As currently designed, with a callback registered in a ERROR_CLEANUP
block, the shutdown callback would get called twice when updating
archive_library on SIGHUP, which is something that we want to avoid to
ease the life of extension writers.
Anyway, an ERROR in the archiver process is treated as a FATAL, stopping
it immediately, hence there is no need for a ERROR_CLEANUP block.
Instead of that, the shutdown callback is not called upon
before_shmem_exit(), giving to the modules the opportunity to do any
cleanup actions before the server shuts down its subsystems.
While on it, this commit adds some testing coverage for the shutdown
callback. Neither shell_archive nor basic_archive have been using it,
and one is added to shell_archive, whose trigger is checked in a TAP
test through a shutdown sequence.

Running a shell command for each file to be archived has a lot of
overhead and may not offer as much error checking as you want, or the
exact semantics that you want. So, offer the option to call a loadable
module for each file to be archived, rather than running a shell command.
Also, add a 'basic_archive' contrib module as an example implementation
that archives to a local directory.
Nathan Bossart, with a little bit of kibitzing by me.
