Agreed. That is what I want to do at first.

A shutdown hook is probably not needed because I can use proc_exit()
or shmem_exit() for the purpose.
- On Windows, shared_preload_libraries will be loaded not only by postmaster and backends but also by auxiliary
processes.(I think it is also required by rmgr hooks.)
- Add a function BgWriterIAm() to export a variable am_bg_writer. It is used for dumping stats data on shutdown as
following: on_proc_exit( dump_stats_if_BgWriterIAm );
- It might be cleaner to add a callback function on_startup(). Registered functions are called by startup process after
REDO.It is used for loading stats data, but is not always necessary because the first user of the module can load the
data.
