Add shared_memory_type GUC.
Since 9.3 we have used anonymous shared mmap for our main shared memory
region, except in EXEC_BACKEND builds. Provide a GUC so that users
can opt for System V shared memory once again, like in 9.2 and earlier.
A later patch proposes to add huge/large page support for AIX, which
requires System V shared memory and provided the motivation to revive
this possibility. It may also be useful on some BSDs.
