Various places allocated shared memory by first allocating a small chunk
using ShmemInitStruct(), followed by ShmemAlloc() calls to allocate more
memory. Unfortunately, ShmemAlloc() does not update ShmemIndex, so this
affected pg_shmem_allocations - it only shown the initial chunk.
This commit modifies the following allocations, to allocate everything
as a single chunk, and then split it internally.
- PredXactList
- RWConflictPool
- PGPROC structures
- Fast-Path Lock Array
The fast-path lock array is allocated separately, not as a part of the
PGPROC structures allocation.
