I believe that as the patch stands, we'd incur one new gettimeofday()
per query-inside-a-transaction, inside the enable_timeout_after() call.
(I think the disable_timeout() call would not result in a gettimeofday
call, since there would be no remaining live timeout events.)

We could possibly refactor enough to share the clock reading with the call
done in pgstat_report_activity.  Not sure how ugly that would be or
whether it's worth the trouble.  Note that in the not-a-transaction-block
case, we already have got two gettimeofday calls in this sequence, one in
pgstat_report_stat and one in pgstat_report_activity :-(
