experimental/stats: re-add type aliases for migration

[dfawley]

#7874 removed symbols without leaving behind type aliases, which we should not do. This change re-adds the things removed and should be kept for several releases.

(No release notes since it will be in a patch release.)

Will this be cherry-picked into a patch release for 1.69, or will this land in 1.70?
