Refactor EXEC_BACKEND code so that postmaster child processes reattach
...
to shared memory as soon as possible, ie, right after read_backend_variables.
The effective difference from the original code is that this happens
before instead of after read_nondefault_variables(), which loads GUC
information and is apparently capable of expanding the backend's memory
allocation more than you'd think it should. This should fix the
failure-to-attach-to-shared-memory reports we've been seeing on Windows.
Also clean up a few bits of unnecessarily grotty EXEC_BACKEND code.

Remove 'optimization' to skip resolve_symlinks() when the found

executable file isn't itself a symlink. We still need to run the
algorithm so that any directory symlinks in the path to the
executable are replaced by a true path. Noticed this on seeing
pg_config give me a completely wrong answer for --pkglibdir when
I called it through a symlink to the installation bindir.

Awhile back I added some code to StartupCLOG() to forcibly zero out
...
the remainder of the current clog page during system startup. While
this was a good idea, it turns out the code fails if nextXid is
exactly at a page boundary, because we won't have created the "current"
clog page yet in that case. Since the page will be correctly zeroed
when we execute the first transaction on it, the solution is just to
do nothing when exactly at a page boundary. Per trouble report from
Dave Hartwig.
