Use WaitLatch, not pg_usleep, for delaying in pg_sleep().
This avoids platform-dependent behavior wherein pg_sleep() might fail to be interrupted by statement timeout, query cancel, SIGTERM, etc. Also, since there's no reason to wake up once a second any more, we can reduce the power consumption of a sleeping backend a tad. Back-patch to 9.3, since use of SA_RESTART for SIGALRM makes this a bigger issue than it used to be.
