Allow BufferAccessStrategy to limit pin count.

Browse Source 
While pinning extra buffers to look ahead, users of strategies are in
danger of using too many buffers.  For some strategies, that means
"escaping" from the ring, and in others it means forcing dirty data to
disk very frequently with associated WAL flushing.  Since external code
has no insight into any of that, allow individual strategy types to
expose a clamp that should be applied when deciding how many buffers to
pin at once.
