Move synchronous_standbys_defined updates from WAL writer to BG writer. This is advantageous because the BG writer is alive until much later in the shutdown sequence than WAL writer; we want to make sure that it's possible to shut off synchronous replication during a smart shutdown, else it might not be possible to complete the shutdown at all.
Per very reasonable gripes from Fujii Masao and Simon Riggs.
