Hi Hackers,
As I was hacking on the CREATE TABLE tab completions, I noticed that the
CREATE STATISTICS completion was checking manually for the start and end
of the parenthesised list instead of using the "(*)" wildcard (because
it predates that functionality). Attached is a patch that updates it to
use the modern syntax.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Use wildcard to match parens after CREATE STATISTICS
Now that * can match in the middle of an alternative, we can use "(*)"
to match the whole parenthesised list, instead of checking manually
for the '(' and ')'.
