Fix backend state after a failed after-startup shmem request

RegisterShmemCallbacks() left the backend in a bad state, if an error
occurred in the callbacks or if an allocation failed.  Firstly,
'shmem_request_state' was left in wrong state, causing a subsequent
call to RegisterShmemCallbacks() to wrongly take the postmaster
startup codepath or assertion failures in some other functions.
Secondly, the 'pending_shmem_requests' list was not properly cleaned
up, causing a subsequent RegisterShmemCallbacks() to try to process
the stale, already-freed requests.

To fix, add a PG_TRY() block to clean those things up on error.
