Prevent concurrent SimpleLruTruncate() for any given SLRU.

The SimpleLruTruncate() header comment states the new coding rule.  To
achieve this, add locktype "frozenid" and two LWLocks.  This closes a
rare opportunity for data loss, which manifested as "apparent
wraparound" or "could not access status of transaction" errors.  Data
loss is more likely in pg_multixact, due to released branches' thin
margin between multiStopLimit and multiWrapLimit.  If a user's physical
replication primary logged ":  apparent wraparound" messages, the user
should rebuild standbys of that primary regardless of symptoms.  At less
risk is a cluster having emitted "not accepting commands" errors or
"must be vacuumed" warnings at some point.  One can test a cluster for
this data loss by running VACUUM FREEZE in every database.  Back-patch
to 9.5 (all supported versions).
