doc: Mention de-normalization of deallocated entries in pg_stat_statements
The current implementation of query normalization in pg_stat_statements
is optimistic. If an entry is deallocated between the post-analyze hook
and the planner and/or execution hook, it can be possible to find query
strings with literal constant values (like "SELECT 1, 2") rather than
their normalized flavor (like "SELECT $1, $2").
This commit adds in the documentation a paragraph about this limitation,
and that this risk can be reduced by increasing pg_stat_statements.max,
particularly if pg_stat_statements_info reports a high number of
deallocations.
