Previously, invoking pg_terminate_backend() or pg_cancel_backend()
with the postmaster PID produced a "PID XXXX is not a PostgresSQL
server process" warning, which does not make sense. Change to
"backend process" to make the message more exact.

It was unable to wait on a backend that had already left the procarray.
Users tolerant of that limitation can poll pg_stat_activity. Other
users can employ the "timeout" argument of pg_terminate_backend().

Revert the pg_description entry to its v13 form, since those messages
usually remain shorter and don't discuss individual parameters. No
catversion bump, since pg_description content does not impair backend
compatibility or application compatibility.

Also "make reformat-dat-files".
The only change worthy of note is that pgindent messed up the formatting
of launcher.c's struct LogicalRepWorkerId, which led me to notice that
that struct wasn't used at all anymore, so I just took it out.
This adds a function, pg_wait_for_backend_termination(), and a new
timeout argument to pg_terminate_backend(), which will wait for the
backend to actually terminate (with or without signaling it to do so
depending on which function is called). The default behaviour of
pg_terminate_backend() remains being timeout=0 which does not waiting.
For pg_wait_for_backend_termination() the default wait is 5 seconds.

This is still using the 2.0 version of pg_bsd_indent.
I thought it would be good to commit this separately,
so as to document the differences between 2.0 and 2.1 behavior.

This moves the system administration functions for signalling backends
from backend/utils/adt/misc.c into a separate file dedicated to backend
signalling. No new functionality is introduced in this commit.
