Commit 4f85fde8 introduced some code that was meant to ensure that we'd process cancel, die, sinval catchup, and notify interrupts while waiting for client input. But there was a flaw: it supposed that the process latch would be set upon arrival at secure_read() if any such interrupt was pending. In reality, we might well have cleared the process latch at some earlier point while those flags remained set -- particularly notifyInterruptPending, which can't be handled as long as we're within a transaction. To fix the NOTIFY case, also attempt to process signals (except ProcDiePending) before trying to read. Also, if we see that ProcDiePending is set before we read, forcibly set the process latch to ensure that we will handle that signal promptly if no data is available. I also made it set the process latch on the way out, in case there is similar logic elsewhere. (It remains true that we won't service ProcDiePending here unless we need to wait for input.) The code for handling ProcDiePending during a write needs those changes, too. Also be a little more careful about when to reset whereToSendOutput, and improve related comments. Back-patch to 9.5 where this code was added. I'm not entirely convinced that older branches don't have similar issues, but the complaint at hand is just about the >= 9.5 code.
