This makes it possible to store lwlocks as part of some other data structure in the main shared memory segment, or in a dynamic shared memory segment. There is still a main LWLock array and this patch does not move anything out of it, but it provides necessary infrastructure for doing that in the future. This change is likely to increase the size of LWLockPadded on some platforms, especially 32-bit platforms where it was previously only 16 bytes. Patch by me. Review by Andres Freund and KaiGai Kohei.
