    Get rid of the former rather baroque mechanism for propagating the values · 16974ee9

    of ThisStartUpID and RedoRecPtr into new backends.  It's a lot easier just
    to make them all grab the values out of shared memory during startup.
    This helps to decouple the postmaster from checkpoint execution, which I
    need since I'm intending to let the bgwriter do it instead, and it also
    fixes a bug in the Win32 port: ThisStartUpID wasn't getting propagated at
    all AFAICS.  (Doesn't give me a lot of faith in the amount of testing that
    port has gotten.)
