pgsql: Remove bogus "safety margin" from predicate.c shmem estimates

Remove bogus "safety margin" from predicate.c shmem estimates

The 10% safety margin was copy-pasted from lock.c when the predicate
locking code was originally added. However, we later (commit
7c797e7194) added the HASH_FIXED_SIZE flag to the hash tables, which
means that they cannot actually use the safety margin that we're
calculating for them.

The extra memory was mainly used by the main lock manager, which is
the only shmem hash table of non-trivial size that does not use the
HASH_FIXED_SIZE flag. If we wanted to have more space for the lock
manager, we should reserve it directly in lock.c. After this commit,
the lock manager will just have less memory available than before.
