    Allow on-detach callbacks for dynamic shared memory segments. · 001a573a

    Just as backends must clean up their shared memory state (releasing
    lwlocks, buffer pins, etc.) before exiting, they must also perform
    any similar cleanups related to dynamic shared memory segments they
    have mapped before unmapping those segments.  So add a mechanism to
    ensure that.
    
    Existing on_shmem_exit hooks include both "user level" cleanup such
    as transaction abort and removal of leftover temporary relations and
    also "low level" cleanup that forcibly released leftover shared
    memory resources.  On-detach callbacks should run after the first
    group but before the second group, so create a new before_shmem_exit
    function for registering the early callbacks and keep on_shmem_exit
    for the regular callbacks.  (An earlier draft of this patch added an
    additional argument to on_shmem_exit, but that had a much larger
    footprint and probably a substantially higher risk of breaking third
    party code for no real gain.)
    
    Patch by me, reviewed by KaiGai Kohei and Andres Freund.
