Tomas Vondra ba2a3c2302 Add pg_buffercache_numa view with NUMA node info
Introduces a new view pg_buffercache_numa, showing NUMA memory nodes
for individual buffers. For each buffer the view returns an entry for
each memory page, with the associated NUMA node.

The database blocks and OS memory pages may have different size - the
default block size is 8KB, while the memory page is 4K (on x86). But
other combinations are possible, depending on configure parameters,
platform, etc. This means buffers may overlap with multiple memory
pages, each associated with a different NUMA node.

To determine the NUMA node for a buffer, we first need to touch the
memory pages using pg_numa_touch_mem_if_required, otherwise we might get
status -2 (ENOENT = The page is not present), indicating the page is
either unmapped or unallocated.

The view may be relatively expensive, especially when accessed for the
first time in a backend, as it touches all memory pages to get reliable
information about the NUMA node. This may also force allocation of the
shared memory.
