Preserve the owner of extended statistics rebuilt by ALTER TABLE.

When ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN TYPE (or any subcommand that rebuilds
them) drops and re-creates the extended statistics objects depending on
the altered column, the re-created objects were owned by the role running
ALTER TABLE rather than by the original owner of the statistics.

Remember each object's owner before dropping it, and restore it on
re-creation.

CreateStatistics()'s signature changes and CreateStatsStmt gains a field,
but no known third-party code calls the former or constructs the latter.
