Oracle: Init parameter TIMED_STATISTICS

Setting timed_statistics to true enabled the collection of timed statistics by the SQL Trace facility (such as column CPU and ELAPSED in TKPROF).
For some statistics found in v$sesstat and v$sysstat to be taken, the value of timed_statistics must be set to true. These statistics include (21c?):
The value of timed_statistics depends on the value of statistics_level, it must be true if statistics_level is not basic.
column name  format a16
column value format a7
