Here is an updated version:
Changes wrt v2:
  - I have added the missing stuff under /nodes/, this is stupid code that
    should be automatically generated:-(
  - I have added comments in "gram.y" about how the length is computed.
    I have also slightly simplified the rule code there.
  - I have rename "location" in create table space to "location_dir"
    to avoid confusion.
  - I have renamed the fields "location" and "length" instead of q*.
  - I have moved the location & lenth copies in standard_planner.
  - I have fixed the function declaration typo.
  - I have simplified pgss_store code to avoid a copy, and move the
    length truncation in qtext_store.
  - I have improved again the pg_stat_statement regression tests with
    combined utility statement tests, which implied some fixes to
    extract the right substring for utility queries.
However, not changed:
  - I cannot use the intermediate node trick suggested by Tom because
    it does not work for utility statements which do not have plans, so
    the code still adds location & length, sorry.
  - I still use the 'last_semicolon' lexer variable. The alternative is to
    change rules so as not to skip empty statements, then write a loop to
    compute the length based on successor location, and remove the empty
    statements. It can be done, I do not think it is better, it is only
    different and more verbose. I'll do it if required by a committer.
