The bulkstat code has several different ways of detecting the end of an AG when doing a walk. They are not consistently detected, and the code that checks for the end of AG conditions is not consistently coded. Hence the are conditions where the walk code can get stuck in an endless loop making no progress and not triggering any termination conditions. Convert all the "tmp/i" status return codes from btree operations to a common name (stat) and apply end-of-ag detection to these operations consistently.
