Adding XID generation count per backend

This commit adds a new counter to record the number of XIDs generated per
backend. It will help to detect if a backend is consuming XIDs at a high rate.

Virtual transactions are not taken into account on purpose, we do want to track
only the XID where there is a risk of wraparound.
