Don't ignore locktable-full failures in StandbyAcquireAccessExclusiveLock.

Commit 37c54863c removed the code in StandbyAcquireAccessExclusiveLock
that checked the return value of LockAcquireExtended.  That created a
bug, because it's still passing reportMemoryError = false to
LockAcquireExtended, meaning that LOCKACQUIRE_NOT_AVAIL will be returned
if we're out of shared memory for the lock table.

In such a situation, the startup process would believe it had acquired an
exclusive lock even though it hadn't, with potentially dire consequences.

To fix, just drop the use of reportMemoryError = false, which allows us
to simplify the call into a plain LockAcquire().  It's unclear that the
locktable-full situation arises often enough that it's worth having a
better recovery method than crash-and-restart.  (I strongly suspect that
the only reason the code path existed at all was that it was relatively
simple to do in the pre-37c54863c implementation.  But now it's not.)

LockAcquireExtended's reportMemoryError parameter is now dead code and
could be removed.  I refrained from doing so, however, because there
was some interest in resurrecting the behavior if we do get reports of
locktable-full failures in the field.  Also, it seems unwise to remove
the parameter concurrently with shipping commit f868a8143, which added a
parameter; if there are any third-party callers of LockAcquireExtended,
we want them to get a wrong-number-of-parameters compile error rather
than a possibly-silent misinterpretation of its last parameter.

Back-patch to 9.6 where the bug was introduced.
