Bugfix

Trying to connect to template0 left a global referenced buffer
because the scan of pg_database wasn't ended properly before
elog(FATAL).

This is a *seriously* bogus "fix".  If elog(FATAL) fails to release
buffer references, that's a problem that needs a general solution.
Trying to guarantee that we'll clean up all open scans on a retail
basis before any elog(FATAL) is obviously hopeless.

I'm a bit surprised to hear that such a bug exists anyway; I would've
thought that the elog error recovery would clean this up correctly...
