pgsql: Make walsender more responsive.

Make walsender more responsive.

Per testing by Andres Freund, this improves replication performance
and reduces replication latency and latency jitter.  I was a bit
concerned about moving more work into XLogInsert, but testing seems
to show that it's not a problem in practice.

Along the way, improve comments for WaitLatchOrSocket.

Andres Freund.  Review and stylistic cleanup by me.

The comments could have used a bit more copy-editing.

(I got a good laugh out of the idea of "contented locks".)

Uh... what?  I thought the meaning of that was perfectly clear.

My dictionary defines "contented" as "happy and at ease".  I think
the word intended here is "contended":

+   /* wakeup the WalSnd now that we outside contented locks */

not to mention that this sentence no verb.  I don't hold such things
against patch submitters whose first language isn't English, but
committers whose first language *is* English ought to fix them.

            regards, tom lane

Oh, nuts.  My eyes skimmed right over that one after you pointed it out.
