Simplify do_pg_start_backup's API by opening pg_tblspc internally.

Browse Source 
do_pg_start_backup() expects its callers to pass in an open DIR pointer
for the pg_tblspc directory, but there's no apparent advantage in that.
It complicates the callers without adding any flexibility, and there's no
robustness advantage, since we surely have to be prepared for errors during
the scan of pg_tblspc anyway.  In fact, by holding an extra kernel resource
during operations like the preliminary checkpoint, we might be making
things a fraction more failure-prone not less.  Hence, remove that argument
and open the directory just for the duration of the actual scan.
