sql: add support for ANALYZE <tablename>

[rytaft]

This commit adds support for ANALYZE <tablename> by adding the
statement as syntactic sugar for the equivalent command
CREATE STATISTICS "" FROM <tablename>. This improves compatibility
with Postgres, and is needed to run the PostGIS tutorial as written.

Note that this commit does not add support for ANALYZE without a
table name. We can add support for that and other variants later if
needed, but it is not necessary for the PostGIS tutorial.

Fixes #49214

Release note (sql change): Added support for ANALYZE <tablename>,
which causes the database to collect statistics on the given table for
use by the optimizer. The functionality of this command is equivalent
to the existing command CREATE STATISTICS "" FROM <tablename>, but
it increases compatibility with Postgres by using the same syntax that
Postgres uses.

// Format implements the NodeFormatter interface.
func (node *Analyze) Format(ctx *FmtCtx) {
	ctx.WriteString("ANALYZE ")

I think we're missing the corresponding code in pretty.go. We should add some parsing tests with the new statement to parse_test.go, I think that would have exposed this.

Doesn't seem like I need to add anything to pretty.go (CREATE STATISTICS doesn't have anything there either...) but good call about adding to parse_test.go. Added tests there and help_test.go

Ah, I guess there is a "default" that works for simple statements, good to know!
