Revert "Add log_statement_sample_rate parameter"

tvondra · tvondra · commit 75506195da81 · 2019-08-04T23:38:27.000+02:00
This reverts commit 88bdbd3. As committed, statement sampling used the existing duration threshold (log_min_duration_statement) when decide which statements to sample. The issue is that even the longest statements are subject to sampling, and so may not end up logged. An improvement was proposed, introducing a second duration threshold, but it would not be backwards compatible. So we've decided to revert this feature - the separate threshold should be part of the feature itself.
