Add pgstat test for reset of dead/live counters with table truncation

A patch has been proposed to refactor the table-level statistics to
treat the non-transactional and transactional parts as two separate
entities, in the scope of a larger piece of work to introduce
transactional flushes.

This commit adds a test for a pattern that has proved to be problematic
while splitting the relation stats data, and where we had no coverage
yet: an entry marked as truncdropped resets the live/dead counters in
the flush callback, leaving any other data intact.  The code path
resetting the live/dead counters was covered, but nothing in the
regression tests checked the stats views for it.

Extracted from a larger patch by the same author.
