Add wait-for-lsn process-exit cleanup callback

WaitLSNCleanup() was called from ProcKill(), but not from
AuxiliaryProcKill(), even though xlogwait.c sizes its shared memory to
include NUM_AUXILIARY_PROCS and thus accepts calls from auxiliary
processes.  Such a process exiting while waiting would leave its entry in
the heap.

Register an on_shmem_exit callback lazily before a process enters a
wait-for-lsn heap instead, as suggested by Noah: that keeps the cleanup
local to xlogwait.c and makes it harder to miss a caller that needs it,
rather than having to remember every process-kill path.
