Make WaitLatch's WL_POSTMASTER_DEATH result trustworthy; simplify callers. Per a suggestion from Peter Geoghegan, make WaitLatch responsible for verifying that the WL_POSTMASTER_DEATH bit it returns is truthful (by testing PostmasterIsAlive). Then simplify its callers, who no longer need to do that for themselves. Remove weasel wording about falsely-set result bits from WaitLatch's API contract.
