If it's only pg_statistic then you're in luck, because all the data
in that is rebuildable.  You can try "delete from pg_statistic",
and then "vacuum full pg_statistic".  I'm not sure that will work
though, it may hit the same problem.  If so, you need a bigger
hammer: "TRUNCATE pg_statistic" will fix it, but you'll need to
stop the server and restart with allow_system_table_mods enabled
to be allowed to do that.  (Turn allow_system_table_mods back
off afterwards!)

Once you've got an empty pg_statistic, run "ANALYZE;" (as superuser)
to rebuild all the stats.

Hard to tell what the underlying issue is here --- perhaps pg_upgrade
messed up, but it would take some detailed investigation to find out.
