Defer flushing of SLRU files.
Previously, we called fsync() after writing out individual pg_xact, pg_multixact and pg_commit_ts pages due to cache pressure, leading to regular I/O stalls in user backends and recovery. Collapse requests for the same file into a single system call as part of the next checkpoint, as we already did for relation files, using the infrastructure developed by commit 3eb77eba. This can cause a significant improvement to recovery performance, especially when it's otherwise CPU-bound. Hoist ProcessSyncRequests() up into CheckPointGuts() to make it clearer that it applies to all the SLRU mini-buffer-pools as well as the main buffer pool. Rearrange things so that data collected in CheckpointStats includes SLRU activity. Also remove the Shutdown{CLOG,CommitTS,SUBTRANS,MultiXact}() functions, because they were redundant after the shutdown checkpoint that immediately precedes them. (I'm not sure if they were ever needed, but they aren't now.)
