In pursuit of this (and with the expectation that WaitLatch will be needed in more places), convert the latch field that was already added to PGPROC for sync rep into a generic latch that is activated for all PGPROC-owning processes, and change many of the standard backend signal handlers to set that latch when a signal happens. This will allow WaitLatch callers to be wakened properly by these signals. In passing, fix a whole bunch of signal handlers that had been hacked to do things that might change errno, without adding the necessary save/restore logic for errno. Also make some minor fixes in unix_latch.c, and clean up bizarre and unsafe scheme for disowning the process's latch. Much of this has to be back-patched into 9.1.
