If the number of sync requests is big enough, the palloc() call in
AbsorbSyncRequests() will attempt to allocate more than 1 GB of memory,
resulting in failure. This can lead to an infinite loop in the checkpointer
process, as it repeatedly fails to absorb the pending requests.
This commit introduces the following changes to cope with this problem:
1. Turn pending checkpointer requests array in shared memory into a bounded
ring buffer.
2. Limit maximum ring buffer size to 10M items.
3. Make AbsorbSyncRequests() process requests incrementally in 10K batches.
Even #2 makes the whole queue size fit the maximum palloc() size of 1 GB.
of continuous lock holding.
This commit is for master only. Simpler fix, which just limits a request
queue size to 10M, will be backpatched.
