Respect changing pin limits in read_stream.c.
To avoid pinning too much of the buffer pool at once, read_stream.c
previously used LimitAdditionalPins(). The coding was naive, and only
considered the available buffers at stream construction time.
This commit checks before each StartReadBuffers() call with
GetAdditionalPinLimit(). The result might change over time due to pins
acquired outside this stream by the same backend. No extra CPU cycles
are added to the all-buffered fast-path code, but the I/O-starting path
now considers the up-to-date remaining buffer limit.
In practice it was quite difficult to exceed limits and cause any real
problems in v17, so no back-patch for now, but proposed changes will
make it easier.
Per code review from Andres, in the course of testing his AIO patches.
