Previously, on standby promotion, the startup process sent SIGUSR1 to the slotsync worker (or a backend performing slot synchronization) and waited for it to exit. This worked in most cases, but if the process was blocked waiting for a response from the primary (e.g., due to a network failure), SIGUSR1 would not interrupt the wait. As a result, the process could remain stuck, causing the startup process to wait for a long time and delaying promotion. This commit fixes the issue by introducing a new procsignal reason, PROCSIG_SLOTSYNC_MESSAGE. On promotion, the startup process sends this signal, and the handler sets interrupt flags so the process exits (or errors out) promptly at CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS(), allowing promotion to complete without delay. Backpatch to v17, where slotsync was introduced.
