Andres Freund 87a6690cc6 Change shutdown sequence to terminate checkpointer last
The main motivation for this change is to have a process that can serialize
stats after all other processes have terminated. Serializing stats already
happens in checkpointer, even though walsenders can be active longer.

The only reason the current shutdown sequence does not actively cause problems
is that walsender currently does not generate any stats. However, there is an
upcoming patch changing that.

Another need for this change originates in the AIO patchset, where IO
workers (which, in some edge cases, can emit stats of their own) need to run
while the shutdown checkpoint is being written.

This commit changes the shutdown sequence so checkpointer is signalled (via
SIGINT) to trigger writing the shutdown checkpoint without also causing
checkpointer to exit.  Once checkpointer wrote the shutdown checkpoint it
notifies postmaster via PMSIGNAL_XLOG_IS_SHUTDOWN and waits for the
termination signal (SIGUSR2, as before).  Checkpointer now is terminated after
all children, other than dead-end children and logger, have been terminated,
tracked using the new PM_WAIT_CHECKPOINTER PMState.
