Instead of storing the ID of the dynamic shared memory control segment in a file within the data directory, store it in the main control segment. This avoids a number of nasty corner cases, most seriously that doing an online backup and then using it on the same machine (e.g. to fire up a standby) would result in the standby clobbering all of the master's dynamic shared memory segments. Per complaints from Heikki Linnakangas, Fujii Masao, and Tom Lane.
