OK, cool. Easy enough to add now. The reason I did this was that
I added to PROC the OID of the database the backend is attached to,
so that I could make a routine to tell whether any running backends
are connected to a given database. I couldn't quite stomach adding
yet another ShmemIndex-traverser to shmem.c, so...
(I'm sure you can see already where I'm going with that: DESTROY
DATABASE now refuses to destroy a database that has running backends.
I got burnt that way once too often. The interlock against
halfway-started backends was a tad tricky, but I think it works.)
