Get rid of WALBufMappingLock
Allow multiple backends to initialize WAL buffers concurrently. This way `MemSet((char *) NewPage, 0, XLOG_BLCKSZ);` can run in parallel without taking a single LWLock in exclusive mode. The new algorithm works as follows: * reserve a page for initialization using XLogCtl->InitializeReserved, * ensure the page is written out, * once the page is initialized, try to advance XLogCtl->InitializedUpTo and signal to waiters using XLogCtl->InitializedUpToCondVar condition variable, * repeat previous steps until we reserve initialization up to the target WAL position, * wait until concurrent initialization finishes using a XLogCtl->InitializedUpToCondVar. Now, multiple backends can, in parallel, concurrently reserve pages, initialize them, and advance XLogCtl->InitializedUpTo to point to the latest initialized page.
