Tom Lane 38da053463 Try to avoid semaphore-related test failures on NetBSD/OpenBSD.
These two platforms have a remarkably tight default limit on the
number of SysV semaphores in the system: SEMMNS is only 60
out-of-the-box.  Unless manual action is taken to raise that,
we'll only be able to allocate 3 sets of 16 usable semaphores
each, leading to initdb setting max_connections to just 20.
That's problematic because the core regression tests expect
to be able to launch 20 concurrent sessions, leaving us with
no headroom.  This seems to be the cause of intermittent
buildfarm failures on some machines.

While there's no getting around the fact that you'd better raise
SEMMNS for production use on these platforms, it does seem desirable
for "make check" to pass reliably without that.  We can make that
happen, at least for awhile longer, with two small changes:

* Change sysv_sema.c's SEMAS_PER_SET to 19, so that we can eat up
all of the available semas not just most of them.

* Change initdb to make the smallest max_connections value it will
consider be 25 not 20.

As of HEAD this will leave us with four free semaphores (using the
default values for other relevant parameters such as max_wal_senders).
So we won't need to consider this again until we've invented five
more background processes.  Maybe by then we can switch both these
platforms to some other semaphore API.

For the moment, do this only in master; there've not been field
complaints that might justify a back-patch.
