Fix race condition between hot standby and restoring a full-page image.
There was a window in RestoreBackupBlock where a page would be zeroed out, but not yet locked. If a backend pinned and locked the page in that window, it saw the zeroed page instead of the old page or new page contents, which could lead to missing rows in a result set, or errors. To fix, replace RBM_ZERO with RBM_ZERO_AND_LOCK, which atomically pins, zeroes, and locks the page, if it's not in the buffer cache already. In stable branches, the old RBM_ZERO constant is renamed to RBM_DO_NOT_USE, to avoid breaking any 3rd party extensions that might use RBM_ZERO. More importantly, this avoids renumbering the other enum values, which would cause even bigger confusion in extensions that use ReadBufferExtended, but haven't been recompiled. Backpatch to all supported versions; this has been racy since hot standby was introduced.
