Heikki Linnakangas 024c521117 Replace BackendIds with 0-based ProcNumbers
Now that BackendId was just another index into the proc array, it was
redundant with the 0-based proc numbers used in other places. Replace
all usage of backend IDs with proc numbers.

The only place where the term "backend id" remains is in a few pgstat
functions that expose backend IDs at the SQL level. Those IDs are now
in fact 0-based ProcNumbers too, but the documentation still calls
them "backend ids". That term still seems appropriate to describe what
the numbers are, so I let it be.

One user-visible effect is that pg_temp_0 is now a valid temp schema
name, for backend with ProcNumber 0.
