Heikki Linnakangas d9c3c94365 Wake up autovacuum launcher from postmaster when a worker exits
When an autovacuum worker exits, the launcher needs to be notified
with SIGUSR2, so that it can rebalance and possibly launch a new
worker. The launcher must be notified only after the worker has
finished ProcKill(), so that the worker slot is available for a new
worker. Before this commit, the autovacuum worker was responsible for
that, which required a slightly complicated dance to pass the
launcher's PID from FreeWorkerInfo() to ProcKill() in a global
variable.

Simplify that by moving the responsibility of the signaling to the
postmaster. The postmaster was already doing it when it failed to fork
a worker process, so it seems logical to make it responsible for
notifying the launcher on worker exit too. That's also how the
notification on background worker exit is done.
