    Repair two places where SIGTERM exit could leave shared memory state · d1cbd26d

    corrupted.  (Neither is very important if SIGTERM is used to shut down the
    whole database cluster together, but there's a problem if someone tries to
    SIGTERM individual backends.)  To do this, introduce new infrastructure
    macros PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP/PG_END_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP that take care
    of transiently pushing an on_shmem_exit cleanup hook.  Also use this method
    for createdb cleanup --- that wasn't a shared-memory-corruption problem,
    but SIGTERM abort of createdb could leave orphaned files lying around.
    
    Backpatch as far as 8.2.  The shmem corruption cases don't exist in 8.1,
    and the createdb usage doesn't seem important enough to risk backpatching
    further.
