition defined by an extension module.
 *
 * Extensions can define their own wait events in these categories.  They
 * should call one of these functions with a wait event string.  If the wait
 * event associated to a string is already allocated, it returns the wait
 * event information to use.  If not, it gets one wait event ID allocated from
 * a shared counter, associates the string to the ID in the shared dynamic
 * hash and returns the wait event information.
 *
 * The ID retrieved can be used with pgstat_report_wait_start() or equivalent.

 * pgstat_report_wait_start() -
 *
 *  Called from places where server process needs to wait.  This is called
 *  to report wait event information.  The wait information is stored
 *  as 4-bytes where first byte represents the wait event class (type of
 *  wait, for different types of wait, refer WaitClass) and the next
 *  3-bytes represent the actual wait event.  Currently 2-bytes are used
 *  for wait event which is sufficient for current usage, 1-byte is
 *  reserved for future usage.
 *
 *  Historically we used to make this reporting conditional on
 *  pgstat_track_activities, but the check for that seems to add more cost
 *  than it saves.
 *
 *  my_wait_event_info initially points to local memory, making it safe to
 *  call this before MyProc has been initialized.
