This adds some uses of the new palloc/pg_malloc variants here and
there as a demonstration and test. This is kept separate from the
actual API patch, since the latter might be backpatched at some point.

The previous system had configure put the value into the makefiles and
then have the makefiles pass them to the build of pg_config. That was
put in place when pg_config was a shell script. We can simplify that
by having configure put the value into pg_config.h directly. This
also makes the standard build system match how the MSVC build system
already does it.

Traditionally, "pg_ctl start -w" has waited for the server to become
ready to accept connections by attempting a connection once per second.
That has the major problem that connection issues (for instance, a
kernel packet filter blocking traffic) can't be reliably told apart
from server startup issues, and the minor problem that if server startup
isn't quick, we accumulate "the database system is starting up" spam
in the server log. We've hacked around many of the possible connection
issues, but it resulted in ugly and complicated code in pg_ctl.c.
In commit c61559ec3, I changed the probe rate to every tenth of a second.
That prompted Jeff Janes to complain that the log-spam problem had become
much worse. In the ensuing discussion, Andres Freund pointed out that
we could dispense with connection attempts altogether if the postmaster
were changed to report its status in postmaster.pid, which "pg_ctl start"
already relies on being able to read. This patch implements that, teaching
postmaster.c to report a status string into the pidfile at the same
state-change points already identified as being of interest for systemd
status reporting (cf commit 7d17e683f). pg_ctl no longer needs to link
with libpq at all; all its functions now depend on reading server files.
In support of this, teach AddToDataDirLockFile() to allow addition of
postmaster.pid lines in not-necessarily-sequential order. This is needed
on Windows where the SHMEM_KEY line will never be written at all. We still
have the restriction that we don't want to truncate the pidfile; document
the reasons for that a bit better.
Also, fix the pg_ctl TAP tests so they'll notice if "start -w" mode
is broken --- before, they'd just wait out the sixty seconds until
the loop gives up, and then report success anyway. (Yes, I found that
out the hard way.)
While at it, arrange for pg_ctl to not need to #include miscadmin.h;
as a rather low-level backend header, requiring that to be compilable
client-side is pretty dubious. This requires moving the #define's
associated with the pidfile into a new header file, and moving
PG_BACKEND_VERSIONSTR someplace else. For lack of a clearly better
"someplace else", I put it into port.h, beside the declaration of
find_other_exec(), since most users of that macro are passing the value to
find_other_exec(). (initdb still depends on miscadmin.h, but at least
pg_ctl and pg_upgrade no longer do.)
In passing, fix main.c so that PG_BACKEND_VERSIONSTR actually defines the
output of "postgres -V", which remarkably it had never done before.

Coverity griped about use of unchecked strcpy() into a local variable.
There's unlikely to be any actual bug there, since no caller would be
passing a path longer than MAXPGPATH, but nonetheless use of strlcpy()
seems preferable.
While at it, get rid of unmaintainable separation between list of
field names and list of field values in favor of initializing them
in parallel. And we might as well declare get_configdata()'s path
argument as const char *, even though no current caller needs that.

Move and refactor the underlying code for the pg_config client
application to src/common in support of sharing it with a new
system information SRF called pg_config() which makes the same
information available via SQL. Additionally wrap the SRF with a
new system view, as called pg_config.
Patch by me with extensive input and review by Michael Paquier
and additional review by Alvaro Herrera.
