Clean up latch related code.
The larger part of this patch replaces usages of MyProc->procLatch
with MyLatch. The latter works even early during backend startup,
where MyProc->procLatch doesn't yet. While the affected code
shouldn't run in cases where it's not initialized, it might get copied
into places where it might. Using MyLatch is simpler and a bit faster
to boot, so there's little point to stick with the previous coding.
While doing so I noticed some weaknesses around newly introduced uses
of latches that could lead to missed events, and an omitted
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() call in worker_spi.
As all the actual bugs are in v10 code, there doesn't seem to be
sufficient reason to backpatch this.
