Add a test module to test after-startup shmem allocations
The old ShmemInit{Struct/Hash}() functions could be used after
postmaster statup, as long as the allocation is small enough to fit in
spare shmem reserved at startup. I believe some extensions do that,
although we hadn't really documented it and had not coverage for it.
The new test module covers that after-startup usage with the new
ShmemRequestStruct() functions.
