I suggest we set an in progres flag for shmem_startup_hook, as we do for
shmem_request_hook, and error out this function if called outside of this
hook. The error will be something like this:

```
ERROR:  cannot return the address of LWLocks outside of shmem_startup_hook
```

We can also update the docs.

If you agree with the above, I'll get the patch ready?
