the relation but it finds a pre-existing valid buffer.  The buffer does not
correspond to any page known to the kernel, so we *must* do smgrextend to
ensure that the space becomes allocated.  The 7.x branches all do this
correctly, but the corner case got lost somewhere during 8.0 bufmgr rewrites.
(My fault no doubt :-( ... I think I assumed that such a buffer must be
not-BM_VALID, which is not so.)

an LWLock instead of a spinlock.  This hardly matters on Unix machines
but should improve startup performance on Windows (or any port using
EXEC_BACKEND).  Per previous discussion.

This makes the salt space for md5 and xdes algorithms a lot smaller than
it should be.

call for every stats packet read to adjust select() timeout.  Other
stylistic improvements.

Remove the nexus between trial_buffs and trial_conns, and don't test shared buffers lower than or equal to a value we already know is good, but use that value instead. This will make it easier to adjust the trial values and/or formulae in future if necessary.

from Andrus Moor.  The former state-machine-style coding wasn't actually
doing much except obscuring the control flow, and it didn't extend
readily to fix this case, so I just took it out.  Also, add a
YY_FLUSH_BUFFER call to ensure the lexer is reset correctly if the
previous scan failed partway through the file.

a little bit, and set the minimum buffers-per-connection ratio to 10 not
5.  I folded the two test routines into one to counteract the illusion
that the tests can be twiddled independently, and added some documentation
pointing out the necessary connection between the sets of values tested.

Darwin with Apple's undersized default SHMMAX.
