With sufficiently bad luck, it was possible for IssuePendingWritebacks()
to reopen a file after we'd processed PROCSIGNAL_BARRIER_SMGRRELEASE and
before the file was unlinked by some other backend. That left a small
hole in commit 4eb21763's plan to fix all spurious errors from DROP
TABLESPACE and similar on Windows.
Fix by closing md.c's segments, instead of just closing fd.c's
descriptors, and then teaching smgrwriteback() not to open files that
aren't already open.

Previously, it was possible for DROP DATABASE, DROP TABLESPACE and ALTER
DATABASE SET TABLESPACE to fail because other backends still had file
handles open for dropped tables. Windows won't allow a directory
containing unlinked-but-still-open files to be unlinked. Tackle this
problem by forcing all backends to close all smgr fds. No change for
Unix systems, which don't suffer from the problem, but the new code path
can be tested by Unix-based developers by defining
USE_BARRIER_SMGRRELEASE explicitly.
It's possible that PROCSIGNAL_BARRIER_SMGRRELEASE will have more
bug-fixing applications soon (under discussion). Note that this is the
first user of the ProcSignalBarrier mechanism from commit 16a4e4aec. It
could in principle be back-patched as far as 14, but since field
complaints are rare and ProcSignalBarrier hasn't been battle-tested,
that seems like a bad idea. Fix in master only, where these failures
have started to show up in automated testing due to new tests.

Provide PrefetchSharedBuffer(), a variant that takes SMgrRelation, for
use in recovery. Rename LocalPrefetchBuffer() to PrefetchLocalBuffer()
for consistency.
Add a return value to all of these. In recovery, tolerate and report
missing files, so we can handle relations unlinked before crash recovery
began. Also report cache hits and misses, so that callers can do faster
buffer lookups and better I/O accounting.

Potential future SMGR implementations may not want to create
tablespace directories when creating an SMGR relation. Move that
logic to mdcreate(). Move the initialization of md-specific
data structures from smgropen() to a new callback mdopen().

This is still using the 2.0 version of pg_bsd_indent.
I thought it would be good to commit this separately,
so as to document the differences between 2.0 and 2.1 behavior.

Previously, md.c and checkpointer.c were tightly integrated so that
fsync calls could be handed off and processed in the background.
Introduce a system of callbacks and file tags, so that other modules
can hand off fsync work in the same way.
For now only md.c uses the new interface, but other users are being
proposed. Since there may be use cases that are not strictly SMGR
implementations, use a new function table for sync handlers rather
than extending the traditional SMGR one.
Instead of using a bitmapset of segment numbers for each RelFileNode
in the checkpointer's hash table, make the segment number part of the
key. This requires sending explicit "forget" requests for every
segment individually when relations are dropped, but suits the file
layout schemes of proposed future users better (ie sparse or high
segment numbers).
