Fix erroneous Valgrind markings in AllocSetRealloc. 

If asked to decrease the size of a large (>8K) palloc chunk,
AllocSetRealloc could improperly change the Valgrind state of memory
beyond the new end of the chunk: it would mark data UNDEFINED as far
as the old end of the chunk after having done the realloc(3) call,
thus tromping on the state of memory that no longer belongs to it.
One would normally expect that memory to now be marked NOACCESS,
so that this mislabeling might prevent detection of later errors.
If realloc() had chosen to move the chunk someplace else (unlikely,
but well within its rights) we could also mismark perfectly-valid
DEFINED data as UNDEFINED, causing false-positive valgrind reports
later.  Also, any malloc bookkeeping data placed within this area
might now be wrongly marked, causing additional problems.

Fix by replacing relevant uses of "oldsize" with "Min(size, oldsize)".
It's sufficient to mark as far as "size" when that's smaller, because
whatever remains in the new chunk size will be marked NOACCESS below,
and we expect realloc() to have taken care of marking the memory
beyond the new official end of the chunk.

While we're here, also rename the function's "oldsize" variable
to "oldchksize" to more clearly explain what it actually holds,
namely the distance to the end of the chunk (that is, requested size
plus trailing padding).  This is more consistent with the use of
"size" and "chksize" to hold the new requested size and chunk size.
Add a new variable "oldsize" in the one stanza where we're actually
talking about the old requested size.

Oversight in commit c477f3e44.  Back-patch to all supported branches,
as that was, just in case anybody wants to do valgrind testing on back
branches.
